"The Crimes They Are A-Changin'"

Wherever you're at
And admit that the government's
Too big and fat
And decide now's the right time
To go get a bat
If you wanna go vent your anger
Then you'd better act quick
'Cuz salutin's old hat
And the crimes, they are a-changin' […]

The Drake meme for Mastodon / Fediverse users:

Google /et al/ spend billions of dollars developing AI to (ostensibly) help you tweak your search QUERY, rather than actually improving their *RESULTS!* 😡

So this week has caused me to question the moral turpitude of my fellow compatriots... Not just because of the, uhm, "Elephant" in the Room, so to speak, but we spent the last seven days in the Jamestown / Yorktown / Colonial Williamsburg [Virginia] historic triangle, and while walking around […]

🎶 Holiday Sing-Along! 🎶

Double double, toil and trouble
Fa lala lala, lala la la
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Fa lala lala, lala la la
By the prickling of my thumb
Fa lala, la lala, la la la
Something wicked this way comes
Fa lala lala, lala la la!

Quit posting about Trump's ties to Putin... It only makes the MAGAs think more favorably of Putin!
