Once apon a time Chef, Day trader, and Meat Cutter, I make a hell of a sausage. I have a good core, and I know right from wrong. I'm not God, and the second half is really important. Eye of the storm in a mosh pit is my happy place.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I had a CEO at a company I worked for famously say, "as soon as we can teach the monkeys to stop throwing their feces at the customers, we can get ride of our labor cost." Getting ride of labor cost has always been the goal, fewer people to share the spoils with.

Dunno, but this feels like one of those headlines from 2006 we were all looking back at in 2009 -- "Wall Street celebrates new ways or reducing mortgage risk" or the like. "Meta unveiled a plan to raise up to $95 billion in waves of stock offering." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

What they all miss is that if they get ride of all labor, who the fuck will have money to buy their products? This is something Henry Ford(horribly racist man, but that's another thread) understood, he paid his workers enough to be able to afford the cars they made.

I got a Ferrari tattoo in Milano, the tattoo parlor did not have a Ferrari emblem on file. They took a photo copy of my flag and reduced it down.

Digital Brain@yourdigitalbrain.bsky.social

Ferrari's prancing horse started as a WWI pilot's emblem, and the yellow honors Modena. Painting the shield by hand takes layer after layer, with each color drying before the next.

Ten years ago I didn't have to train for a vacation, walks, some sit-ups, maybe a few push-ups. Shave a taint was about the extent of it.

There were few things as special as getting a Black Throated Wind.

Grateful Dead Lyrics Bot@deadlyrics.bsky.social

The black throated wind keeps on pouring in With its words of a life where nothing is new Ah, Mother American Night, I'm lost from the light Oh I'm drowning in you

The cool kids create something useful people need, then conservatives buy it, use it for evil, and wonder why everyone left.

@skateintraffic.bsky.social #Skate in traffic, to be seen or not to be seen? Personally when I'm #skating in traffic I don't want drivers to see me. If they don't know I am there, I can predict what they will do. As soon as they see me on a board in traffic, all bets are off.

Shake Down Street

Grateful Dead Lyrics Bot@deadlyrics.bsky.social

You tell me this town ain't got no heart Well, well, well, you can never tell The sunny side of the street is dark Well, well, well, you can never tell Maybe that's 'cause it's midnight And the dark of the moon besides Maybe the dark is from your eyes You know you got such dark eyes

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The white evangelical Christian is the problem in this Country. Maybe we deport them, as they don't believe in freedom of religion.
