Direct Action: An Historical Novel
changing the world – one arrest at a time!
OK, what’s weirder:
(A) Trump winning a “peace prize” invented by a soccer corporation in order to give it to Trump, or
(B) this photo?
Really, if you told me this was AI-generated, I’d go, “Phew! I thought for a minute the old goat really looked like that!”
The lesson – don’t drink coffee while repairing your car with an electric tool – and for sure, don’t turn on the lights!

Suppose everything Trump is doing – invading US cities, harassing and deporting low-wage workers, demolishing the White House – is what Putin has ordered him to do?
Suppose he really is – as was widely suggested in 2016 – Putin’s lackey? Wouldn’t this be his game plan?
No, I don’t quite believe it. But as a short story idea, it certainly qualifies as “plausible.”

CryptoWater – the world’s premier source of digital water – seeks investors to bring our vision to fruition!
As the world’s potable water supplies dwindle, CryptoWater is the wave of the future.
Think of it – when real water loses all value, you will be the one with digital water!

I don’t know, I kind of like the idea of combining the US and Canada. Only why is all of Canada one state? Why not each province as a state?
I mean, if Wyoming with its 17 people counts as a state, why can’t Alberta or Manitoba?
Maybe I’m over-confident, but my guess is if we added ten Canadian states, each with two Senators, the balance of political power might shift away from the red states. I think it’s worth a shot!

Trump toadie Charlie Kirk, an alleged Christian, had this to say while gloating about the coming year: “Is God done with this country? Now I can say confidently, no, God is not done with America.”
Reminds me of what my dear old mother used to say when I got in a wee bit of trouble.
“You go sit in that corner – I’m not done with you!”

OK, I’m a convert – the entire Paranoid album revisioned as 1950s pop-swing. I wish I’d thought to type that AI prompt!
I’ve never liked 50s mainstreamers like Sinatra or Brenda Lee (Rockin’ Around the Xmas Tree excepted, of course!). But maybe the problem all along was the songs.
The youtube comments are pretty good too!
We owe it to a better future to promote this beneficent use of AI.
Here’s the spoof – and the real deal just below.
Jerry Seinfeld was musing lately about the “death of comedy,” which he initially blamed – surprise! – on PC attitudes.
He backed off later, and admitted that a comedian’s job is to make us laugh at the world as it is, not as they wish it was.
Of course, the alleged Joe Rogans of the world think he was right in the first place. When they don’t get laughs, they blame us!
Internet Cats to the Rescue!
It’s not PCers that are killing standup comedy, folks. It’s internet cat videos.
Used to be that your cat would make you laugh now and then. Today, though, you can watch one cat after another busting your gut. When one video ends, youtube recommends ten more.
Who needs comedians?
No Future in Whining
There’s a deeper problem, though. When your entire schtick is predicated on whining about how mistreated you are – how long is your shelf life?
You might be funny, but once we hear your whines, it’s old news. You can’t milk whininess forever (unless your name is Woody Allen).
Bottom line – standup comedy as we have known it is dead.
Art forms have a lifespan. They don’t last forever. Who writes epic poetry today? Or swing songs?
Standup comedy is dead. Long live internet cats!
