A complex and random assortment of atoms that somehow manages to be opinionated. Amateur photographer, nature lover, dog lover, mushroom forager. Vanlifer. Invisible being.

Learned a new word today. It's fun to still find new words in retirement! lol This one came up in a puzzle on hats.

I call it "my little poltergeist". It's just an impish spirit thing that hides stuff from me. Usually my keys but even my PANTS sometimes. I swear I don't know any other person who loses their damn clothing in their own living space! Eventually the imp makes the items reappear when it's ready.

Today I lost my keys w/o even getting out of bed. Not making that up. Something is not right with my mind. :-/ Well that was a couple of wasted hours. Destroyed the room searching.

Oh yeah, in the end they were EXACTLY in that spot where they are supposed to be on the desk, out in the open. *sigh*

I have this odd sort of curse on me about keys. I lose them EVERY single day, usually 3-4 times a day. And every time I go into a panic. What's worse, I am a very organized person and keep them in the same place.

Trump won WI by less than 1% in 2024.

Last night, progressive Chris Taylor defeated her GOP-backed opponent by 20 points in the WI Supreme Court race — flipping longtime Republican strongholds and securing a liberal court majority until 2030.

The midterm reckoning is here.

This reminds me of the Blade Runner movie (one of my top faves). The "replicant" (human-like robot) doesn't KNOW it's an artificial lifeform. One scene the cop quizzes the robot about her childhood memories. They are normal & the cop tells her the memories are fake implants to her circuits. :(

The CSR said "I am human. My name is Lisa." That did not convince me. I kept at it at another company & finally the AI admitted it was not a human but it put up a good fight! I do try to give AI a good rating when it does a good job. But I do not like being lied to, and I think we often are. (2/3)

Have you been in CSR chats w/companies & wondered if you've reached a real human or if an AI is responding to your issues? I have that feeling quite often lately. I just ended a chat about car parts with a CSR online that I'm almost sure was AI. I asked directly "are you AI or human?" (1/3)

Every note of this may not be perfect, but this is some FINE music for a nice bike ride on a beautiful afternoon! 😍 I just copied it to my bike player & I didn't want to come back. I could've kept riding for hours. Pedal assist is a wonderful thing for aging folks!

Sorry for all my typos lately. I have dropped my laptop at least five times and somehow it's stil ticking. lol But sometimes my keys are not completely cooperative. I know you guys know what I meant and I don't want to delete/repost. We NEED AN EDIT BUTTON!!!

So...the latest speweing of brain rot from the WH. Will he follow thru on his threats? Who EVER knows really? I'm kinda thinking not. Though he may do some kind of serious damage to a lesser extent. Regardless of what HE does...I want to know if other nations are mobilizing for a RESPONSE to this!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Y'know what's really cute? Dog eyelashes! They're so adorable, esp. when they match the ears! (NOT eyeBROWS. I don't like that on dogs. lol Dogs with "eyebrow points" look rather unnatural to me.)

Reader, you will not be surprised to learn that Christopher Rufo is at the center of yet another manufactured right wing outrage cycle.

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections.

If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE
