A week or so ago, Biden mumbles out a line:
And the crowd claps like seals. Muffuker should be in a memory care unit in a nursing home and he’s ‘running’ the country. But they clapped and cheered? Must have been a toady off to the side with a sign.
Speaking of memory care…our elderly gentleman with memory issues leader came out to tell the world that he dindu nuffin with those secret files he had in his possession that they declined to prosecute him for, because it would be pointless. Behold:
Old man with memory retention issues came out to tell the world he’s the best, most competent man for the job, only to display why he’s not. Good lord, what must the rest of the world – China, Russia, our allies, think about this spectacle?
Grampa Simpson has the nuclear football. Awesome!
I wonder which toady decided the best defense is a good offense and shoved the sundowning old man out there to babble. Hell, at this point, Harris looks good. She’s a cackling dingbat but at least she’s sentient. But the interesting part here is that the press went into a feeding frenzy, and it was shown. Now, it’s viral. I think they (TPTB) are lining him up to be chucked out of office so they can at least have a chance of staying in power.
There are two things I absolutely hate about software. The first is becoming an annuity. AS I see it, I’m paying for a product, and I should be able to use it until I no longer want it. This is why I don’t lease cars. The car is an asset. A depreciating asset for sure but it still an asset. I hate that needle in my veins sucking out dollars, even if it’s only a few bucks a month. The second thing I can’t stand is the attitude, even if you bought the program as opposed to having a subscription, that this is our software were just letting you use it. So they feel free to update it anytime the manufacturer sees fit. I can’t count how many times I click on an icon and have to sit while the stupid program does an update before starting.
I’ve written a bunch of about my old neighborhood which was loaded with young women, usually walking with their kids in the stroller, or in the park working out. The new neighborhood is like that. Only the women I’ve seen walking around here are a lot older women, and they are walking dogs.
I’ve come to the conclusion that people push their grocery carts just like they drive. No sense that someone may be around them. They’ll cut you off, stand there in the middle of the aisle, and nearly run into you.
A group of foreigners gets their rape on in Italy. Full of outrage, the deputy PM calls for chemical castration. Why chemical? Physically cut their balls off, shoot them full of estrogen, and ship them back from whence they came.
Met Herself for the first time in eight months or so, for her to pass me a check. I was waiting in the lobby, immersed in my mobile, she approached from the side, shoved a check at me, then stood there looking at me like I was sitting there with my dick in my hand. I was uncharacteristically at a loss for words. Man, I’m done.
Nikolai notices that it doesn’t seem to matter if Uncle Sugar loses wars. He’s right. The money line:
America’s modern wars are foreign adventures, plotted by ghouls with their own obsessions and ambitions. You could run a sim, change the outcome of any of these post-WWII conflicts, and America would come out looking about the same

That’s sums things up, dunnit? The problem here is, and has been for some time, that no one – but no one, pays for their mistakes. Politicians, Presidents, CEOs, whatever. Ain’t no one falling on their swords these days over anything.

Turns out, he was right. Although the context at the time was about how apps would share information using a protocol they invented called ‘jini’. Whatever happened to ‘Jini’? Reason I went down that rabbit hole was that battery went wonky on my iPhone 8. Rather than going back to Apple for a new battry this time, I traded it in on an iPhone 14. Man, they’ve made some improvements. The new phone cloned the old one, went to the carrier and downloaded it’s SIM, went to Apple and removed the iPhone 8 from my device list before offering to wipe the old phone clean – removing apps and all my data. Man, that was easy.
Far as the new mobile goes, I like the facial recognition and the audio quality is much, much better. BTW – I’m sure my face is on the cloud already. Bad thing is they changed the gestures used to control the thing.
I’ve been looking for a second vehicle to lesson my fuel bill. The math doesn’t quite work, but I did wind up buying something with a frugal 4 banger. The prep dudes took it for a spin, dropped the key fob, and it got run over, turning my new (used) ride into a brick. So it’s at a dealer getting a new ECU and keys. I’ll chirp about it, for sure, when I get it delivered.
Have a great weekend.

I have a 92 Y.O. Mother In-law that lives with us. She has dementia and horrible O.C.D. Her and Biden are metanlly identical. In fact, I would actually say SHE might have a little more on the ball than HE does. It’s horrendously disturbing and utterly maddening.
As to “Subscription” software, I deplore the he|| out of that as well. Unfortunately, that’s going to become infectious. Imagine if you will getting the email or SMS: “We’re sorry, the subscription for the Air Conditioner Service on your Automobile has EXPIRED. Please go to this link and have a credit card number handy”
There was a time when we would shoot a lame horse.
I think that paradigm applies to both of the aforementioned.
For me, should I ever hear the word “Dementia” issued from a medical professional pursuant to a diagnosis for myself, I have an exit strategy in place. That dog WILL NOT hunt.
Unless I can renew the subscription on my brain.
Yeah. Right.
