Good morning from my Hunker-Bunker overlooking the Puget Sound from the Western exposure of West Seattle. The only fire around here is the one currently going in my fireplace. I don’t know if there is currently a ‘burn ban’ going on around here — I don’t really care if there is.
I know one thing: I’m glad I live here than Los Angeles right now. Let me rephrase that: I’m glad I will not live in Los Angeles ever again. Period. End.
My podcast studio is almost finished. I am waiting on one more piece of equipment to show up today, and I will be all set. I literally have a small television studio here now. I could bust out with a live broadcast any moment now…
… except I am still nowhere near ready yet. Obtaining the equipment and setting up the studio is only part of the journey. I still have to get a license and a TIN. My lawyer is taking care of the LLC paperwork as I type this. She’s on my phone, and I’m on hold while she gets some information.
Jimmy Carter is getting his send-off this morning. I heard that Joe Biden is giving the eulogy. I wonder if he remembers Jimmy…
I’m sure there is other news, but I’m really not trying to hear it. What was it that Barbara Bush once said?
“Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”
I’ve got better things to occupy my time and mind on, ain’t none of them include sweating over the news.
So I proclaim today, VIDEO DAY!
But first, Stephen Colbert has an opening for his segment, “Meanwhile”. I have programmed a ChatGPT assistant to randomly create a similar segment opening that I would like to share here:
“Folks, if you watch the show, you know I spend most of my time right over there in the news smithy, hammering the molten stories of the day into the intricate filigree of my monologue—delicate yet powerful, like a Damascus blade of truth. But sometimes, folks, on a day like January 9, 2025, I find myself staring into the flames of the nation’s collective furnace. Across Los Angeles, fires rage in both the hills and the headlines, while the nation mourns the passing of President Jimmy Carter, as a grieving yet occasionally off-script Joe Biden delivers heartfelt tributes that feel like a poignant farewell written in crayon. And from that conflagration of somber chaos, folks, emerges my segment, Meanwhile.”
See? That works.
Remember those PSA movies we watched in junior high?
Boys Beware (1961)
MY TAKE:
I actually remember this very series, and yes, we were subjected to these videos at least once a month in health class back in the 1960s,
The Adventures of Homeless Dakota
Dakota’s Third Phone
MY TAKE:
Dakota is a homeless guy, aged 23. He has been befriended by a couple of guys who take him out and buy him things, and other activities in order to get some pretty funny videos.
Women Shouldn’t Wear Pants
According to Deuteronomy 22:5
MY TAKE:
I don’t know how old this video is, but I suspect that it’s probably made in the past year or so.
I know there are a few of these freaks who would love to create a Christian Taliban here in this country, where women are nothing more than chattel.
The American Healthcare System
Truth in comedy
MY TAKE:
I don’t know about you, but I am still waiting to hear Donald Trump’s Healthcare plan.
The Fires in Los Angeles
Pacific Palisades aftermath
MY TAKE:
I wonder how much more proof y’all are going to need before you start realizing that climate change is real. Before or after YOUR house is burned down, washed or blown away?
Not that it will matter any. We aren’t going to prevent change from happening.
But what we COULD be doing right now is mitigating whatever damages that may occur.
This rings fairly true
Cat owners…
MY TAKE:
…
For Zuck, a rat penis would be an upgrade
No more fact checking
MY TAKE:
FaceCrack is almost unusable now. There is already so much unflagged disinformation on FaceCrack BEFORE the fact-checking is ended. Whatever you do, don’t check out the “Reels” if you don’t want to see soft-core child porn involving young boys.
HEY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO CHECK IT OUT!
In case you didn’t understand the previous video
Another take:
MY TAKE:
MMM OKAY…?
Okay. I’m done here. I’ve got to get this studio finished.
