No matter what...

No matter what Trump does, they're against it, right? You've seen the memes 'If Trump cured cancer, blah, blah...' I'm hard pressed to see what it is that any of them do - on either side of the aisle. One spends all their time attacking the President, and the other side defending. What else do they do in their high-paying, otherwise meaningless jobs? Inquiring minds want to know...

Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, has warned rye drinkers they will need to “stock up” if they want to keep consuming Crown Royal, as he promised to make good on plans to banish the Canadian whisky brand from his province. Ford has since September been locked in a simmering feud over tariffs and economic nationalism with the multinational spirits maker Diageo. This week, he renewed his threats to wield the power of the province’s liquor control board – one of the largest buyers of alcohol in the world – to banish Crown Royal. “You’d better stock up there, buddy,” Ford told reporters, adding he was “100%” committed to removing the spirits from liquor store shelves.
In September, Ford ceremoniously dumped a bottle of Crown Royal when Diageo announced plans to shutter its plant in Ontario and move its operations to the US, with the loss of roughly 200 jobs.

Yeah - and the Redskins, and Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and all the other products and places that got their names changed because a buncha fuckin' pussies pissed and moaned about words they thought were 'offensive' some how. How about we just buck the fuck up and realize we won't let a bunch of overly-sensitized Marys run our world? Juss' sayin'...

The bottom line reads 'Eggs and dairy are a product of the abuse of females.' Yes, the people that think like that live amongst us, and may be as close as a next door neighbor. Think about that when you're backing out of your driveway...

Here's another one for the FAFO files. Just brilliant...

Hilton Hotels and Resorts removed an independently owned hotel from its system on Tuesday, a day after the Department of Homeland Security posted that it canceled reservations for immigration agents carrying out a deportation surge in Minneapolis.
Both Hilton and Everpeak Hospitality, the company overseeing the Hampton Inn-branded hotel, stated Monday that the matter had been addressed and that immigration agents would not be turned away over their work.

There is no Artificial Intelligence in space, is there? Think again...

This is straight from the source - NASA. Google, SpaceX, and a host of technology leaders are pursuing an ambitious vision to establish data centers in orbit, aiming to solve artificial intelligence's insatiable appetite for energy while sidestepping earthbound constraints.
Google announced Project Suncatcher in November, with plans to launch two prototype satellites in early 2027 that will test AI hardware powered by continuous solar energy. CEO Sundar Pichai told Fox News that building extraterrestrial data centers will be "normal" within a decade. Meanwhile, startup Starcloud made history in December by successfully training an AI model - Google's Gemma - aboard its satellite, marking the first time a large language model operated in space.
SpaceX confirmed in December it is preparing for a possible 2026 initial public offering that could raise more than $30 billion, with proceeds earmarked for "AI data centers in space," according to chief financial officer Bret Johnsen. At an $800 billion valuation, the company is positioning itself as a key player in orbital computing infrastructure. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said space data centers would be "the cheapest way to train AI" within five years.

Somebody yawns and all of a sudden, you are too...

"Contagious yawning may have evolved to synchronize group behavior - yawns often cluster during particular times of day that coincide with transitions and activity. It also may have evolved to increase vigilance within a group. 
The basic rationale is that if yawning is an indicator that one individual is experiencing diminished arousal, then seeing another person yawn might, in turn, increase the observer’s vigilance to compensate for the low vigilance of the yawner. 
The spreading throughout the group of contagious yawns might then increase the vigilance of the entire group." (from Science.com).
Is that scientific enough for you? Maybe you're both just bored...

Who's spying on you now? How about - your grocer...

New signs unveiled at some Wegmans across the Big Apple are warning customers that personally-identifying biometric data, such as facial recognition scans, is being stored while they shop. The signs, posted this month in the grocery stores’ Brooklyn and Manhattan locations and first reported by Gothamist, will be used to “protect the safety and security of our patrons and employees.”
“At Wegmans, the safety of our customers and employees is a top priority. Like many retailers, we use cameras to help identify individuals who pose a risk to our people, customers, or operation,” a rep said. “The system collects facial recognition data and only uses it to identify individuals who have been previously flagged for misconduct.”
 

Nobody has really bitched about 'security cameras', so ya have to wonder what the big sneeze is about this technology. The only people who'd be concerned would be the idiots and ne'er-do-ells, right?

WTF is a 'Boomer ellipse' and why do we keep using them? Here's an answer, I think...

 
One generation's texting habit that baffles every generation is the Boomers' (us old farts) seemingly excessive use of ellipses. Do you have more to say, Uncle Joe, or did you just accidentally press the period key too many times?
Maybe it's for a dramatic pause or to put emphasis on a point? This is truly a mystery that leaves every generation below them confused about what is meant by the dreaded "dot dot dot." 
Texting etiquette differs with every generation. Gen X and most Millennials use fairly proper grammar and punctuation throughout a text message exchange. Every new sentence starts with a capital letter, there are strategically placed Oxford commas to ensure there's little room for misunderstandings, and sentences end with an appropriate punctuation mark. Good for them. There's an article that goes in way too much depth on this subject here. Meanwhile, I'll keep doing what I do until I find a reason not to. 
 Juss' sayin'...

Two things. This seems a bit petty to me, but it is what it is. 
Also, I don't like this Department of War shit. I was perfectly okay with it when it was about Defense. I know I'm pickin' nits and shouldn't get all riled up about a word - that's what the pussy-hat people do - but none the less, why'd they decide it needed to be changed?

There's something in the back of my mind about this whole Maduro thing that's kinda irkin' me. If, in the end, this was just about oil and nothing more, then I will lose all faith in the guy. I'm serious...

WTF is 'Second hand pipe'?

Scrolling around yesterday afternoon on the Post's website, these ads appeared after the story. As a former advertising/marketing guy, I look at this shit and really have to wonder what the fuck these people are thinking when they put these ads together. Are they all trying to appeal to morons? 
Seems so, 'cause you'd have to be half an idiot to click on any one of them - at least that's my take on 'em. Fer instance - 'seven times stronger than Viagra? Does that mean you'd be limping around with a hardon for a week? It's all for click-bait bullshit websites anyway, so...

Greenland’s leader says there’s no room for ‘threats, pressure, and talk of annexation’ after President Donald Trump repeated his calls for the US to take over the Danish territory. 
Greenland 'warned' Trump against any ‘fantasies’ of annexation. Trump’s comments after the US operation in Venezuela is raising concerns that something similar could happen with Greenland. How stupid is that?
