I am far too lazy to attempt the calculation, but if someone wants to estimate the absolute largest number of humans who could physically attend T's inauguration, I would be grateful. Cause whatever that number is, T will inevitably claim at least double or triple that number of attendees cuz of course he will. What a fragile chamber pot of a bozo.

I saw an article on flipboard saying that despite higher fees for the biggest chat gpt users, Open AI is losing money hand over fist. If AI were restaurant food, the cuisine would be turning rancid even as the prices increased. How long before the big box stores start peddling AI cornflakes, dish soap, and toilet paper? 😇

Wondering where the tipping point with bird flu deaths in the USA will be, and how far past the point of no return we'll find ourselves. Damn viruses. If they were only a little bigger so we could see them coming. Like maybe the size of weather balloons.

"Mama, what's that big ugly gray thing?"

"Oh, sweetie, that's a bird flu virus. Quick-- let's go indoors and close the doors and windows."

"But Mama, one of the kids in my class was passing little ones out in school today. It looks just the same as that big one. I'll show you: it's in my backpack."

I enjoy reading about history and also listening to history books read aloud. There are times, however, where I find myself sighing. As when listening to a description of countries and empires fighting over Syria. It was in the 1840s if I recall correctly, but with a few mental adjustments, it sounded oh so contemporary. Good grief.

The plan is coming into focus.

Don't report or investigate causes of car crashes. That makes it easier to sell dangerous vehicles.

Ban vaccines. That will increase sickness and deaths, but will also increase sales of fake cures which will increase profits for the very people who want to ban the vaccines.

Keep allies like the Saudis happy. This has all kinds of benefits for our billionaire class and none for regular folks.

Promise tax cuts but only deliver them to the ultra-wealthy. No need to explain that.

Ugh.

I was looking at a review of an online phone service for small businesses. It didn't look too bad until I got to the section on customer service and read that it's hard to reach a human if you need help. Instead customers with problems are 'served' by AI chat-thingies.

Crossed that one off the list. If we call a company for support, we need to speak with a human.

Time for evening prayers. Note, I am not religious.

Hey, Trump! I pray you have the worst evening, night, week, and month of your miserable life. I pray that enough of your rotting brain still functions so that you will appreciate how badly you have lost. Amen.

For some reason I don't think Trump or his cronies would lose sleep over destroying the US economy as long as they were able to divert billions of dollars into their own accounts before the end. They don't care what happens to 99.9% of us. If anything we're inconvenient and irritating. Even their own children are inconvenient and irritating. Trump is essentially a huge ego wrapped in blubber.

@pinkears The ones in Hell are in fact fakes, but Vance won't know. Cats and cat ladies are divine. 😇

Conversation with a deity

Deity: I have some messages for you to pass on.

Me: Why me?

D: Don't interrupt. First, Speaker of the House Johnson says people are not interested in Trump's health. Tell Johnson that as of tomorrow, his body will have Trump's health and vice versa.

Me: I don't think Johnson will like that.

D: Don't interrupt. Tell Trump that I spoke with Satan and there's no room at the inn.

Me: Trump won't go to hell when he dies???

D: Don't interrupt. The gods are discussing a suitable punishment. I suggested a television interview. The program will be called "Six Quintillion Minutes" and it will feature a rotatiing cast of Trump's least favorite TV late night hosts asking him questions and laughing at his answers.

Me: Trump won't like that. Oh, yeah--he'll be dead.

D: Don't interrupt. Another suggestion was to have Trump spend eternity building the wall on the border with Mexico. By himself. Eternal thirst, eternal heat stroke, eternal recordings of the worst Mexican narco pop music.

Me: That sounds like hell on earth!

D: Don't interrupt. What else? Oh, yes. Tell JD Vance that he WILL be going to Hell and when he gets there, it'll be angry cat ladies for all eternity. That dude is going to suffer. Okay, get going.

Me: Yes Ma'am!

Sometimes things are just so ridiculous I have to laugh. I saw a report earlier that MTG accused the Dems of controlling the weather and creating hurricane Helene. Doesn't she realize that if they had that kind of power, they'd have long ago shut her up in a tomb on the backside of Mount Everest with Boebert, Moscow Mitch, and lots of similar clowns for her only companions? I know she's scientifically challenged, but still. Or she's smart as a whip but knows her audience has the intelligence of fence posts and just enjoys telling them whoppers. Either way, a loser and a weirdo and a blot on our nation.

I admit that robot wives has not been on my list of things to pay attention to. But having noticed the topic, I am wondering if the human husbands will be allowed to have multiple robot wives? Polyroboty? As the robot wives become more sophisticated, will the human husbands (owners? masters?) have to worry about robot jealousy?

Hubby: "Will you two please stop arguing! You're driving me crazy!"

Wives (whispering): "Let's kill him and hide the body. He works remotely and it's dead easy work--nobody will even notice..."

Trump's MO: If I commit a crime today, people will forget about the crime I committed yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that. Pretty soon people expect me to commit a daily crime, and eventually the crimes aren't real any more. Works like a charm!

I don't want to get in trouble with Google or any other search engine, but I'm so tempted to search for "What word or phrase is much worse than 'asshole'?"

I need a better way to describe JD Vance. He's a special guy...😇

Having recently canceled our subscription to the NY Times, and keeping--at arm's length--our sub to the Washington Post, I see no reason at all why Harris should waste time on the MSM. I don't like the situation, but if the MSM is going to let Trump play them day and night, and pretend both sides are "equal" when one would like to move forward solving problems and the other are Nazi worshippers, then the journalists have lost the right to access. Maybe they'll earn it back. Maybe not. Fact is I learn more about what's going on here on Mastodon than anywhere else. Links to original documents, reports from climate scientists, and great photos to sooth my soul and make me smile. Not bad!

Having Trump say something is "illegal" is rich. So weird.

If the time and money spent trying to justify impeaching Biden had been spent on supporting libraries or feeding children, I wouldn't hate the GOP House members with such a purple fury. A pox on them one and all.

There have been lots of exciting groups organizing and fund-raising for Harris & Walz. What's wrong with the other team? I can help with titles:

Terrorists for Trump
Weirdos for Trump
Rapists for Trump
Perverts for Trump
Women-haters for Trump
Ignoramuses for Trump
Nazis for Trump
Panicked White Dudes for Trump

C'mon, Donald. Turn off the TV and get moving! Time is running out! The ❤️ Taylor Swift ❤️ tidal wave is on its way. 😂
