I’ve been wondering what people of the future will be doing with their time when robots do everything. The animated film WALL-E comes to mind… [Maybe *that’s* where he got his vision?]

So. Not even Mongols of the Golden Horde era? Good to know.

Here you go. This one’s for you >>

Yes. Try re-reading my comment.

It continues to improve though. Such as the new feature that blocks ads on YouTube. And newer one that will automatically request that a website opt out of tracking you (if you agree of course).

Been reading the news about people who long overstayed their visas getting sent back to their country of origin (if they’re ’lucky’). IIRC Musk has overstayed his student visa. Can we hold him to the same standard? Oh. Right…

Biden was derelict at communicating the policies, goals of the policies & results of the policies he implemented. People won’t support elected officials & said results if they don’t hear about them. Or see the results in their communities. Mamdani excels at all three. That. Can be replicated.

And that ‘Ukrainian aggression’ is breathing air I assume.

I’ve been wondering if anyone‘s tracking where funds go. Thinking mainly about when we read that someone has donated $$ for access to the Oval Office. But. To tease out the internal shifting (misappropriating) to pay for pet projects (ballrooms, arches, golf courses… ) will take some shoe leather.

DuckDuckGo…

Or. Buy it. Read it. Then donate to your local library…

Hannibal Lecter? So that’s where he ended up…

Yeah. I noticed in a video clip today that Trump now says 18 killed in two wars. Cute. (His crew find their traction in the spaces between words in the laws, regulations & plain meaning of the constitution.)

I guess I’m a wimp. When it reaches 90° here—I head to the pool for laps rather than jog (slog?) around the track.

I wonder if—with reckless arrogance driven by FOMO—they build these ‘houses of cards’ so high that when they collapse. All these mega tech companies break apart & must sell off the various bits for scrap. Is that too much to ask?

His epiphany triggered perhaps by his companies foundering? Floundering? While he was swinging his chain saw for amusement.

Mine was a professor who—in his letter of recommendation for my first real job—said I’d make an okay technician. I ‘showed him’ by getting a PhD from Stanford. My dad too. Didn’t want to help with undergrad fees, so I worked in the cafeteria & scrimped on food & stuff…

Um. In high school I learned about the concept of ex post facto. Which I took to mean you can’t apply new rulings retroactively. Is that obsolete? Or quaint? Or did I misunderstood its meaning…

I did read the article John cited about the state of cookware under long-known brand names. And asked Mr Google for U.S. suppliers of French (borosilicate) Pyrex. Now I need to decide if there are any products I can’t live w/o. Maybe a covered casserole dish. Or their measuring cups…

I’m confused. I thought the Supreme Court told Trump he can’t impose tariffs willy nilly during a fit of pique. Or needing a fresh, tough guy headline.
