The News Cycle; this timeline, it's making me crazy.
The "No Kings" protests, these should be on a work-day. the government shuts down, so does the workforce, make the companies pay, that will put the pressure on.
King Trump flying a jet and dumping shit on the protestors and all the AI Billboards are in Russian, ah, the insanity of the times we live in.
The Epstein Files, redacted, non, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Freudian slips of his Merrily Widowed Wife, the Israeli conspiracy, The genocide in Palestine and don’t you dare be Antisemetic, Putin in Ukraine, Targeting Venezuelan “drug boats”, the "double taps"; The “President of Peace” and “Department of War”, the ambassador to Greenland with his mission of “We Come In Peace”, read that in the voice of the children from “Iron Sky”, the promise to invade Greenland, the Christmas calls with his wife - Melania, Zuckerberg, Peter Miller, Peter Thiel, Musk, The Outrage Farms, the consolidation of stupidity and national wealth into a few hands, the lies, denials, threats without end, ICE, Democrats, the complete and utter outrage that is every daily news, judges won’t convict, treason, blackmail, profiteer, Kidnapping of Venezuelan president, the threats towards Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, this is no slight insanity; The premeditated murder of innocent Renee Nicole Good, a calculated move by Trump to invoke the insurrection act, his subsequent argument that it was “self defence” and the officer was in hospital (no, his name was Jonathan E Ross and he was photographed laughing after the ‘hit’ for want of better expression), Kristi Noem, the MAGA counter protesters celebrating the “execution “ of Renee Nicole Good as a blow to the “lib-tards”, the inevitable invasion of Greenland and then Canada, the fact - that had Biden stepped up when Russia started with Ukraine, had he stationed troops along their border for “exercises” along with the NATO troops this would none of it have ever happened. The harping on the Epstein Files, well, at this point for the MAGA folks they just want to Like and Subscribe and watch videos of their beloved orange leader molesting children.
His pardoning of convicted drug traffickers, con men, pardons for sale, to the highest bidder.
This is who they are. You know now, there is nothing so vile they would not endorse.
And his supporters, well, you all know who they are, what they are, and - sorry, it's gotta be done.
His “imitations” of people he doesn’t like, that include Somalians, Mexicans, disabled people, Educated People, the MAGA idiots that support him, Europeans, everyone in fact. He doesn’t like reporters and baits them with “Here Piggy”. He doesn’t love Jesus, doesn’t love his kids or his wife and he sure in the fuck doesn’t like you. And he sure in the hell doesn’t like consequences, but he’s never faced them, has he?
Donald J. Trump doesn’t like you, the Americans, even the ones that didn’t elect him. And I have to wonder, don’t you have something to do? Why are you all on vacation up here? Isn’t there some “Call of Duty”? Shouldn’t millions of you by now be rallying and massing in Washington; tearing down the “New Ballroom”, shouldn’t you be assembling militias and planning to exercise your second amendment rights?
It’s time you know. It’s not going to get any better. Does no one down there have a plan?
I’m glad you’re here, you’re polite, good tippers and all, but you’re making me nervous.
Stephen Miller has a plan. He’s told everyone. So has Donald, and all this posturing is foreshadowing a long decade of war unless you get off your asses and do something. Sure, you’ll occupy Greenland, and be about as well received as the Nazi’s were in Paris. And you’ll occupy Canada with the same success.
What of the military? They’ve been awfully good about obeying illegal orders. Are they so far gone now they’ll fire on their own brothers, sisters, parents?
America, you have a problem, and you Americans, all of you, you’re making me nervous. The whole world in fact. You’re going to invade Cuba, Columbia, Mexico, well - good luck with that, the cartels down there will very quickly show you what war looks like, and hopefully grow their business on your soil.
By the by - how many wars have you won lately? Korea? Vietnam? Was Iraq a win? Afghanistan?
Greenland - by no later than the end of February. Donald Trump needs a war. He’s said it. If there’s an election he will be impeached. He doesn’t want to be impeached.
What can we do? Well, first - we - Canada, and all of NATO - Americans out. Now. If you’re duel-citizen, make the choice. Now. Or leave. 48 hours, all Americans back on American Soil. Freeze all American assets abroad. Boycott American products.
NATO should be meeting and discussing their plan. And Mark Carney should be reaching out to the Governors of California, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota, New York, the “Blue States”. They all joined the Union, they can vote to leave it.
When MAGA finally has what’s theirs it won’t be very much.
But the news, it's making me crazy, the "speculations" on what are clearly premeditated hostile acts towards his own people (if murder is hostile, I don't know anymore we've become so hyper-normalized to this shit) and other countries.
The blase reportage because no-one cares to offend the orange melon.
You argue you're waiting for the elections in November, then you'll show him. But you know - at this pace - there will be no November elections, and if there are it will be the same goons acting as ICE agents protecting the "validity" of the polling stations.
So, hey, can you please hurry things up, get on it; get your shit in a pile and deal with him. And the rest of them as well. If you're uncertain as to how to proceed please watch a few of the Nuremberg trials and realize that every ICE agent; over half the cops and almost all of your politicians and billionaires are worthy candidates.
(I don't credit Trump with any ability to premeditate anything, but I do credit Miller, Thiel, Zuckerberg)

AND Somehow Gap Canada got my gmail address, and I have no clue how. I'm hardly a Gap sort of guy, and I can only guess that somehow they scanned my phone at Yorkdale Mall, but they're sending me 2 and 3 trash mails a day.
This is extra annoying, the Gmail account is reserved for family & friends, Hotmail is for subscriptions I signed up, and Yahoo is for one-off subscriptions that I have no intent of revisiting, only I need a password/subscription to log in and read whatever ...
Anyways, Gap Canada, Fuck Off.

