Hearing how Bigfoot grifters hate a new scholarly book. Every solid scholarly effort on cryptozoology shines a light on the grifting and cosplaying. So, every one gets ripped apart by them. Social grandstanding is all they have to use. Pathetic.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are entirely detached from the popular reality?

Against everything currently being done by the American gov't?Hate the AI-everything push? Don't want everything to be commercialized and commodified? Want billionaire ignoramuses to stop running things? Me too.

But my opinion seems to not matter one bit at the moment as the world spins on regardless of my judgement.

Frosty the squirrel visited the water bowl last week, along with a skunk, oposum, raccoon, another squirrel, mouse and birds.

Look, I'm not going to pretend to be upset about violence on horrid people. I didn't wish it but it happened. I also don't need lectures about how the "death of human empathy" is upon us. I'm not abnormal. We've been pushed really far. Schadenfreude is a valid human emotion.

Looking at the FB responses to a community fire dept who cancelled future 4th of July fireworks due to the bad behavior this year. The comments are frequently racist and advocating vigilante violence (against teens, who they say are fighting. Ironic.) Blaming "liberals" for ruining it for the white families.

Ugly, ugly stuff. This kind of attitude is fueling ICE violence. It's not going away tomorrow.

Yard cam. Frosty pays a visit.

In Brief: The New York Times Lets Diana Pasulka Spread UFO Mystification - JASON COLAVITO

I am NOT a fan of Pasulka whatsoever. Religiously bent UAP cult people seem entirely unable to think critically.

My recording microphone keeps failing. I've had bad luck with mics. I wanted to throw the last 3 out the window. All bad or crapped out. So, not going to be able to finish a new video until this is sorted.

Went to see the Eternal Flame in NY. But it was out.

The biggest threat to this world is insecure men.

Every fucking day.

It’s been an extraordinarily wet spring in #Pennsylvania. We are overrun by ants, flies, and weeds. Soon, mosquitoes.

BlueSky must be making waves because the Vice piece of shit is on there. I told him to fuck off the planet, reported the account and then blocked it. But it’s rewarmed Twitter so I’m sure they’re stoked.

Excellent and critical news reporting from long-serving meterorologist in Florida.

Lily of the valley. It’s the end of their bloom time now. #bloomscrolling

My kid is graduating uni soon and she has a job lined up. I’m nervous for her but she said, “Honestly, it’s like a dream to only have to work for 8 hours a day.” She can’t wait.

I had a discouraging incident today of an acquaintance surprising me with belief in Graham Hancock's bullshit. He didn't know my history advocating against pseudoscience crackpots. It's really hard to explain in a casual conversation, but the noise I made when he mentioned the name probably said a lot.

The folks at Tesla are a bit slow...

"many employees fear that Musk may be permanently damaging Tesla's reputation by his association with Trump — and of course, his personal conduct, like performing Nazi salutes."

YA THINK?!?! Dumbasses. https://futurism.com/tesla-employees-musk-fears
