I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of tripping over the goddam furniture while trying to find my jellyfish rabbit in the middle of the night. My toes have taken such a pounding over the years.
It's about goddam time science caught up with Lovecraft.
I'm not gloating, just pleased--and anyone can do what I've done. I bought 11 air purifiers with HEPA filters. They're the size of a breadbox, but they're effective in that number. It was expensive, since they're about $60 each, which with the meter adds up to $700.
Have a look at this meter--which I know for a fact is accurate, because I took it outside and it immediately showed the exact same metrics for PM2.5 pollutants as the accuweather site.
The meter shows an Air Quality Index of 5, with perfect being 0, and progressing to 19 within the cleanest category. That's in my suite. Outside the air is thick enough to see, smell, and you have to cut it into chunks and eat it instead of breathing it, as the other image shows.
I also did a measure of the air with the AC on, and all the purifiers on as well, and the quality hovered in the low 20s, which is still excellent, and better than most cities.
I'm very pleased with this setup.
Guilty Pleasure movies. not ones like porn parodies, but movies that are objectively bad, but you will stop what you are doing and watch them if they happen to come on. You may even go out of your way to own a copy of said movie. Examples of this would be films like "Bubba Ho-Tep" or "Killer Klowns from Outer Space". I saw one last night to add to the list of really stupid but entirely fun movies. The dialog written for Nicholas Cage is brilliant...

So how the hell did they get an airline industry, or indeed an Air Force to take it over--which comes from a news article I just wasted 15 seconds of my life not giving a shit about? Not that I care. I mean, I see the appeal to leave the place, but Ethiopia's problems rank about 9 trillionth down on my list of concerns about the world--probably many levels below how a salamander wipes its ass, and whether dragonflies need a license to fuck.
Still, it does seem curious, doesn't it? A nation full of people who can't afford a pot to piss in, a win to throw it out of, or even enough food to fill it up in the first place, and somehow they've got an airline industry. Hell, I barely trust the American airline industry anymore, so how predictable an Ethiopian plane might be is anybody's guess.
Would YOU trust an Ethiopian plane?
I can only imagine all the flights are outgoing, and probably run out of gas the second they get in the air.
AB 957 passed California’s State Assembly May 3
A recently amended California bill adds “affirming” the sexual transition of a child to the state’s standard for parental responsibility and child welfare—making any parent who doesn’t affirm transgenderism for their child guilty of abuse under California state law.
I'll say this for the perverts--they have made the news more entertaining than I've ever seen in my life!
"Good afternoon, Mrs Dickerson. We're with Child Protective Services, and we've received a report from a hospital that you refused to cut your son's balls off and turn him gay. Is this true?"
"Oh my god! I would never do that to any child!"
"Turn around and put your hands on your head, mam. The abuse stops here."

Today, the US Senate issued a public statement regarding Canada celebrating their National Clean Air Day with nationwide wildfires now suffocating both our nations, then went on to shit on their face about some other abominations as well.
No, I'm NOT joking. Today IS National Clean Air Day in Canada. How's that for a kick in the nuts?
I find that consistent from a nation whose Prime Minister attends world forums with dicks painted all over his clothing. If you're going to go at all, go big or go home.
I'm sure there are those who would defend Canada's fucked up sense of humor, but I say maybe if they'd put down their goddam maple syrup tree-taps and buckets and wandering the earth in dicksocks, and instead beef up their fire departments, maybe we could all be breathing air right now instead of Kanuck farts, those pancake munchin bastards!

Anyone else confused or curious why thousands of the same people who have made A.I. what it is, are all signing doomsday letters to governments across the world saying it's out of control and going to set the world on fire?
I'm thinking the only reason they would be demanding a government totally ignorant of A.I. regulate the only ones who understand it, are because they are either trying to spread the blame because they know for a fact something apocalyptic is unavoidable, or instead, and I think much more likely, they know if they just sell the government the technology to dominate the population with A.I., there's going to be an uprising and blood in the streets like in 2020, but if they do exactly that--but under the illusion of government regulating them and not the public, it will make for an easy sale, and people will be tricked into missing that both are the exact same thing.
Doesn't it seem a little odd that it's the exact same people, and also odd we have not seen anything in the media about the effect of an artificially intelligent government dominating the citizenry?
What do YOU think?
Do YOU trust an artificially intelligent government?
Years ago, I decided to read War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy--one of the largest novels ever written, and widely considered a classic, by those professors with no taste or good judgement, who presumably buy all the books in their office bookshelves as a teacher's kit or something. This was back before I realized that it's a really good idea to get some familiarity with an author and his work before investing a lot of time. It was a learning lesson, and ever since, when I get ready to embark on reading a book or studying all an author's work, I consult others, I read cliffnotes, I read wiki and encyclopedia articles, and get a better sense of what I'm in for, so I can know my time is not wasted. Leo Tolstoy is the reason why--arguably the single most boring sonofabitch who ever lived--I got about a third of the way through the book before I threw it away for fear I'd hang myself.
I would compare him to Plato, for his lack of brevity, but Plato accomplished a lot, and I can't think of a single person in history who explored the nature of justice so thoroughly, among other things. It's laborious reading for sure, but there are rewards. Tolstoy, on the other hand, told a boring story--a really, really, REALLY long boring story, and left out the single most important feature of writing--with novels about people's lives, you have to make your reader care about the characters involved. Once the readers care, you can do anything you want with them, as long as it's reasonably interesting, and the reader may or may not think it's good writing, but at least it will hold interest enough to finish the story, and it will be memorable. Readers can be interested for all sorts of reasons, but they do have to be interested. I kept reading after the story bored me, thinking if I stuck to it long enough, it would get better. War and Peace is like watching flies fuck, and it tattooed my brain with the mantra "Oh my fucking god!--who gives a shit? Make a point before I have another birthday, you boring sonofabitch!"--which I repeated in my head so many goddam times, I may have literally injured myself with an abstract repetitive motion injury.
Anyway, I happened to accidentally run into Leo Tolstoy at a coffee shop in Seattle after that, and when he asked me what I thought of his book, I yelled, "YOU SONOFABITCH!" then kicked him square in the dick as hard as I could, turned him upside down, and violently shook him until all the hours of my life that he wasted fell out, then shoved them right up his ass, pinned him down, and carved the name "Leo Fucktoy" across his forehead.
Unfortunately, it turned out he was just a heavily bearded man who lied when I asked if he was Leo Tolstoy, so the police had some legitimate questions. I stand by it though. Tolstoy is a total asshole, and the guy should have known better than to 'fess up when asked. That's not an identity you want to falsify. If someone asked if he was Hitler, would he complain about a beating if he said yes? Fuck Tolstoy and everyone who looks like him--including the dick in the coffee shop.
I do not recommend Tolstoy.
