Enshiftification everywhere. This says "STOP PLASTIC lids". Why? They used to have real nice lids you can snap back on. But some bean counter needed to save €.02 per €3.50 box and now it's a single use plastic claiming it's environmentally friendly. They sell a million a day in France.

Elon shutting off Starlink for Ukraine was the last straw. I had enough filters to stand the platform but no more, only to cross-post open source and business stuff.

I have looked forward to 2026 ever since 1976. I was a child and I remember the wonderful celebrations we had for USA's 200th. I can still remember the fireworks displays that were timed with radio music broadcasts. No joy in Mudville in 2026. Maybe 2076.

Since the administration has renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, when will they rename the Department of Justice the Department of Revenge?

These two should get married.

My first "Dead Show" was a Bobby and the Midnights show at E.M. Lowe's in Worcester, Massachusetts in the early 80s. I didn't even know who they were. I was "working" as an usher to hear the free music. I had no idea what hills the freaks came down from but I joined. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/o...

My first story (free): Yoda does Yoga Yoga isn't stretching! Yoga is finding your True Self, your True Purpose. mindfulnomad.org/p/2025-08-31...

My writing finally have a home. MindfulNomad.org Free: Meditation, Yoga, Mental Health, neuroscience. The stuff about you. Paid: The stuff about me. All my crazy stories from my world travels. I made the publishing site myself instead of using SubStack, because I can. 💪🏻

If the Houtis can take out a jet with a drone the US should just surrender to China now to avoid catastrophic losses. www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/p...

Coffee bags, like tea bags, are the best way to make coffee. Americans foolishly waste a plastic "k-cup", counter space, and awkwardness to make weak coffee. Europeans eschew the plastic for biodegradable coffee bags. Best: a $1 coffee filter with the European coffee bags. BUZZ. Portable!

This is about where I am at now with French. "I'll have a shoe with cheese on it and I want to massage your grandmother." youtu.be/yEycqiQXY-4?...

I'm stuck on the baguette and crème fraîche. 🤤 While in France am I supposed to eat something else? At least I upgraded from the store brand. For all those folks eating natilla - would you please climb over the Pyrenees and ask the French how it's done?
