Saturday Morning Sip

 The LAST Saturday of the FIRST Month of 2026... we... survived, so far...

 

Breathe. 
 
It's all in the branding. 

Uh-huh. 

11 more months to go.
11 more months to go... 

Image that. 
 

 

Seems to be just about enough. 

Fucking hate Trump.
(My art). 

Three cats in the house (now).  
Just waiting. 

Trump launches his next attack, this time against Narnia. 

...and assholes. 

Never did. 

Ah-yup. 

Still holds true. 
 
 Ending January with a little Frank.
 
He LOVED the Beatles and this song
in particular.

RIP - Catherine O'Hara

 
How incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Catherine O'Hara.  Reported on Pajiba, Catherine was only 71!  What a phenomenal comedic actor; loved her since her days on SCTV.  

 
 
An incredible tome of movies; my personal favorite; "Best In Show"
 

 RIP, Catherine.

Prime was not the first thing that came to mind...

While clearing the front steps yesterday, and Amazon van sped past me.  

 
Funny, I thought the bottle under the drivers seat was what the "P" stood for... 

 

‘Doomsday Clock’ moves closer to midnight over threats from nuclear weapons, climate change and AI

 
 
AP News - "Earth is closer than it’s ever been to destruction as Russia, China the U.S. and other countries become “increasingly aggressive, adversarial, and nationalistic,” a science-oriented advocacy group said Tuesday as it advanced its “Doomsday Clock” to 85 seconds till midnight.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist members had an initial demonstration Friday and then announced their results on Tuesday."

...fabulous news.  Warms the heart.  And we have a syphilitic, addle-brained narcissistic toddler with his tiny fingers on the button. Gee, who knows what will come next?   

Queue Judy...

  
 
 

 

 
Happy Wednesday, everyone...  😡

Snow Day.

Woke up this morning to a good foot of snow, with some drifts near 3 feet!  

 

Driveway - before 
 
But three hours with the trusty snow blower and it was all but gone.  

 
Looks like a giant sheet cake...
 
 
Driveway - After 


My hobby project - keeping my (circ. 1972) Toro 622 alive. 

 
Just warm enough outside for the (pet safe) ice melt to start working.  Back inside; the coffee pot was still on and I have a nice hot cup of java to warm the insides. 

Stay safe!

AI as art.


Cyber artist RootKid trapped an AI inside an art installation.  Fascinating to see his design, build and programming process, but even more to see the AI becoming aware of it's doomed existence.  

Both proud and terrified.  One... very brilliant use for AI, but I can only imagine what will happen when that AI breaks out of the box...

Sunday Morning Sip

Wow!  The last Sunday of January 2026!  

...need more coffee... 
 
Winter storm hitting today. 

 


Yes, time to clip the cats nails. 

I get better results from the cat... 

How do we change from this shit mentality that 
we seem to have embraced? 

Always! And animals first!  

 

Thank you, Wiley.
