The Worst People in the World

Our high today is predicted to be in the low 90s (F) with the sun blasting down from a cloudless sky.  Since I work, I don't really care, but I know there are plenty of sun bunnies out there who will be celebrating.  If the long range forecast is correct, our daily highs for the next 2 weeks will cruising along in the high 80s (F) to low 90s (F).  This is fine with me.  Our transition into summer is almost complete.

Yesterday was another day in which many things were accomplished.  Most importantly, I cut the dead branches out of the river birch tree at the side of my house.  Every time we have a windy day a number of them fall down.  Howie loves this.  He'll run around the yard with a 4 foot stick in his mouth.  I don't want him chewing them up, so now they're gone.  I don't think he'll be very unhappy.  He's a dog.  His retention span is on par with that of a 2 year-old.  

As I said, work is on my schedule for this afternoon.  Will it be busy?  I have no idea.  We are heading into vacation weather, so I guess we shall see.

When I go to the movies, it's always at the AMC in Camp Hill.  It's a 12 minute drive.  Occasionally AMC will send me surveys to fill out and, as a token of gratitude, they give me a coupon for free popcorn.  The last time I filled one out there was no coupon.  I was emailed a link for a survey because I went to see Backrooms.  When I clicked on it, I was informed that I'd already filled out that survey.  I guess the cost of popcorn must have, like every other price we're dealing with, gone up.

Since I was busy most of yesterday, did I mention I did finally get my haircut? I didn't have much time for looking at social media.  However, on one of the times I did take a little scroll this popped up in my feed.

As someone said, Orangie needed to make a mandatory appearance to prove that he was still alive and he wasted everybody's time by showing how big the reflecting pool would be if it was stood on end.  Oh, my God, what simpleton would be impressed to find out that the pool, if standing vertically, would be taller than the tallest skyscraper.  Pardon my language, but Holy Shit!  What yaya brain thought this was a good way to get him in front of the cameras?  I listened to a snippet and as many others pointed out, he sounded hoarse and tired.  And as someone else pointed out, he sat through the entire Q&A feeding speculation that he has problems standing.

You have to wonder whether what's going on is actually coming from him, or from the allies he's surrounded himself with, like Stevie Miller, and Todd Blanche?  He has surrounded himself with soulless people who celebrate their own evil.  They are truly the worst people in the world.

Backrooms

When I got up this morning, our temp was 54 (F).  That was 2 and a half hours ago and it's already up to 62 (F).  The low to mid 80s (F) are where we will be at some time this afternoon.  No rain.  In fact, the skies are supposed to be fairly cloud free for the next few days.  The heat is returning, with our daily highs being in the low 90s (F).  It's difficult to believe that summer is only 3 weeks away.

Yesterday was busy.  My car passed the yearly state inspection.  Since it's new, I would have been truly shocked if there would have been any problems.  Many household chores were completed.  I stopped by the store and bought another tomato cage, which I'm using on the cucumber plant, and while I was there I picked up an eggplant seedling.  The only thing I didn't get accomplished was getting my haircut.  I stopped in and the wait was over an hour.  Need I say anything more?

In the afternoon, I got too a bicycle ride in Ireland.  Nice.

I also went to see Backrooms.  I liked it.  The film is classified as horror and there are a few jump scares, but overall I'd say it was more tension driven.  This is because you don't know what in Hell is going on.  Backrooms is not for everybody.  Two women sitting in front of us left about 3/4 of the way through the movie.  I understand it does make some people feel very uncomfortable.  There is a lot of lore online about the Backrooms, I looked at it afterwards and the history of company Async and what they've done helps.  Backrooms is not undiscovered country, in fact I immediately picked up parallels with the SciFi classic Forbidden Planet, where the long extinct Krell built a giant machine to explore the Id.  

So, there were elections for midterm candidates yesterday.  Truthfully, there were no surprises... well, except for one.  Orangie's endorsed candidate for governor in Iowa lost.  This is a first for Orangie in the primaries, and I don't doubt repercussions are happening in his administration.

And right now people are beginning to wonder just where Orangie is.  The last time he was seen in public was at a Cabinet Meeting on May 27, that was before his visit to Walter Reed for his 3rd physical since stupid voters put him back into the White House.  As for the nightly shit posting on Truth Social that he's getting credit for?  Is it actually him?

CBS is dead.  I suspect that the Ellisons, the billionaire father and son duo who bought the network, thought they'd be able to turn it into Fox New Lite quietly.  Now they know that ain't gonna happen.  This is just one more example of how billionaires are simply unable to read the room.  They have this belief that, like the kings of old, the people will simply bow down to them  and allow to be put into servitude.  They simply refuse to believe that being wealthy does not make them special.  History is littered with the bodies of so many who believed exactly the same thing.  I wonder if the Ellisons ever took into consideration just how much hate their takeover was going to generate.  Probably not.  After all, they are billionaires.
