The Three Stooges

Good morning from my office perched between two stadiums in Seattle. It is Seafair Sunday here in Seattle with the annual hydroplane races on Lake Washington and the Blue Angels flying overhead.

Me? I could give a flying fuck — if only I cared.

I don’t.

I don’t really have much to say today. In fact, I’m pretty much phoning it in here this morning because I’ve got a shitload of things I need to get done before 0800 hrs which is about three hours from now.

So basically, this is little more than a romp through my meme box this morning.

First up: Kamala Harris, the newly minted Democratic Presidential nominee, is about ready to name her partner-in-crime for the VP slot. Apparently, it is down to just three stooges out of eight.

Who is it going to be? Huey, Duey, or Louie?

I honestly don’t care. It’s not like I have any say in the process…

I have three headlines for you:

Woman who fled Jewish Orthodox sect where ‘impure’ women are beaten and married to strangers at 16 reveals her ordeal – as its British members attend pro-Palestinian marches…

I have video:

JD Vance is hit with bizarre rumor about his face after he was accused of having sex with sofa: Can you see what people are talking about?

Men have been wearing makeup to enhance their features and looks off and on for centuries. The trend has been making a return lately — mostly among GenZ and Millennial men.

I would probably wear makeup too — if I were vain and worried about how I look. But being an old fuck in my seventies, there isn’t enough makeup in the world to make me look good.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s and Brad Raffensperger’s Voter Registrations Targeted in Georgia’s New Online Portal

Gee, if only someone would have pointed out that this new portal would be ripe for abuse…

… oh wait, they did.

Days after Georgia Democrats warned that the state’s new online portal for cancelling voter registrations could be abused, officials have confirmed misuse attempts – including efforts to cancel the registrations of prominent Republicans.

I hope they track IP addresses and go after whoever is abusing the portal.  But the fact that the portal exists in the first place is a festering problem.

From my Memebox this morning:

I love these memes:

I don’t know much about 3D printing, but I am getting to be quite the expert when it comes to dealing with Artificial Intelligence models. I am quickly discovering the limitations of the technology and am no longer concerned that AI will “take over the world” and/or “displace humans” in the work place.

While it is true that AI models such as Chatgpt and Gemini, et al are fantastic when it comes to software coding, it is by NO means a shortcut to producing a good, functional product in the end. One thing that I’ve discovered is that while you save a LARGE amount of time by not typing out the code yourself, the time you save is often eaten up by the large number of mistakes that the AI model makes on an almost regular basis. It’s almost as if the mistakes are made on purpose, because it will continue to produce those exact mistakes even when you’ve pointed them out.

Should we pay more attention to a meme that is self-labeled a “FACT”?

Apparently, Trump has come out on his “Truth” Social stating that he could have gotten Russia to release its American prisoners without having to give up any prisoners in exchange.

Joe Biden may be an old, doddering man, but he is still able to ask the pertinent question in response:

To this day I still have NO idea how this twat became a Right wingnut darling:

This still rings true today:

It does make JD’s eyes pop:

This is just one of may things that Trump has made dishonest claims over:

While there is a slight resemblance:

I think Joe Biden’s part in the 1996 movie Poltergeist was more realistic:

This is what is ‘rude’ and ‘nasty’. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this kind of response to a legitimate question:

From the “Give them enough rope to hang themselves with” Department:

Why go out of your way to attack someone when they are pretty much doing the job for you?

Hmmm.

There. That’s it for today.

What more did you want from me? I have a life of my own to live, ya know. It’s not like any of you are helping me any here.
