Climate change is Real. It's Hotter than Hell on the East Coast of the United States and Trump just Postponed his big 250th Birthday Celebration Because it's Dangerous to Go Outdoors during the Day...

Very few people were attending anyway... And so they postponed all events until after 5:00 p.m. - and instead of Trump giving a speech on the National Mall... He flew to Mount Rushmore where it's cool and he's planning to give a speech there... Is that the real solution to climate change? #Runaway?

I Refuse to Use Artificial Intelligence. - from this day forward I will no longer generate images or text using AI...  June 2nd, 2026 - and here we are on July 3rd, 2026 and I still haven't used artificial intelligence... The main thing I was using it for was to create mockery memes... Well I can get the same thing done by pirating images off the internet and adding snarky captions... 

It's easy to create a blog using AI but with just a little bit of effort I can get an honest expression of my thoughts... See? Pirated images + plus potato shop = a good enough meme!

I can generate a lot of text by simply typing what I think... And then reading it... And rewriting it to correct any errors... Sometimes rewriting a paragraph after 5 years reveals my growth... There's no point in copying and pasting Google AI answers because if people wanted to read that... They could just go to Google... And ask their own questions... 

People writing what they think has produced: Edgar Allan Poe, Philip K Dick, Jack Kerouac, Wild Bill Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Bill Wilson, The Bible... Humans writing words is the best way!

Here's an example of the same meme done using AI... Oh so cute!


and under no circumstances will I ever use Grok... Because I've been banished from TwitterX for life!

Sam Kahn Said: I can still, like in a recurring nightmare, remember the tone of voice of the techie who finished my purchase of my first iPhone. “Welcome to Apple”, he said, as if he were immersing me into a bath of smugness. If we were acting a scene, the subtext would have been completely clear: I was in now and would never get out again. AI firms are now inviting me — inviting us — in just the same way. I am not falling for it again. We have to decline. We have to collectively boycott artificial-intelligence products while there’s still time. Because AI is no good for us — no good for our minds, creativity, or competence — and as it gets jammed down our throats, we are the only ones with the power to refuse.

Nothing has convinced Sabine Zetteler of the value of using AI.

"I read a really great phrase recently that said something along the lines of 'why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write' and that is such a powerful statement and one that aligns absolutely with my views."

Ms Zetteler runs her own London-based communications agency, with around 10 staff, some full-time some part-time.

and then on Facebook SC Said: 

This post has appeared in my feed several times now, and I'm disgusted by some of the things people are saying: calling employees "lazy" for not cleaning up the mess, and saying that they probably don't have enough employees because people "don't want to work because they get more on unemployment." I worked at JC Penney for 4 years, and this is very common in retail stores. It's NOT because employees are lazy. Employees can only do so much, and customers can truly be disgusting pigs! I could write a book about all of the nasty, disgusting things customers did when I worked at JCP. Employees did the best they could to keep up, but you can only do so much when a store is busy and you have to ring customers up on the register, or you have to help customers on the sales floor. During the holiday season, they hired extra seasonal workers whose entire job was to do nothing but fold clothes and put things back where they belonged, and even with extra employees, it was STILL impossible to keep up with the speed at which the customers went through and destroyed everything. This is NOT the fault of "lazy" workers. If you've ever worked in a department store, especially a big chain like a Macy's, you're not ALLOWED to be "lazy." The management makes sure the employees are doing their work at all times...and if a store is messy, I can promise you that there are people constantly working to get it cleaned up! 

I'm getting really sick and tired of hearing this mantra that "people don't want to work because they get more on unemployment." People DON'T get more on unemployment. Unemployment is NEVER as much as you make by working, and unemployment is finite. It doesn't last forever. Also, you don't get to just say, "I don't feel like working, so I think I'll just collect unemployment instead." In order to qualify for unemployment, you have to have been let go from your last job. You can't voluntarily quit a job and then collect unemployment. You have to be let go, and then you have to constantly show them that you are looking for work, and you can't turn down any work if it's offered. So no, nobody is just refusing to work because they'd rather collect unemployment. The system isn't set up that way. 

Customers in retail stores need to start showing a little more respect for retail workers. You probably look down on retail workers just like you look down at "burger-flippers." How DARE these people want a living wage?!?!? And in the meantime, you come in and trash their place of employment, probably thinking to yourself, "I don't have to clean up my mess. That's THEIR job! The lazy bums!" Show a little respect for working people. Quit trashing retail stores, and quit saying that nobody wants to work. And when you see a post like this one, quit blaming the employees and calling them "lazy." If you've ever worked retail, you KNOW this isn't the fault of the employees. They're working their tails off to wait on lazy, disgusting slobs who treat them like peons. Retail workers deserve a LOT more pay than they get, and they also deserve a lot more respect.

