But what’s the solution?
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The Erie Canal was completed 200 years ago today. It was a major achievement for the early US, and for New York in particular. But the canal meant different things to different people, and over time, its significance evolved.

Remember this one?
From 1981, it popped up in my feed, probably due to the #EdGein documentary I watched. So I gave it a shot.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being absolute perfection (i.e, the original 1933 King Kong), I would give this a solid 8. You can watch it free on #Pluto like I did.

According to Google, there are approximately 1.3 million active service members. So each will roughly get 100 bucks. Before taxes that is.

The new Microsoft assistant is a blob named Mico, but you can turn it into everyone’s favorite paper clip.
Hands On Microsoft’s Clippy was an anthropomorphic assistant ahead of his time, offering to help you with your Office 97 tasks when all you could do was type and click in response. Today, as part of a massive Copilot Fall Release, Redmond is bringing Clippy back – at least as an avatar for its new AI helper named “Mico”.…

Used AI to turn myself into a vampire. Turned out pretty good. I am a little disappointed that even with vampire powers, I apparently still have to wear glasses.

This is from the December 28, 1982 edition of the Bismarck Tribune.
Bismarck was the first stop on the Creatures of the Night tour. It was the first show without Ace. And the first show with Vinny Vincent. Historic moment in KISS history. I’ve seen that as a trivia question before. RIP Ace.

This is a tough one. My brother and I bought Hotter than Hell the day it was released. We’d never heard of them. We bought it for the cover. But then we listened to it. Wow. Ace was a huge part of my childhood. #RIPAce

I enjoy watching old horror movies. My favorites are the Hammer films with Lee and Cushing. Anyway, I digress….
Tonight I’m watching a vampire comedy, Fearless Vampire Killers, from 1967.  The humor is a little dated but there are still a couple of hilarious scenes. #SharonTate 😢
