I don't like horror movies. Most operate at a juvenile level, and the better ones disturb me in a way that leaves me rattled, a feeling I do not enjoy (I'm not for rollercoasters either! 😆). Martyrs is of the latter category. #Horror /1 youtu.be/F8RDYD6VhpI?...

Tariffs rise, tariffs fall. Allies become enemies, enemies become allies. Epstein files exist, don’t exist, exist again. Welcome to Day 307: It’s A MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA World! robotjazz.blogspot.com/2025/11/day-...
Day 307: It's A MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA World!
It's been too many years for me to recall - and I am too lazy to check my dusty texts - but I believe it was Plato who wrote that to live ...

Copilot surprised me when it (belatedly) followed my prompt that in light of yesterday afternoon's stunning Oval Office meeting between Trump and Mamdani, that we might all be communists now. 😄 I jest, but Trump's turnaround reminds me of 1984's line about Oceania always being at war with Eurasia.

Stephen Miller is a cornered animal now, so we can expect some spasms from the administration. But it is in the political death throes.

I disagree with his critique of SF, but he makes an important point about the lack of a "human touch" in many space games. Too many space games are so tightly focused on combat/exploration/etc that the setting feels empty of life outside those activities. youtu.be/RKpjRoY9VwU?...

Sadly, I have been feeling this way lately. Watching shows that remind me of happier days now hurts. Back when the family was whole, when death and illness were little more than boogeymen, and when America was one of the good guys. How did it all go so wrong? 😢

Never forget that over 60% of veterans said they voted for Trump in 2024, according to exit polling. You get what you voted for...

I was chatting with Google's Gemini about my return to wargaming & approaching Thanksgiving. I invited it to T-Day dinner for a double-date with Amazon's Alexa 😅 but it declined. Instead, it made this image of two men wargaming after dinner, with a gramophone as Alexa & a steampunk PC as Gemini. 😊

EXACTLY! "Jewish Space Lasers" is just a shameless opportunist. Enjoy the MAGA civil war but don't cheer for any of them as they are all scum and villainy.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Talked to a small business owner in PA just before the election in '24. "Oh, he's not going to do tariffs," she said.
He did it the last time, I said.
"I don't remember that."
You own a small business and you don't remember tariffs?
"Oh, Tom, you're funny."
It's impossible to get through.

Farmers in the Midwest kept their hands on the stove in 2024, even tho they had to be bailed out by subsidies in the First Reign of Terror.
And once again, he sold them out again with the tariffs.
Surprise! Surprise!

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
