I'm a big fan of "talking pet" videos with the sound buttons. Curious, but even a tiny starter kit is expensive. But in Goodwill I found a set of 8 knock-off buttons for under $10! The experiment begins! She's very curious, but the "push button with paw" […]

He made a joke on his theater’s marquee, then he says Amazon pulled the ‘Melania’ movie
A Lake Oswego theater known for provocative movie marquees may now be on Amazon's blacklist after higher-ups objected to their marketing approach.

A movie called "Weekend at the White House." Trump dies just before midterms, and his toadies prop up his bloated corpse to carry things through. The masses eat it up and he's bigger than ever, but the Grok AI rigged to give his rally speeches goes rogue and orders all the toadies executed or […]

Alex Pretti was the literal embodiment of the proverbial "good man with a gun." You see where that got him under trump. Where's the NRA? Where are shouts the Second Amendment people? This is no time for hypocrisy. But that's mostly what we're seeing. I wish I could be surprised.

Okay, NRA, it's finally time. This is how you've justified your entire, sorry, bloody existence. Stand up and I'll reluctantly stand with you.

Sorry, ElenaRosePhotography503. I'm picky about who gets to follow me, and while I don't mind when small business people try to sell their wares (hey, that's me sometimes), pretty much your whole post stream looks like an ad. In other words, a person with a business is […]

Hi, Michael @dmmcf1. I appreciate the follow request, but I like to see some more posting history or proof-of-life before authorizing followers, especially new accounts. I'm just picky that way, and don't want to feed the bots or the trolls. Check back when you're more real looking.

Another clueless tech law from somebody that apparently doesn't know crap about tech. 3D printers at the low end are dumb, low-tech gadgets easily made from common parts, available software, and lacking even the most basic intelligence that could broadly recognize a gun or gun part.

During my break from work, I’ve given thought to what my future career looks like. If I were to change careers, I don’t know what I would change to—code is my life. But I am increasingly disheartened by our industry, and I can’t stomach much more AI.
