April 1st

Oh shit… it’s April Fools Day. Never have I ever had less interest in playing along with this bullshit. The fascist states of america is already filled to bursting with fools and idiots and pure, unadulterated evil. Why anyone would think fake stories on the internet is entertaining during times like these… I just don’t get it.

Change of subject. The Red Sox are off today. We will be spared the slaughter and the constant strike outs. In five games thus far this season the team has struck out 123644258686134 times with about 86358629357 being Devers alone. Unfortunately, the Bruins are not off tonight. They will be annihilated by the Capitals. Times are tough in Boston sports-land these days. Why not? Times are tough everywhere.

Change of subject again. When was the original Star Trek given the Star Wars Special Edition treatment? After finally getting through Star Trek the Animated Series the other day, I decided to watch the original show all the way through. I’m through the two pilots and up to episode five now. I just watched Sulu take on the bridge with a sword while the Irish guy sings badly over the ship’s PA. I’m a little put off by most, if not all, of the exterior shots of the Enterprise being replaced by CGI. When did that happen? It doesn’t affect the episodes at all, but I still kinda don’t like it. I want my 1960’s models back. I want the pure form of the show back, even if it is less impressive and cheesy looking.

Change of subject again, again. Sticking with television, what is the deal with the month of April? We have the start of new seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale, Andor, The Last of Us, and Doctor Who. We’ll also see the last two episodes of Yellowjackets this month. This feels like collusion. This feels like the television industry conspiring to keep me from sleeping for the foreseeable future.

Again with the change of subjects again, again. I did not participate in the RPM Challenge’s Record Every Month thing. I wanted to. I was going to. I just didn’t. I’m thinking of maybe compensating for my failure by trying to do an April album in a month instead. Write and record 35 minutes worth of new music before the month ends. Will I be able to muster up the motivation? Probably not, but let’s give it a shot, eh?

Okay. Time to go and get ready for work. Welcome to April. Stay away from those damn April Fools jokes. It’s going to be a long and painful day on the ol’ internets. Good luck, everyone.

The Worst Attitude

I think that the worst attitude an american can have right now is apathy. The natural inclination is to look at current events, decide that it’s so far out of our control that there is nothing we can do about it, and then give in to indifference.

I get it. I completely understand the urge to go that route.

But then you read a headline about someone torching a bunch of swasticars in Germany and you start thinking that there is always something you can do to resist the fascists. Even if it’s just sharing news. Maybe you’ll say something that will fall on the right ears and change someone’s mind about the drain we’re currently circling and, who knows… maybe it will make a difference.

  • Luke Skywalker: Look, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now… It’s all such a long way from here.
  • Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: That’s your uncle talking.

We need to stop listening to Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen. We need to spend more time listening to Ben Kenobi. He’s a cool dude. He knows what’s what.

But Her Emails!

For everyone who thought Hillary Clinton should have been severely punished for using a private email server while serving on the Obama Cabinet, allow me to counter with this colossal cluseterfuck…

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

Enjoy.

Parking Lot Worries

I work in a facility that has two buildings and two parking lots with one driveway leading to both. My company is in building two and we have other tenants on a couple of floors in building two and in all of building one.

This morning I was stopped at the stoplight outside of the driveway and I saw something concerning. Someone pulled into the facility in a tesla cybertruck. Apart from questioning the cybertruck owners politics (musk is a nazi) and taste (cyber trucks are the fugliest vehicles on the road) I immediately started to worry about my own car’s safety.

In recent weeks, teslas in general but more specifically cybertrucks (aka swasticars) have been targets for vandalism. Apparently someone even threw molotov cocktails at a tesla dealer in Las Vegas yesterday. While I don’t condone violence of any kind, I have to say that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer nazi billionaire, right? Still… knowing that there is a swasticar parking near where I park my car makes me worried that maybe that swasticar might spontaneously combust and cause damage to other, non-nazi, cars parked nearby? That would be terrible.

I did not see if the tesla went to my building’s parking lot or not. I think it went to the other building. I hope so. I kept my eyes pealed as I searched for a parking spot of my own just to make sure my little Kia wasn’t going to be anywhere near any dangerous swasticars. I am pretty sure my car is safe, but constant vigilance, you know? Stay safe out there.

Pissed Off Sequel Post

This post is a sequel to the pissy political post I put up yesterday. I feel like I am getting exponentially more upset over this topic thanks to social media. My bluesky feed has spent the last few days being bombed with posts discussing how the courts will save us or how the orange shit clown nazi fuck is extra awful for ignoring the courts.

Even the chief justice of the supreme court got into the discussion today in response to the nazi fuck saying basically that judges who rule against him should be impeached.

The chief justice of the same supreme court that ruled the sitting president is immune from prosecution for anything he does while acting as president which basically puts him legally above the law and within his rights to do any psychotic shit that he wishes, including laughing in the face of the courts when they rule against him felt justified to comment about how the courts and the executive branch interact.

Are you fucking kidding me, Roberts? You know, asshole, you had your chance to comment on this discussion not so long ago but instead you decided to let the fucking president become a fucking dictator. Fuck you, Roberts. Fuck you right in your mother fucking eyes.

