The AK-47

 Boy, is it windy outside.  The temps are fairly mild with the thermometer sitting at 37 (F), but, as I said, we do have gusty weather.  Tonight the temps are predicted to drop as a front moves through and forecasters are calling for basically a smidgen of snow and ice.  I'm not concerned.

I did work yesterday.  Inventory ran late and was just finishing up when I arrived, this was because we had some snow and ice, about the same amount as we're going to get tomorrow.  People will use it as a reason to call off.  I won't.  I don't want to use my personal time unless I have to.  Because of the snow, business was slow, though it did begin to pick up as I was leaving.  And, there was food, though instead of snacks there was fried chicken with salads.  Oh, and lots of cookies.  I love cookies.  I have no idea how good inventory went.  Honestly, I don't really care.

My knew schedule's out.  This is the last week I work over 20 hours.  For the next 3 weeks I'm down to 16 hours a week, only three days.  This is a sign that it's time for me to get back into shape, since I'm going to have all of this time on my hands.  

Since I don't watch TV, there have evidently been a growing number of protests regarding Elonia Musk.  This should have been expected.  In fact, the number of protests is going to grow as Orangie and his boss cut more jobs and spending in order to pay for their big tax cut.  One of the most racists influencers out there is a whiny woman who calls herself Libs of TikTok.  Her whole life is spent inflaming the Cultists, so it's not surprising that she posted this picture.

While Lib the Bimbolina sees this as a way to aggravate the Cultists, most of them don't understand exactly what this picture means:  People are going to start bringing guns.  That's going to piss of the Orange Anus and Elonia since angry people with guns sometimes pull the triggers.  Ouchy.  I told a friend of mine who's a big 2nd amendment supporter that eventually the government was going to begin taking away guns.  I got a LIVID  reaction in Capital Letters.  How will they start trying to confiscate guns?  The 2nd amendment.  You see, the amendment has 2 halves, everyone knows the 2nd half, about the right to bear arms.  No one knows the first half, the part that says "In order to maintain a well regulated militia."  So, I'm thinking that at some point they're going to try and enforce part one, saying that you need to be a member of an official militia group if you want to own a gun.  Of course, that's not going to work.  Just like Project 2025 will only work if they attempt to make America into a Police State.  Unfortunately, we are a country that is armed to the teeth.  For their dream Oligarchy to survive, they need to keep Wall Street intact, unfortunately, no matter what they try and implement, a crash is inevitable.

Decimating Mr. Moose

 Well, here it is Thursday.  How fast this week is flying by.  Weather wise, we went from sunny mildly temp days to cold and rainy.  We did get a layer of sleet and snow over night, but just a glazing.  Right now we have a drizzle, not heavy enough to see, but heavy enough so Howie comes back in the house smelling like a wet dog.  

As I expected, yesterday I didn't do much of anything except play with Howie.  I spent some time on Social Media, mostly Threads and Bluesky.  Because I follow the same people on both apps, there's a lot of repetition. 

My first editor gets The Body on the Lawn today.  I'm excited.

I also get to work today.  While the weather outside is not horrifically shitty, it is crappy, but not crappy enough for me to take a personal day.  Our store's inventory was today.  In the past, supervisors and managers were forced to stay until the initial figures came back, that no longer happens.  Where for me inventory meant a 12 - 14 hour day, it's now completed in around 6 hours.  One reason to go to work today is snacky food.  As I've said many times before, I'm a grazer, and because they bring in snacks, inventory day is a good day to graze.

So far, Howie has gotten three of the four toys I bought for him.  Ropey Fox is a little dirty, but otherwise still healthy.  Wally Whale is fine as well.  However, Mr. Moose has lost both his squeaker and his stuffing.  He has no interest in eating the stuffing, but he does love to leave it lying around.

As expected, the Orange Anus's plans to annex Gaza and deport over 2 million Palestinians crashed and burned badly.  The only ones finding joy in his plan were far right Jews, men and women just like Bibi, whose hearts are filled with hatred as well as an uncontrollable desire to expand Israel.  It could also be that Bibi knows Israel could not win an all-out war with Iran, so what better way to possibly insure victory than get Orangie's ass involved.  For those who don't understand, the mid-east is a cesspool of never ending conflict.  What I find fascinating is that a few days back Orangie made the statement that if anything every happened to him, the United States would obliterate Iran.  Then, a few days later, he comes up with this plan to annex Gaza.  This means that if the Mossad were to quietly take out Orangie the American people might find themselves in a terrible war.  

To be truthful, I don't think war would ever happen, at least not on the scale Bibi might want.  Nope, our real problem is Elonia.  He wants to be the first Emperor of Earth and he has no problem sacrificing half of humanity to get that job.

The DEI Scapegoats

 Well, it's Friday and the skies are overcast.  We've had the drizzles.  We can use the rain.  We had a bit of snow a while back, but a half foot of snow is equivalent to about a quarter of an inch of rain.  The long term forecast has things warming up.  People down south will think that summer has arrived.  They don't understand how hot things will be for them this summer.

Yesterday was a very slow day at work.  Basically, nothing happened.  I did my laps, got my steps in, and watched the shit show on Social Media.  We have inventory next week so most people are focused on that.  Not me.  Though, for the first time in years I'll be scheduled to work on inventory day.  Back when I was involved the process was stressful, management needed to stay until the first inventory figures came back from Atlanta.  This meant a 14 or 15 hour day.  Now, the whole process is complete in about 5 hours, and no one has to wait.  

And I'm playing Skyrim right now.  I've played it many times before.  Skyrim is the Bethesda game that changed the rules on what a Role Playing Game was about.  To give you an idea how popular the game is, it was released in 2011 and is still in the top 10 games being played on PC and console.  If you want to see every aspect of the game, do every quest, go to every cave, dungeon, town, and city, expect to spend at least 235 hours.  

And Trump, the Orange Anus, tried scapegoating minorities yesterday in regard to the air crash that happened in the skies over Washington.  He is the embodiment of Evil.  One thing that made me glad was reporters giving him pushback on his lies.  One reporter named Alexander tried to pin him down, asked for specifics, and that pissed off Orangie from here to Hell and back.  As a result, he signed an executive order placing blame for this crash and for all future crashes on Biden and his push for diversity.  The Washington Post, which has been so catering to him, pointed out that in his first administration he left all hiring standards in place.  This man is spineless.  He will always place the blame on others rather than take any responsibility.  While his MAGA cultists may have approved this, a large majority of Americans found his actions disgusting. 

Adding insult to injury, the new Secretary of Transportation, some reality contestant named Duffy actually said, "It is not standard for aircraft to crash into each other."  Yes, this man is really this stupid, but he is a Trump loyalist and that all that matters to the Orange Anus.
