Good morning.

I had a McDonald’s Quarter pounder last night. I remember when McD’s Quarter Pounders first came out and I loved them. But they are different now, and I don’t get the same joy of eating them that I used to. Today’s QP is always dryish and over cooked not juicy like vintage QP’s.

Good morning.

My take is that Trump’s war with Iran and his ‘peace negotiations’ will gain nothing, will strengthen Iran’s hand, and end up costing everybody many billions of dollars for years. Trump is a loser.

Good morning.

Well, both sides bought themselves 2 weeks, then we do this all over again.

I read somewhere online that tofu was really cheap right now. So, there is that.

Good morning.

I have no idea how to dig ourselves out of the mess that is Trump’s Iran war. Neither does Trump.

Meanwhile, no Epstein Files.

Notice how everything, every product and service has become corrupt, dark patterned and shoddy? Thank the oligarchs and monopolies. Just saying.

I’m seeing ads for “premium t-shirts”. Not dress shirts, not proper button up casual shirts, but t-shirts. It’s so good to live in a society that knows how to dress up. Next up will be premium flip-flops for weddings and funerals.

Good morning.

What I learned watching TV in the 1960’s: every home should have a CO2 fire extinguisher as a backup in case an alien monster is breaking down your door and your handgun won’t stop them. Give them a blasts of CO2 and this, somehow slows the monster down. Plus it looks cool.

Carbon paper is still being made and sold. This is how we will fight the oppression from AI and oligarch Establishment.

Good morning and Happy Easter.

Let me make this clear: Waffle House is the officially designated destination for all people teleporting in the USA.

Good morning.

I’ve mostly quit buying bottled water and the news about micro-plastics in it have confirmed that choice. Now I only drink locally sourced, free range water. Not raw water but treated by the water utility.

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:38:10 -0500

Headlines: Nearly all headlines describe Trump’s speeches or comments as “rambling”. The man cannot focus or stay on topic, he just babbles away. It’s not a good sign. Trump should resign.

Rumor: Sec. of ‘War’, Hegseth is firing top generals who oppose use of ground troops in Trump’s Iran war. If true, this shows where Hegseth and Trump are leaning. Ground troops in Iran will not go well.

I remember the NASA Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs and was rocket/space crazy as a kid. Like others have mentioned, I don’t see a compelling need right now to send humans to the Moon with Artemis II. It can wait. Explore w/robots.

Full disclosure: I did not like Space Food Sticks.

I remember Nestlé Quik chocolate and strawberry powders, with the pry off steel lid. So I bought a bottle of their strawberry pre-mixed liquid milk drink to try. Not like I remember as a kid, but that was many decades ago. Not compelling. i won’t buy again.

We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 04:29:22 -0500

Good morning.

Prediction: Trump is going to use the cost of our forever war with Iran as an excuse to try to cut Medicaid, Medicare and many other gov’t services, because “there is a war on.” A war which he started without any clue as to what to do.

Good morning.

There’s little point in having April Fools Day when crazy has become the daily or hourly norm and legit headlines read like something out of The Onion.

Meanwhile, where’s my ballroom?

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 04:52:53 -0500

Good morning.

US Mattress Tag Police are being sent to airports to help with long TSA lines.

Trump says the non-war with Iran is shiney, going smooth, total victory expected Real Soon Now. Nothing to see here, move along.

Trump is micro-managing US just fine, no need 4 states, congress, supremes.

Good morning.

Trump might be negotiating with Martians from the planet Mars, after Trump threatened to invade Mars. Nobody knows why we need to invade Mars or how, but a WH spox said Trump knows they are a threat and nasty. Some claim Mars has giant Viagra mines, an essential resource.

Good morning.

I got my Covid-19 spring booster shot this morning. Yea me!

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 12:49:31 -0500

Adding things to my bucket list:

Tear down some important building and build a ballroom.

Win a dozen dollar store peace prizes.

Start a war.

Chase away all my allies.

Bury my ex on a golf course.

Burn Rome.

Give away shoes while Rome burns.

Spend money like a drunken sailor.

Uninvite Vance.

Good morning.

Seen and Heard: Trump wants his signature to appear on all US currency. Somebody on social media has suggested people should redact the signature on the bills, just like the Epstein Files are redacted, with a Sharpie. One has to admire whoever thought that up.

I got a robo-call from my insurance company today. The first thing it said was if I wanted to opt-out of these calls to call this number. Both a robo-call and having to call a number to opt-out are dark patterns. I hung up, they can send me a letter.

My morning snark is better. By the end of the day my brain is tired and I’m not up to snarking.

For the amount of time you spent in the airport TSA line, you probably could have just driven to your destination.
