@mmiasma My stupid character was named Two-Ton (or "Teuton", I stole that from somewhere). He weighed two tons and shouldn't have been able to walk on most floors, but he was too dumb to know it. He had super strength and would tie his opponents into pretzels. He also admitted to liking pretzels.

@mmiasma My favorite superpower was the ability to point out when things violated the laws of physics, thereby nullifying them. For example "How can you fly without any sort of exhaust or Newtonian counterthrust?"

My second favorite superpower was stupidity. Specifically being too dumb to know […]

Concentration.

Mrs Miasma was not impressed with my choice of super-powers during our discussion about what super-powers we would wish for.

I maintain the ability to concentrate cholesterol in others would be a great super-power.

The potential uses of such a power are left as an exercise to […]

Feeding a rat poison cheese.

According to this Meidas Touch video. President Macron of France arranged a barium meal test (canary trap) for the U.S. by feeding them false intelligence regarding the Ukraine and waiting to see if the information popped up in Moscow. Guess what happened?

It occurs to me that Trumps most enduring effect on the United States will be having those of us that survive him wearing sackcloth and sitting in ashes before the rest of the world long after he's dead.

I have to get it to him, that's some next-level revenge.

For somebody who says he's always fighting for we middle-class Americans, he sure loses a lot.

Maybe we should have picked someone other than Sméagol the orange gollum as our defender and champion.

A healthier, cheaper us.

Do you ever wonder what the price of medical prescriptions would be if pharmaceutical companies stopped all their advertising and commercials and just let doctors prescribe medication as necessary?

I do.

It's true. History sometimes rhymes.

There are two people who have been 'gifted' a Nobel prize from prize winners.

One is the orange moron, the other is ... Joseph Goebbels

Holiday in Hell.

Last night I dreamt that Mrs Miasma and I were vacationing at a Florida resort for old people (like us).

All of the other vacationers kept trying to get us to play volleyball and disco-dance with them. When we refused, we were given subtle but unmistakable signs and messages […]

Perhaps for the sake of story-line consistency they could consider renaming Grok to W.O.P.R?

SkyNet seems like it might be too alarmist.

Cash up front you deadbeat.

Tax season here in America is right around the corner. I was just notified by the guy who does our taxes that the U.S. government will not be accepting personal checks this year.

The irony that my government will no longer accept a promissory note to satisfy my debt […]

A movie recommendation.

It is a profoundly inspiring thing to me when I see someone who has figured out who they are and has made their peace with the world.

If you have never seen the Academy Award-winning documentary "Searching For Sugar Man", I would definitely recommend it. It's more than […]

So, is telling a lie about a lie somehow akin to telling the truth in the Republican MAGA mind?

Anticipation.

Off to volunteer our help for a friend who owns the local bookstore. She needs some bookshelves and their contents moved.

You know you're old when you start taking aspirin in anticipation of the day you're about to have.

I've been reading about what really helped people who had problems with "AI Psychosis" and one tip jumped out at me:

Open a second window and tell it exactly the opposite of each thing you say.

This helps to expose the sycophancy and shatters the illusion of sincerity and humanity.

To our friends in Greenland and Europe:

Letting him get away with outrageous acts and then trying to reason with him hasn't really worked out too well for those of us here in the U.S.

Maybe you should hold him accountable and kick the U.S. out of their Greenland bases as a tangible consequence […]
