Kurt Vonnegut on Armistice Day from Breakfast of Champions (1973)
I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day.

Recently, I haven't been seeing as hardly as many Cybertrucks in real life as I did a year or so ago. They've only been around for two years, and unfortunately, they're still making them. You'd think one would be seeing more of them. I just saw this one in a repair shop.
I guess that explains it.

Recently, the brothers have expressed their support for President Trump. “The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back,” Andrew Tate said on X this month.

Despite what Israel has been doing in Gaza may have met the legal definition of genocide, I never thought it was a good idea to call it genocide. I've always thought Israel's end goal has been ethnic cleansing. Trump is green lighting for that to happen. But now it doesn't sound as bad as genocide.

I was confused recently as to why the Coca-Cola Company was airing a television commercial promoting artificial intelligence. The gist of the ad is, "AI is the future, get on board or get left behind". I did some research, and Coca-Cola has been using AI generated commercials and plans for more.

Rather than the reason Trump gave for delaying the 25% tariff on Mexico, I'm pretty sure his real reason was so that the the price of Superbowl parties didn't have a drastic rise in price, especially nachos. I'm certain he didn't think about that ahead of time.

I notice that the US National Geodetic Survey (NGS) topographic map site isn't working today. This makes sense. If the general public has access to topographic maps, they can see that there is no way for water to flow down from Canada and the Pacific Northwest to Southern California.

Trump is so stupid that he thinks that water flows from the top of a map to the bottom. Every time he talks about how to fix the lack of water in LA, he talks about someplace to the north but on the other side of mountains, from the Bay Area all the way to Canada.

Expert: Trump's 'large faucet' that can divert water from PNW to LA doesn't exist
If it were up to former President Donald Trump, Los Angeles would enjoy “more water than you ever saw” by diverting water from the Columbia River to Southern California, he suggested.

Musk did not give a Nazi salute. He gave the Terran Empire salute from the Star Trek episode where a transporter malfunction sends Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura to a mirror universe where everyone else is an evil version of themselves.
Musk must just be confused as to which universe he's in.

You may say that Musk's Nazi salute exploded claims that he isn't fully fascist. But I say that his awkward hand gesture led to rapid unscheduled disassembly of those claims.

1. On January 9, Elon Musk post on X that he would provide a “free” month of internet access to those impacted by the deadly wildfires,
But missing from Musk's announcement was a costly detail: To claim the free month residents first would have to spend a minimum of $349 on a Starlink hardware kit

Just like today's SpaceX launch, everything Musk does eventually crashes and burns. Including this, the largest battery in the world.

I hope everyone here on Bluesky just blocks the right-wing trolls that are beginning to show up here and doesn't engage with them. I'd hate to see this platform go the way of other social media.

It's been well over a century since a major metropolitan burned. Rural communities have burned, and small areas of cites have, but nothing on the scale that Los Angeles is experiencing now. Modern fire codes and firefighting infrastructure had made that a thing of the past, until now.
