NEWS not unexpected given that it is Musks – or is its Groks (which is Robert Heinleins verb from A Stranger in a Strange Land) – platform  News everyone in America and around the world ought to know

“Last week a new feature on X that permitted users to see where accounts originate revealed that a number of high-engagement MAGA accounts that claim to be those of patriotic Americans are in fact from Russia, Eastern Europe, India, Nigeria, Thailand, and Bangladesh. Since X pays certain content creators for tweets that drive engagement, posters from other countries have a financial incentive to post material that feeds the anger of American users and thus will get reposted.”

near the foot of the basement steps he pulled short

                                                     For cryin’ out loud.  What the hell’s that?

Wha looked around the walkout basement

some men dropped coin redecorated fashioned a mans cave

save for his computer stereo he hadnt a flat screen television gaming apparatus

the four walls sported low bookcases  above them art posters front pages of newspapers

                                                                                               Whereya lookin

pointed to the backseat of a car  a Mexican blanket thrown over it   had toss pillows

                                                                                                     That.

I think its pretty selfexplanatory

The backseat of a car.

Nifty loveseat doncha think

    Ifya say.

Try it

he walked over  sat down

                                   Well that's something, I apologize.  It’s really comfortable.

Ja  I havent sat in another like itnot like they were ever intended to be comfortable for adults but Ford engineers knocked it out of the park

Where did you get it?

Friends  Theirhis wifes grandparents needed a car to putz around town  Groceries visits doctor appointments

I talked with them asked their grandparents if I coud buy it

They said they hadnt any intentions of shuttling people around

                                                                    The vehicle was meant as a convenience

Their granddaughter had been very generous takinem here an there

    Fact is one eveningmonths before my car went long at the shop  I had a date   Had a crazy thought

I asked if I could borrow their car

                                     Was crazy

Not only asking friends to borrow their car  But my date                                

Unknown to me she was sexually daring  a real enthusiast  Supple

                                                                          Happened I pushed the right buttons

Sex in the backseat

                         Got to tellya  

Never had sex in such a comfortable backseat

                                                  We were all over it

Was fantastic

 

 Musing?                      

Ja   I am

 

So when they mentioned they were going to give the car away I asked if I could buy the backseat

Despite thinking it odd they asked the grandparents

They laughed

                 Like we’re going to use it.  unknowingly  crushed it

I said Id replace it

They declined  Asked instead we fix crates behind the benchseat to hold groceries  odds an ends

    You said a Ford?

Ja

The year, the make?

No idea wha year was an older car

                                       A Taurus

Taurus.

 

    Got to tellya

                     We tore it up  it tore us up

I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry. . . . If you are asking why I did not stand up to them when I was given the orders, I will have to say that I was a 2nd lieutenant getting orders from my commander and I followed them—foolishly, I guess.”

Hegseth will face his own ordeal unless felon pardons him  can a murderer be pardoned

tickled the shit out of him

he had taken a quote from Hofstadters Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by asshole evangelist Graham which began [In the place of the Bible] and he wondered why the parentheses were [  ]  and not (  )  squared versus rounded  and if there was a significant difference between them or simply stylistic of no matter

       Methinks he thought

he may have stumped Googles Gemini program

he queried what is the difference between [  ]  and  (  )

his reply if one wants to hazard that it is a reply was

                                                  “The difference depends on the context: "and" is a formal word, while "&" is its informal symbol, with "&" often used in business names but avoided in formal writing. "\"" (double quotes) and "'" (single quotes) differ in usage, with double quotes for direct quotes and single quotes for quotes within quotes (though usage can vary by English dialect). In coding, a backtick (` `) is a separate character from a single quote (') and is used for different purposes, such as string literals or comments, while a single quote is used for a single character in some languages.”

and

double quotes

single quotes

he noticed the double quotes and single quotes were contained by the parentheses (  ) and not [  ] 

just like a politician

had the cunt read her email she wouldnt be approaching her now

cunt should have approached her earlier

                                            thought to herself  Use your words

when she was little her older sister translated what she said to their parents

                                                                                   translated

they bought into it  brieflyhumoured  then realised if they didnt punt their older daughter  have her cease translating  she wasnt going to use her words

she remembered it exercised her

it was so easy when her sister said instead

lesson learned

                   now

when adults her father said adolts cant open their mouths and speak she had little patience though wasnt as rude as her father who aggressively pushed his point    Aries  what more could anyone expect from him

the cunt passive aggressive asked  What now?

    Now?

              You read my email?

What email?

I’m not wasting my breath. Read it.

I don’t think I like your tone.

All the more reason to read it cunt.

                                      Questions?   I’ll be at my desk.
