It appears I might reach 500 followers while I'm asleep. My first post here was a cat pic, so it seems fitting to greet this event with another. Enjoy

From an essay ABOUT Habermas, not BY him:

You wake up and brace yourself for the barrage of toxic gibberish that constitutes the modern public sphere. Your e-mail is overrun with spam, scams, and smut. There are voice mails from no one about nothing. A glance at the news reveals that the President is continuing to spew lies and obscenities; that a trillionaire is peddling white-supremacist propaganda on a social-media platform he owns; that a chart-topping musical artist is praising Hitler, or apologizing for praising Hitler, or praising Hitler once again. Publications from the Times on down employ clickbait headlines that treat you like a starving rat in a Pavlovian experiment. A.I. systems simulate the experience of talking to an arrogant ten-year-old boy who knows far less than he thinks he does. When pressed, the chatbots admit that they cannot "naturally understand human morality, dignity, culture, or meaning." It all adds up to a continuous discursive tinnitus-a buzz of random, fake, stupid, sinister chatter that nobody wants and nobody can stop.

From my 1994 website as updated in 2005 and killed by the no-longer-free hosting site in 2026.

1994:
Wandering the Web is like reading the graffiti in a public restroom and finding that the For a Good Time numbers direct you to other restrooms; only faster, less smelly, and with better artwork.

2005:
The web has changed a lot since I first uttered that opinion in 1994. Now, you needn't be content with mere graffiti: you can also use the vending machines, read the ads above the urinals, and browse the newspaper that someone left on the floor.

And, occasionally, stop to see something other than a restroom.

Here is the text extracted from the image:

**Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump**

When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women's sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!

President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K's, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list. In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time.

Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!

“Grizzly” had me veering widely around trees and bushes on my paper route for weeks. Worse than “Jaws” because there wasn’t an ocean within 2500 miles.

SF news reporting is always so hilariously provincial. If there's any connection to the Bay Area, it has to be mentioned, no matter how distantly connected to the event.