What did Timothy Leary mean by "find the others"? Did he ever expand on this phrase? (Was he around to enjoy its popularity?) How did this phrase describe his own experiences? In what context does he suggest this course of action?

Here's the full quote from Timothy Leary :

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.[2]

Former GW Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson

"President Richard Nixon demonstrated that the GOP could win with a message of White grievance. That dubious achievement somehow got lodged in Donald Trump’s brain as a political ideal. But this time it will lead his party toward eventual and deserved failure.

Amid the social turbulence of the late 1960s and early 1970s, many White people were convinced that American identity was being assaulted, diluted or corrupted. Some tried to blame African American rioters, radicals and “agitators.” Some placed the main responsibility on hippies, weak-kneed liberals and pointy-headed intellectuals. Nixon took such resentments and sent them into political battle.

The strategy made political (though not moral) sense. When Nixon announced the existence of a “silent majority” in late 1969 and employed the “Southern strategy” in two presidential elections, he had two things going for him. First, about 88 percent of the U.S. population was White. Second, the social disorders that Nixon decried were widespread. In July 1967 alone, there were riots in Newark (where 26 people died), Plainfield, N.J.; Minneapolis; Detroit (where 43 people were killed); and Milwaukee. After the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in early 1968, violence spread to more than 100 cities. In that demographic and social environment, appeals to “law and order” were often disturbingly effective.

It sometimes seems like Trump has just emerged from a time machine — fresh from a delightful strategy lunch with Vice President Spiro Agnew, an instructive discussion on campaign ethics with Attorney General John Mitchell and an editing session with speechwriter Pat Buchanan. Trump stokes fears that minorities will invade the suburbs, that migrants will steal jobs and rape women and that Muslim refugees are “Trojan horse” threats. He attacks journalists as “enemies of the people.” He tries to lump peaceful protesters with violent provocateurs. It is all very much like Nixon — without the intelligence, military service, governing experience or geostrategic insight.

Trump’s advocates cite some factors in their favor. They claim that the dislocation caused by globalization is the dry underbrush for their populist wildfire. And among White evangelicals, Trump has taken full advantage of the fear and resentment fueled by lost social status.

But this is not Nixon’s America. About 72 percent of the American population is now White, and more minority children than White children are being born each year. Even given recent events in Portland, Ore., and Chicago, the level of social disorder does not compare to the late 1960s. A solid majority of Americans supports the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement, rather than fearing (as Fox News’s Tucker Carlson charmingly put it) that it will “come for you.”

It is absurd to talk about White grievance politics as the wave of the political future. Republicans are now determining if the 2016 presidential election was the last time this message worked, or the second-to-last time. The stakes are high between those two possibilities. But the direction of American society toward greater diversity is not in doubt.

This recognition (or its absence) matters greatly to the immediate future of Republican politics at the national level. One faction of thinkers and prospective presidential candidates (such as Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton) believes that the Trump wave is the new, permanent level of the ideological tide. They seek to practice Trump’s grievance politics minus the crazy. But they underestimate how discredited this type of politics has become because of Trump’s cruelty and deadly incompetence — and how complete the public repudiation of the GOP is likely to be in November.

The Nixon/Trump practice of White grievance politics is just one Republican ideological option. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Ronald Reagan reorganized the GOP message around the principle of economic opportunity, arguing for the moral achievements of democratic capitalism. Reagan disciples such as Jack Kemp turned a message of economic empowerment into an instrument of outreach.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, George W. Bush attempted to reconstitute the Republican message around the theme of community. Since human beings are shaped in the context of social institutions — such as families, neighborhoods and charitable organizations — compassionate conservatives sought ways to strengthen civil society.

These are the three elements of the modern Republican ideological triad: identity, opportunity and community. Contending that the last two are discredited or irrelevant is a ploy by Trump supporters and Trump’s liberal opponents to reduce Republican ideology to identity alone.

The appeal of opportunity is never spent because it is the economic expression of human creativity and institution building. The appeal of civil society is never finally exhausted because it emerges from our need for belonging and love. You might as well declare that the human kidney or liver is outdated.

The Trump occupation of the GOP is an intellectual and moral disaster. But there are paths of intellectual recovery beyond the ruins."
