Republicans and Democrats have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, Democrats are where the Republicans were in the 1980s: boring, middle of the road corporatists, friends of banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies. And the right has moved all the way into an insane asylum. We haven’t had a real progressive president since Jimmy Carter and that was 50 years ago.

I’m hoping it’s not just an emulator with spam.

I like how the vehicles match the drivers: the mice driving the cheese mobile, the dog driving the hot dog mobile. etc.

I love the Richard Scarey books. My favorite was. “What Do People Do All Day.”

The book would should things like how electricity is made or how to build a house. It would show all the plumbing, heating and electric, with little arrows to show which way things went. It taught me how to look beneath the surface of things and wonder how and why things worked.

I also recommend NewPipe for Android. It lets you download in multiple formats and shows comments in a mobile format (you can get it through the F-Droid store or from github.)

Youtube isn’t some one of a kind miracle. There’s at least a dozen already-established streaming platforms that would take its place. There are thousands of websites that have no problems hosting gigs and gigs of porn, so it’s not as difficult as people think.

Both parties have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, the Democrats are where the Republicans were in the 1980s: boring corporatists and friends of banks, pharmaceutical and insurance companies.

And the Republicans have moved all the way into an insane asylum.

“Early Stages?” You’ve got AI mining your data. The Lions have already come and gone. The hyenas and other scavengers are picking over the scraps, now.

Yeah, subby. We get it. “Both sides are bad.” But one side is boring corporatists who don’t give a crap and the other side is 100% concentrated evil fascists, authoritarians and religious nutjobs. And while that’s a choice between the lesser of two evils, it’s not a difficult one.

It’s not about the gays vs straights or blacks vs whites or the Romulans vs The Federation. It’s about the billionaires vs everybody else. It’s a class war. It aways has been. And life is never going to improve for most of us until we figure out where the REAL source of our pain comes from. Like George Carlin once said:

“That’s the way the ruling class works in any society. They keep the lower and middle classes fighting with each other so that they . . . the rich . . . can run off with all the f*cking money.”

This is going to be a great year for indie games. (Currently playing, “Techtonica.”)

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of gaffes Biden has made over the last two years.

Trump can’t go a single day without making a fool out of himself.

Another Fox News host sucking up to the Russians.

I don’t know anyone who would accept an HP printer even as a gift. If I got one, I would recreate that scene from “Office Space” and bust it up with a sledgehammer.

But what about the billionaires? Who’s helping them out, huh?

No. It’s money. Money doesn’t buy happiness but it DOES solve 95% of the problems in your life that cause UN-happiness.

The scam involving the fake CFO was only discovered when the employee later checked with the corporation’s head office.

A surprise teleconference resulting in the transfer of $25 million dollars? You can bet your ass I’m going to verify that transaction by calling the CFO on his direct line before any money is sent.

Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?

They’re called “lies.”

It’s propaganda. Cops have a serious image problem in the US so they cynically co-opted an American flag for their cause, figuring that people won’t criticize the FLAG, right? It’s a marketing strategy that only appeals to folks who already have a child-like worship of authority.

This. It’s a typical example of how conservatives are utterly clueless about American symbols. Like how they adopted Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” thinking it’s a patriotic jingle, when the song is completely critical of the USA. Just read the lyrics of the song for God’s sake.

But the only thing Goober Nation hears is “Born in the USA.”
