Today's rant: Miami

If you are acting like you are trying to stop a war, how stupid do you have to be to say "if you don't cease-fire in the next 50 days, then I'm gonna make my importers pay double for what they bring in from your country, and I'm going to pocket all that extra money"?  That's about as ineffective as you can be.

I went to Miami recently, on purpose.  It wasn't by choice.  I had to go on a business trip.  That was a great choice my team made.  "Let's go to Florida in the summer!"  Everyday felt like I was being constantly bombarded by a sauna.  Imagine opening the door of an air conditioned building while walking outside and having a wet fart in your face continuously.

The people there were, as I expected, way much more aesthetically pleasing compared to me.  I just did not fit in.  I was a 2 in a sea of 9s and 10s.  I was like the mutated brown Froot Loop at the bottom of the box.  At least there was plenty of eye candy.  The nightlife is something in Miami.  At least it seemed that way from the outside.  Lots of loud cars and motorcycles and music coming from those cars, even on a Sunday night.

One of the odd things I saw around Miami were billboards and an advertising truck for Theranos.  Apparently, some supporter of the imprisoned lady who scammed billions of out investors for her shitty blood testing device is self-funding an ad campaign to keep her broken company's image afloat.

It also felt a little weird being down there as they were opening Alligator Auschwitz Alcatraz.  One of my teammates at the beginning of the trip said they may drive through the Everglades.  That idea did not age well.

Update August 16:  TACO. No more ceasefire demand.

Today's rant: thoughts and prayers

Happy Independence Day, patriots.  Hope all of you still have all of the fingers you had at the close of July 3rd.  Statistically speaking, someone must have lost a digit or four, but I can still hope.

I am now thoroughly convinced that there are going to be a lot more political assassinations in the United States over the next 3 and a half years.  And if my previous sentence is not redacted by Blogger, I will be pleasantly surprised.  I tried really hard not to condone violence or destruction of property.  I really did.  At the beginning of the year, I told people that I did not condone the destruction of personal property in the wake of Tesla vandalism, while at the same time admitting that I found it hilarious.  A fake profile on Facebook tried to engage me, to which I underscored that their profile had not one photograph of any human being, but were all MAGA animations.  It's either a Russian trying to stir the pot or some poor old retard who is inept at social media and serves as justification for my belief that Facebook should have stayed in the dorm room where it belonged instead of being make publicly available to everyone.

But now, fuck it.  Let the Tesla's burn.  Thoughts and prayers.  I was not sad that a healthcare CEO was shot in the head, and I'm still not.  Thoughts and prayers.  There's a flood in Texas and people are dead.  Thoughts and prayers.  ...What's that, you bible thumping redhats?  Why are you mad?!  Isn't this your mantra?  Fucking thoughts and shitlicking prayers?  It's just like that cunt Joni Ernst said in her town hall:  "Well, we all are going to die.  For heaven's sakes, folks."  But maybe if I think and pray hard enough, all of this wanton destruction and death will retroactively be undone!  Isn't it amazing?  But seriously, the blood and brains are going to spill, and I am going to sit back with popcorn and a beer and watch it all unfold.

I only recognize two BBBs, and the "big beautiful bill" ain't one of them.  Recognize the Better Business Bureau and the Big Burberry Belt, schmuckos.

Today's rant: names

So apparently, it's ok to start giving places and things new names if they feel like it, just because a person doing it claims to have authority.  Fine.  I'll bite.

Mar-a-Lago is now Mar-a-Retard.

Trump Tower is now Rape Tower.

Trump's pronouns are now she/her/hers.

Elon's pronouns are how nazi/nazim/nazis.