I am shocked by how clueless so many americans are right now. I am extra shocked to see behavior like this by the man who is in charge of the ACTUAL GOVERNMENT BODY THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Now now, donny, says the chief asshole of the supreme court of the nazi states of america, just because we made it legal for you to declare yourself dictator and do whatever the fuck you please doesn’t mean you should be a big old orange meanie to the poor wittle judges.

Fuck you, Roberts. Fuck you, you nazi fucking fuck.

No One Seems to Get It

Spoiler alert, here comes another political bitch fest. You’ve been warned.

I don’t get why so many people don’t seem to understand this. People are looking to the US courts to keep the orange shit clown from destroying our country. Why? Haven’t these people been paying attention?

The supreme court of the fascist states of america gave the sitting president immunity from all prosecution for any actions taken while in office. That means the sitting president can literally do whatever he wants without any repercussions. Why then do so many people think that a court ruling against him will have any affect? The court says he can’t just deport anyone he pleases? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t rescind birthright citizenship? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t cancel aid payments that congress passed and a previous president signed into law? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling.

The federal government is gone. The supreme court saw to that with the immunity ruling. The constitution of the united states is gone. The supreme court saw that that with the immunity ruling. We are living in a dictatorship now where the president has absolute power and can do whatever psychotic thing he pleases and there is nothing we can legally do about it.

Why are so many americans having such a hard time realizing this? It is as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. It is as clear as an un-muddied lake. It’s like when the trade federation dude asked Darth Sidious if his blockade was legal and Sidious said he’d make it legal. The orange shit clown doesn’t need to make his bullshit legal, the supreme court has already done that for him.

Enjoy your new dictatorship, citizens of the former united states. We’re stuck with it now.

10 Collaborators

10 Democratic senators voted in favor of the fascist party’s spending bill today. That’s 10 fascist collaborators who are due to be primary’d out of existence when their current terms are up*.

Nevada, New York (really???), Illinois, New Hampshire (of course), Maine, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Hawaii all need to start searching for candidates who won’t bend over to the nazis.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer can go eat a bag of moldy dicks. Way to lead, asshole.

Collaborators with the fascists.

Of course this is assuming that there will still be elections when their terms are up. That seems more doubtful with each passing day.

Shill

The only way this could be funnier (and by funnier I mean more insane and insulting and horrible) would have been if numbnutz the orange shit clown bought a swasticar and it caught fire in the white house driveway.That would have been more ridiculous, but only a little bit.

Thanks, Woz

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, had some wonderful things to say about a couple of dirty, disgusting, fascists. Allow me to quote an article from Huffpost, written by Marco Margaritoff…..

While Steve Wozniak has long criticized the personality flaws of his late friend and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, he has far more damning things to say about fellow tech mogul Elon Musk.

The 74-year-old entrepreneur shared his thoughts with CNBC on Tuesday at a tech conference in Spain.

“I don’t know what got into his head,” said Wozniak, referring to the Tesla CEO. “Sometimes you get so rich at these big companies, and you’re on top. It goes to your head, and you’re the most incredible person in the world and the brightest, and you’re gonna dictate what others will do.”

As a “special government employee” heading Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has been dismantling federal agencies with the purported aim of slashing wasteful public spending.

This has led to thousands of federal workers being fired and legal pushback in the courts.

“Bullying is the best way to think of it,” Wozniak told CNBC. “If you’re in school, the bully’s gonna force their way on the little guy. I don’t know, I’ve always favored the little guy over the big guy — and I’ve always favored the consumer of a good over the producer.”

Wozniak had even harsher words for Trump, however.

“There are types of people that you associate with in your life that are good, pleasant, friendly and care about others, care about animals, even,” he told the outlet. “And Trump is not one of them. He’s a disgusting person and has always been and always will be.”

After the Supreme Court thwarted Trump and Musk’s efforts to freeze some $2 billion in foreign aid, Musk urged Republican senators on Capitol Hill to help him find another way to rescind that funding.

Democratic lawmakers resoundingly booed Musk Tuesday evening when Trump thanked him during his address to Congress.

Meanwhile, Wozniak also accused Musk of ruining his electric Tesla vehicles with steadily worsening designs. Wozniak, who invented the Apple I and Apple II computers, owns several Teslas himself.

“Every step up where they changed things in the car, it got worse and worse and worse, and now it is just miserable for user interface,” Wozniak told CNBC. “Coming from Apple, user interface, the way you deal with technology, is the most important thing in the world.”

He concluded, “And Tesla is the worst in the world at that.”

Thanks, Woz. You are the man. Now and forever, you are The Man.

Busy Morning

The work day isn’t even an hour old yet and already my day is insanely busy. What’s up with that?

I haven’t had time, energy, or desire to read about the orange nazi goo’s speech from last night. I’m sure that every word was a lie so who gives a flying fuck what he said. I’m more interested in the Democrat’s reaction, which I am sure was lame and ineffectual. I wish I was being sarcastic, but I am not.

Anyway, here’s a couple of cat pics from earlier this morning to help start your day.
