IAman picked up a book at the swim center free-library.
[It] is the short journal of a young woman traversing the Oregon trail with her family 1870s. May to November, 7 months. Striking how matter of fact she is. And how there is an expectation of proper behaviour, even scallywags are tame compared to what we see on TV these days. People acting outside these norms (Indians) are termed savages, and not to be trusted.
Maserati-driving suspects fail to steal catalytic converter in Berkeley, threaten witness with guns by Harry Harris
BERKELEY — Two men driving a Maserati SUV failed to steal a catalytic converter from a vehicle Thursday morning and pointed guns at a man walking his dog before fleeing, police said.
Normally I don't post anything about everyday crime because that's just what it is - everyday kind of bullshit, but this one got my attention. There are more rich people than ever before, and they are richer than ever, and they go through luxury goods like Jackie Chan through an army of thugs. Some, possibly even most, rich people are prudent and take care of their material possessions, but some, especially the nouveau rich, are profligate. They cast off valuable goods as fast they acquire them and when that happens there are scavengers just waiting to swoop in and scarf it up. So, yeah, I can see how a couple of talented thieves could manage to latch onto a Maserati. Doubtful that they will have it for long, longevity is probably not a big concern with people who are looking to make their daily quota on $100 transactions.

Most days I spend some time watching YouTube Shorts. Some are silly, some are entertaining, some are garbage, but ever now and then something very good pops up. I've been trying to figure out how to share them, just in case anybody might be interested. I tried posting them on Twitter for a bit, but I seldom found anything of interest there so eventually I quit going. I do see Twitter posts quoted almost daily somewhere in Feedly. In order to come up with those gems, somebody must be spending a heck of a lot of time on Twitter.
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to about these YouTube Shorts. What I would like would be to just add them to a playlist, but that doesn't seem to be an option unless you are willing to jump through some hoops. So right now I am just going to try embedding links to a few.
The leader is the epitome of the core values of his people. He can flail his arms and scream and shout as much as he likes as long as he protects the core value of his tribe. The core value of his tribe is survival of the tribe. So all this noise about whatever the thing of the day is just that noise. The big question is - is the defense budget going up? As long as the defense budget keeps going up, all is well. Well, as well as can be expected given the annoying noise makers who are running the country these days.
