Lies about lemons and other assorted flavors.

AI and my external hard drive full of photosAgainst my better judgment, I've opened comments on the site. Hero Syndrome: I still think that 2.0 will be similar to 1.0 when it comes to astonishing incompetence. Don’t be surprised if they tank everything trying to solve a problem they created. I just wish they could do that without getting people killed. Why even have confirmation hearings if they're just going to perjure themselves with no consequence? End the hearing if you catch them in a lie. End the hearing if they dodge questions, or don't answer. End the hearing the first time someone doesn't answer a yes or no question with a yes or no. Just adjourn, clear the room, and let the nominee sit there. As always, this will not happen. Ever. Wouldn't it be awesome, though? Do we point and laugh at the clown show? Samsung announced they are working on a non-invasive blood sugar monitor for a wearable. Jim Acosta, Journ-A Lister? I hope not. “I did that” stickers—Biden’s on gas pumps, Trump’s on eggs. How original. Please jump off a cliff into a pit of rusty razor blades.T.F.E. The F@@king Experts. There's not a thing they don't know, just ask them.

SEGMENT 1Don’t Look Back In Anger. SEGMENT 2“If Y’all could just get back to the Culture War and fighting each other instead of the Upper Class, that’d be great”. CEO’s, probably. When you cheer because ABC settled a lawsuit over the difference between rape and sexual assault, that’s got to be the weakest flex ever. Look. I don’t know how we will cope through the next four years. I sincerely hope this bunch will be as incompetent as the last bunch and that we all live through that incompetence.

SEGMENT 1Christmas wrapping (thyself around a telephone pole). Lynnhaven Mall Exit Swerve. I don’t complain anymore. I’ve been to New York since then. Taxi Story Navigator Story——-SEGMENT 2All the news that’s printed to fit. Rudy Is Losing It https://newrepublic.com/post/188868/courtroom-sketch-artist-rudy-giuliani-losing-itThe PodBros are coming https://www.dailykos.com/story/2024/11/27/2288821/-Yikes-Trump-may-let-podcast-bros-into-White-House-Briefing-Room?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=The Right’s 24/365 Propaganda Machine Vs…nothing. And you wonder why the Dems lost. Meanwhile, Legacy Corporate Media is rotting. The next stars in the Democratic Party—the one we run for office, anyway— need to embrace, even CREATE, new media. They need to start now. Gavin Newsom needs a podcast. Mayor Pete needs to be on Hot Ones. Run with that. Jack Smith Report expected to be released before Inauguration Day. https://www.newsweek.com/jack-smith-deadline-final-donald-trump-report-1991904 Looking at you, Garland.
