Guns, Pt. 2

More people with more guns quickly lead to fewer people. Guns can’t die like a child. A rifle from the civil war could still easily kill. Find a car that lasts that long. We cherish the presumed right to kill each other. It’s a bizarre point of pride.

Guns, Pt. 1

Once upon a time there were more people than guns. But then more people bought more guns to protect themselves from all the other people with guns. It’s between an addiction and a fetish. I don’t support unrestricted gun ownership. License, registration, and proof of insurance. Cops ask for that on every traffic stop.

I Prefer Reality

This might just be the year I go from being non-religious to anti-religion. And to be clear, I’m not talking about becoming anti-the-religious. I’m talking about being anti-religion, the practices, the superstitions, the evil the institution has done to humanity. We should never give religion a pass when it disregards its own beliefs.

Comrade Carlson

If our boy Tucker is considering that job offer from his friends at RT, he needs to do it now. Now is when Russians are in the most need of someone who will lie to them every night and reassure them that everything’s going to be fine. Plus he’s hot right now. He needs to get the ring before some other bastard who just got fired by their network grabs it.

The End Of The World

I believe another “End of the World"™️ has come and gone, and they’re still here. What if the Rapture has already happened, but only about 3 people were raptured. All the rest of those who hoped to go are just as screwed as they’ve always said we were.

The Talk Show with Quinn Nelson

I just had the pleasure of listening to The Talk Show with @gruber featuring @snazzyq. Even though I’m subscribed and enjoy each Snazzy Labs video, I didn’t realize just how intelligent and informed Quinn is. I love listening to experts discussing their field of interest. Everything these two produce is highly recommended. Mastodon

What do you carry everyday?

To nerds, everyday carry means tech. To Amazon, everyday carry means guns.

Bye, Bye, Birdie

Why are so many people upset about the demise of Twitter? There was a time before Twitter. I know, I was there. We had many means of communication. I joined Twitter in 2007 but didn’t use it much because at first there weren’t many people on it and at that time I was involved with several forums. There will be successors to Twitter. Will it be CoSo or Mastodon? Too soon to tell.

Whose idea was it?

I’d like to see a tech-oriented psychiatrist tackle the association between AI and cryptomnesia.

The Cluttered Life

I’ll become YouTube famous once I start uploading my tutorials on how to accomplish simple tasks at home, work, and online in the absolutely most complicated, least effective way possible. My hacks will endanger the lives of anyone insane enough to actually try them. I will have survivors as guests if there are any. And it will become insanely popular.

Above the dirt

So, it seems being 69 isn’t so bad after all. It’s only been less than a day but nothing horrible yet. At least I’m still alive, and that beats being dead. I know I’ll be dead someday, but I intend to enjoy being alive as long as it lasts.

Thoughts at turning 69

Being alive really does beat being dead. We were all dead before we were born. Do you remember any of it? I don’t. If it had been fun you’d think we’d have some memory of it. So being dead must be boring as hell. Being alive is so much better, even when life sucks. I recommend life to anyone who has the opportunity to live. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This explains a lot

From the NAACP: The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the “Slave Patrol.” The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of terror and squash slave uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners.

Qualified Immunity

Police should not enjoy qualified immunity. No public official should. In this country, public servants should be responsible for everything they do. Immunity should not be allowed in a democratic republic.

Polo or Foxhunting, Roderick?

Politics has become a rich person’s game. No more denials. This is a game for those who take no responsibility and have no limits. It’s a video game.

Thursday has to be the least interesting day of the week.

In running the updates on my 12 year old ASUS laptop with Windows 10 Home, I get the following notice I’ve never encountered before. “Your version of Windows has reached the end of service”. This whole machine has reached its end of service. No surprises there.

DJT Lite

George Santos has shown he has a spine. In the face of ever mounting evidence that he lied his way into his job, he refuses to leave (now he’ll always be a celebrity like ol’ Kyle) and refuses to explain. At least he’s not like his fellow Republicans, who are invertebrates. He’s Donald Trump Lite. I bet Jr’s raging with jealousy.

I never noticed that Windows warning before. 💾