I have to admit, I'm not a fan.
They're still here, around, you see the license plates in the hotel parking lot across the alley. Idaho, Washington, California, etc.
And you get them in the restaurant. Belligerent. A walk in party of 10, no reservation, Friday night, set them up, they won't wait to deal with their server (not me), instead loudly flagging me down whenever I'm close to order a drink or dinner.
I'm a little fed up with this.
Now Nelson, if you know, has a long history with these people, these "Americans", having been settled (re) by them in the 70's, the draft-dodgers, the hippies, and these ones, these are the offshoots come to visit, 1 or 2 generations removed.
They are arrogant, bossy, demanding. And, given current geo-political events, I'm less and less inclined to listen to them.

Provocation; Sunday Morning, an American (??) non-recognized homeless person, walking down Baker St, the centre line, wrapped in an American Flag and spouting rhetoric. About 6 weeks ago, when the Mango's vitriol was spewing full force. Then Yesterday, afternoon, 2 middle aged men, heavyset and goatees, real freedom fighters, walking down Baker in full Camo. It’s not hunting season. No one from town would do this. Fairy? Fine. Camo? Not so much. And this morning, as I’m leaving OSO, someone walks past me, middle-aged decrepit academic type, I say type, clearly he wasn’t, that MAGA Hat he was wearing betrayed him. We should be making these kinds of threats illegal, Like the Germans and the Nazi Swastika, they are by design to intimidate, belittle us, the bullying of the CAMO men trying to intimidate a small vacation town, a belligerent vibe for sure, the MAGA hats, we have our own home-grown idiots to deal with, COSPLAYING tough guys, ICE agents, the "FUCK CARNY" crowd that just can't seem to get it together, the idiots that need a voice, that should be writing columns for the "Calgary Herald", promoting all the cheery benefits annexation will confer.
There is that part of me that suggests a walk out of town, but our gun-in-laws don't agree, don't tally, and this, this would be the incentive they're looking for. But fuck, given their borders why do we have none of our own?

And, more than a little surprised at the outcome of last night's election. The big-orange Idiot did-it, he talked the blacks and latinos into voting for "Make America White Again", he talked women into giving up their reproductive rights, their right to vote (see here), why, he promised all Americans they'd never have to vote again, and I more than half believe him. He talked the Muslims, Palestinians, into voting for Israel and the Ukrainians into voting for Putin, why, well, he's done it. And once they figure it out...
While a part of me wants to believe that there's many a slip twixt cup and lip, and that in the two months before he sips from the cup of victory much can happen, the election of his party only cements into place glaring incompetence, self-serving idiocy and the most reprehensible of personal characteristics and characters. The USA just went to number 2 in the world, next to China, Russia even, and probably a lot lower than that. Certainly if you compare it to countries in the European Union they're all about to take a major plummet in everything, from lifestyle through - well, all of it.
Wait and see. The Orange Menace did nothing for the pandemic, the economy, any of it, he only enriched his family and cronies, and used the position of office to shield him from consequences. This will continue now unabated. Kennedy, the tapeworm-brain-parasite anti-vax conspirator in charge of the Federal Health Agencies, Musk in charge of the "Government Efficiency Commission", I could go on.
Anyways, time to turn off the news, for a much-deserved rest from insanity, news of wars will trickle through, there will be refugees, time now for other things, we'll be paying the price for this, and it would be a great thing if we had a leader strong enough to shut the borders and start looking for other trading partners, better neighbours, but, hell, we're only one election from voting in "No Security Checks Please" Pierre Poilievre, and Alberta's already been there a while. Did you know they just made it legal to trap wolverines? The only endangered species now in Alberta is intelligence...
The world as once we knew it is ending fast, and that is just the symptom.

Just take my word for it, sell them at the Apple shop and buy a PC. If they do Android PC's then do that, fuck Windows too.
Afternoons spent at the Library, following the directions given me by bro. to update the MacBrick Air.
It takes about an hour to download, then another hour to install. You hang on screens for an hour, then it reboots, then again, then again, and you get the: 
This minute remaining, this is the minute alone I want to spend with your wife. This is the same minute the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses need to tell you all about God. This is the minute of your time to answer a few short questions about...
This is the minute Einstein took to come up with his theory of relativity. In other words, it's never a minute, never has been, never will.
Finally, Big Sur, and then it's telling me I need Sonoma, another day, another trip to the library (free Wifi), another hour downloading, installing, perpetually rebooting, then finally, Sonoma, green hills and vineyards of California, only - wait - the screensaver disappears, and the wifi icon has gone dark.
I've just downloaded a shit-pile of new problems. And I'm just about done, this dream of having a single decent working laptop - well, it's maybe just a dream or maybe it's time I got real and swapped my MacBrick Air - take the cash from the local Mac Dealer, and just buy a decent PC. I mean, I have a decent PC as well, only I was hoping to get rid of that too...
Too much technology, all these things that purport to do the same thing - the MacBrick, coming in at an enviable 12 GB OS and 120 GB memory, that would have been enough...
But nope, nope, nope. And this HP Scream, not nearly enough anything, stop motion YouTube and I've never even tried it on Porn.
And the other PC, a Lenovo, a brick as well, too big for this apartment, and given the market for used PC's I might as well donate it and be done with it. 3 computers, not one of them can give me everything I want, and I'm hardly that demanding, I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking women might be easier...
