Stupid Tweet from Que Dizzle
I saw this on X. Is this real or a parody?
Perhaps it is real. American Progressives are that stupid,

I’ve retired from Wordle. Here are my stats for the last year.
I’m retiring so I can spend more time with my family and to deal with pending scandals, whatever they might be.
This retirement is permanent. Let me make that perfectly clear. No returning to Wordle under any circumstances that don’t involve me making money or responding to a groundswell of demand for my return.
Looking at my stats, I can hang up my vocabulary with my head held high just like Jordan did when he decided to give baseball a try.
I am looking to give having ten more minutes a day to deal with the challenges of life a try.

Chuck Norris & Albert Einstein
The young Einstein was a cocky fuck who thought he could take on Chuck Norris. Norris swathed Einstein easily. He then told Einstein to smarten up.
The next year, an admonished Einstein came up with the theory of relativity,
Chuck Norris at Christmas
Chuck Norris doesn’t put presents under a tree. He puts a tree over the presents.

Today is
I won’t mention it in my regular blog, but today is the date on which many years ago (four score and eleven) something happened.
I’m hoping, in a perverse way, that no one says anything about it to me,
For as Yogo Berra said: “If you don’t go to other people’s funerals, they won’t go to yours.”

2023: The Year of the Mind Fuck
In the corner of the Internet where I lurk, there has been talk of Mind Fuckery. The term maybe was coined by Kunstler and used a lot by him and also used a lot by the host of Coffee and a Mike: a very, very good podcast by the way.
Now, I’ve just read a substack by CJ Hopkins where he declares 2023 to be the year of the Mind Fuck. I suppose that he and Kunstler are talking about the same phenomenon. That is, that the powers that be are really screwing with our minds.
I agree with the idea of the MF. My only quibble is that to say 2023 is the year of it is to minimize how much of it has going on in the years 2020 and 2021 and 2022.

How to stop Chinese from wearing Dodger caps and clothing
For whatever reason — maybe they think it looks cool — Chinese in China like to wear clothing and hats bearing logos the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. As a baseball fan — not as ardent as I used to be, mind you — I can’t stand it. The Chinese mostly have no idea of the baseball aspect of what they’re wearing,
Maybe with Ohtani signing with the Dodgers I can stop them wearing Dodger caps at least. What I’ll do is tell all Chinese that the Dodgers have given 700 million to a Japanese person.

The questions are boring!
So said the student.
Can you think of more interesting questions? I said to the student.
She hesitated and then said I was sure to find some on the internet.

Getting likes on Twitter & Instagram
I only get likes and requests to follow, on X and instagram, from preposterously good-looking women who seem to like to show off their assets. It is very annoying.
