I don’t have much use for the NY post, but…
LATE UPDATE: Florida Man Makes Announcement
Trumpty Dumpty
Mike Pence: Cocksucking Mutherfucker
Like I’ve been saying all along, that son-of-a-bitch was totally complicit, if not fully participatory. He was just waiting to see if he could collect some book money, like the rest of the rotten parasites infecting the previous administration.

The Real F-22 Development Story
Following this topic closely during that time we were stationed in Germany when the competition winner was announced, I remember being distinctly disappointed the 23 lost out to the 22. It was to me at least, the sleeker, more advanced-looking design.
“The real reason we (Northrop) lost the program was that Lockheed had no new fighter programs at that time…”
The Terrorist News Network
Maj Ojeda (Ret.) tells it like it is.
FAANG’s Comeuppance?
How long will it take for Linkedin, Youtube, TikTok and other social media monstrosities out there to join the implosion? What’s Apple and Amazon’s social media angle? Linkedin might be a legitimate niche, so we’ll see how they fare. Not sure where Youtube sits in the conspiracy/hate/scam game. Dorsey started it and Zuckerboy was quick to jump on the bandwagon. Was the Internet comms revolution really all it’s cracked up to be?
People don’t like being lied to, fooled and taken advantage of. It’s ingrained in politics and Internet business revenue. Meta lays off 11,000 employees.
Amazon 1st company to lose a $Trillion in stock value.
Electronic Election Rigging
Despite Lindell’s claim of cyber monitoring, it looks like the 2022 election cyber threat was nothing new, unusual or even worse than before. My limited POV actually saw a decrease in election meddling. Email bots previously abundant in election season were almost non-existent. Maybe the Russians were too busy with Ukraine.
There were a few high-threat targeted APTs, maybe 10% of the level it was two years ago. We had one significant DOS attack (that I’m aware of) Monday night, but that might have been more football than election-related, for all I know.
JWST Update #16: Manufacturing Tolerances
Looks like JWST might be suffering Ikonitis. It’s the satellite sickness that develops after a less-than-perfect moving part starts degrading in orbital activities. Let’s hope the workaround is viable and the mechanics trivial.
It’s been a couple months since the MIRI anomaly was announced back in September. Hope there’s no Chinese parts in that thing.
John Harold Buckley
The name Buckley became all too well known to me in the summer of 1983, after being stationed at then Buckley Air National Guard Base, Colorado in my first Air Force Assignment. I returned to finish my career there as a Lockheed contractor 30-some years later. It’s still the best place for walking the dogs and the only place I buy liquor – tax free. It was a long, strange trip.
The Trump-Biden Argument
Don’t overlook the fact that the Mango Menace is primarily responsible for the United States falling dead last in the fight against Covid, with millions of unnecessary deaths attributed to political stupidity.
Dorsey the Drama Queen
“I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.”
No – what you did was fail to properly manage a burgeoning new communications paradigm shift to cash in on politics, hate and crime at the expense of common decency.
Fuck you and the binary bullshit you rode in on.
Russian Army Animals
Wars going badly leave few options for their downtrodden purveyors. Russians know themselves better than anyone. The Mobik mass exodus at the start was no surprise.
EMS Gold Standard
Emergency Medical Services certainly weren’t all that well established and organized during the time I was growing up in western Pennsylvania in the 1960s. I remember more than one frantic drive to the ER. 911 wasn’t even a thing, at least not out in the boonies. I imagine that still holds true in many of the more rural and remote parts of the country today.
“At one point, Pittsburgh’s mayor at the time, Robert Flaherty, pushed to get Freedom House defunded, discredited, and shut down. He and others considered the services that Freedom House provided to be un-American.”
The part about this story I found most interesting was how a black-run operation flourished among the bigoted racists abundantly populating the region.
Comparing Resumes
Candidate for senator from Georgia Herschel Walker, recently suggested comparing his resume to Barack Obama’s. Here ya go, courtesy Stephen Colbert:
Here’s What 4 Years of MAGA Gets Ya
I just want to know how we get to a 16-yo riding around on the interstate shooting at people?
