Newer Post

 This stuff, where was it? Sometimes I don't remember just exactly where we were. Or where I was. 











The internet has done a great job of empowering village idiots, like the QANON cultists, who would be mere isolated psychos without the power of the net. The internet illustrates how toxic the human brain actually is. Let enough people communicate freely and widely, and see lunacy spread like a viral disease. It's not for nothing that we say of some crap on the net that it has "gone viral".

New Post

 A new post in the land of scams. And rip-offs. There's a scam and a rip-off to meet every human need. 











Not to mention all the goof-balls and nut cases running around loose, descendants of goof-balls and nut cases over several generations, perpetuating goofiness right down to the present day. It could not have been otherwise. That's how it works. Sometimes it's funny but most of the time not. Goofy is OK as long as it's benign. Goofy structures time. And that's very important! Time structuring is at the core of human activity. But maybe we should see it for what it is, and not take it so very seriously.

Cranky!

 But I'm old. My feet are cold. I wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. And so on. The grand things we (in SDS) believed in, back in the day,  are turning out to have been impossible dreams, scuttled by that dismal thing: human nature. 











The human name? The human game? Things to be pissed on, and despised.

Milder And More Sunflowers

 After a few more days of rather high temperatures it looks as though we will enter August with milder weather and some slight rain chances. July is usually our hottest month. I'm happy to be past that. I find it interesting to be living in the early stages of a major extinction event, an extinction event caused by the activity of an "intelligent" species. Not intelligent enough, unfortunately. Smart enough to be dangerous, but not smart enough for long-term survival. If ever a species deserved extinction, it is Homo Sapiens. Colonies on Mars? I think not. Elon Musk is on a fool's errand, and it might even be a scam. Or maybe just a billionaire's self-aggrandizing fantasy. Pouring vast amounts of money down a toilet for the fun of it? "Wheee! See what I can do? Look on and despair!" It's time for more of those sunflowers.










Species come and species go, and sometimes they can't go fast enough!

Some Heat Relief

 Still quite hot but not AS hot, and comfortable mornings, and even a slight rain chance each day, so it is better, and at least a little more normal. 











I have found myself lately feeling somewhat disconnected and remote from life. I like that feeling very much. That's my objective. Nothing could be finer, than NOT to be in Carolina, or in any other easily defined location in time and space.
