Jus' ya know about tomorrow...
I will not be posting anything related
to the attacks on 9/11...
We will be bombarded seventeen ways to Saturday with saturation coverage of the anniversary. The day is very special to me - having watched it in person from the Jersey shore. I had friend who worked for Cantor who did not survive the attack. I think I'll leave it to others to tell the stories, if that's okay with you. I'm sure I can find something else for us to see and read about.

What season is it, anyway. If summer's over, is it something else?
Well, depending on where you live, right now is the
absolute peak of Hurricane season...
Today, September 10, marks the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, according to data from NOAA. September 10 is historically the most active single day for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30.The remaining risk is still very high. Roughly 60% of all seasonal storm activity happens after this peak date. Up to now, it's been unusual quiet. Despite reaching the statistical peak, the tropics have remained unusually calm due to factors like dry air and wind shear.
And if we get to Saturday (12 September) without one - highly likely - it will be the latest we've gotten without an Atlantic hurricane during the "satellite era" (which started in the 1960s).
What if we have zero Atlantic hurricanes this year? It will be the first time since 1914.
The activity of the 2026 season is a striking contrast to several active hurricane seasons in recent years. Through September 10, 2024 had six tropical storms and four hurricanes, while 2023 had 12 tropical storms and three hurricanes. The extremely active 2020 season had already produced 17 tropical storms and six hurricanes by this date. In 2017, the Atlantic had 12 tropical storms and six hurricanes, including Hurricane Irma.

It's about time these fellow muzzies joined in the fight...
Pakistan gave notice to Iran the day after Houthi insurgents launched drone and missile attacks against four cities in Saudi Arabia, damaging oil infrastructure and wounding dozens of civilians. Saudi forces, working with the internationally-recognized government of Yemen, responded with airstrikes and ground action against the Houthis, who captured Yemen’s capital city of Sanaa and much other territory in 2014.
It is time for these guys in that region to pick up the slack. They all know Iran's behind most of the bad guys over there, and yet we're the ones trying to shut them down? Trump had the balls and the will to start this fight - now it'd be nice if their neighbors would finish it. Juss' sayin'...
Under $ 10.00 - very reasonable. I own two.
Good evening, ladies and germs...
It appears we are (well, I am) back on track and functioning
normally. Normal, of course, being relative...

I found a work-around, but it's tedious - to say the least...
I figured out a way to get static photos to post,
but it's gonna be a pain in my ass...
I can cross-load stuff from my Blogger history, because that's all stored online, but the only way I can get something from an online source is to copy and save it, and then post it to my Facebook or X page. When it posts, I can copy/paste the photo here using the interface.
I figure this all started when my Chrome updated on Monday. Hopefully Google, who owns both Chrome and Blogspot - this platform - will discover the problem and make a fix. Otherwise, my blogging time will be much, much longer. I hope it doesn't effect the product too much. Wait and see. I've heard similar complaints from other bloggers already...
Still tryin', but AI'll probably kill us all before I find a solution...
Warnings against artificial intelligence going rogue and leading to a disastrous outcome for humanity have grown louder throughout 2026. Alarm bells are even being rung by those helming the technology, including OpenAI boss Sam Altman and Anthropic honcho Dario Amodei.
This week a researcher who has worked at both those companies, Jacob Coxon, said he quit Anthropic to warn “AI can kill us all by the end of the decade… These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.”
Well, isn't that the good news we've all been waiting for...

I've mentioned the town of Glenties in Ireland more than a few times here. Anyway, pre-COVID, Glenties had five bookmakers on their Main Street, along with a total ofeleven pubs and restaurants. This pic was taken in the bar of the Highlands Hotel at the head of Main Street. That's me and TJ picking ponies between races. We'd pick a horse, go next door to the bookmaker and place the bet, go back in to the bar and watch the race on the Telly. Bookmaking is 100% legal in the UK.
PS: COVID killed (closed) six small pubs and all of the bookmakers in Glenties. They're gone and probably never will come back.

As if to say 'I'll make them an offer they can't refuse', President Trump headlined the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention Wednesday night, boasting about his record and offering every American $5,000 if Republicans hold control of Congress in the Nov. 3 election.Trump implored listeners to “pretend that I’m on the ballot” so he can “finish the job” - presenting a stark choice between “radical left communists” and a continuation of his populist agenda. The president offered Americans a major financial incentive to stick with him in what he called the “best part” of his energetic barnstorming-style 107-minute speech.
"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our tremendous economic success… I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump said.
That is incredibly distressing to me. Honest to God I think I've lost faith in him. He cannot buy my vote with cash. No one can. What the fuck is he thinking saying shit like that? God that's distressing...

Four out of five people who bought into Hunter Biden’s new meme coin saw their investments go up in smoke during the cryptocurrency’s spectacular launch-day collapse on Wednesday.
One mystery trader turned a roughly $250,000 bet into $1.18 million within minutes. An individual trading under a pseudonym spent about $250,000 to acquire 9,124 of Biden’s $LAPTOP tokens before unloading 8,480 of them minutes later for about $1.18 million, according a blockchain analysis by Datavault AI. That amounted to a gain of roughly $930,000 before transaction costs.

The mastermind of 9/11 - Osama Bin whatsits - has been dead for 15 years, killed by US special forces after a decade-long manhunt. But as the 25th anniversary of the atrocity is marked tomorrow, experts warn Osama bin Laden’s terror network is now more capable than it was before the Twin Towers fell, with Britain firmly in its sights.
Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in 2011, while successive strikes wiped out his successor Ayman Al-Zawihiri and much of the organisation’s senior command. Yet al-Qaeda survived and quietly rebuilt.
It now has thousands of fighters, new training camps and wealthy branches spread across Africa, Afghanistan and the Middle East. Its extremists have weaponised drones and begun exploiting artificial intelligence, while one branch is feared to be researching weapons of mass destruction.
At the same time Chris Phillips, the former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, believes the UK is now an easier target than it was in the years after 9/11. He said: “Britain is an easier target now. You attack what you can get access to and we remain a major Western target.
