Jubilation T. Cornpone is the name of a Confederate general from an old comic strip called Lil’ Abner. In the story line, he’s kind of like a local “hero” who was famous for his incompetence.
So, my death will most likely be from some outlandish yet predictable, self-inflicted blunder. Like Wyle E. Coyote sawing through the edge of the cliff he happens to be standing on.
The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
Keep the safety on or use a trigger lock,
Maybe put that firearm in a safe. Or better yet, get rid of it. Of all the things that say, “I am not a responsible gun owner”, getting shot by your dog has got to be pretty high up on the list.
The closest I’ve ever come to “fear” of an insect was the day I discovered “Tarantula Hawks”. Imagine a giant purple, orange-winged wasp dragging a very large tarantula across the ground; like Tony Soprano disposing of a body. Whose only reaction, upon noticing my startled gaze, was to continue dragging it’s victim, completely unphased, while looking at me like, “What? You want to take a picture or something?”
We’ve been staving off a recession with little more than sheer denial for quite some time. The Federal Reserve uses unemployment and the consumer price index to gauge economic health but there is a lot that those two metrics can’t account for.
Skyrocketing consumer debt, which has been going on for a while, is a concerning statistic which tends to get downplayed until it turns into defaults. By the time people start defaulting on their mortgages, the train is already speeding away without any brakes.
“Hello, police? Someone is DDOSing my vehicle.”
Pelvis Presley
“Thank you. Thank you very much. …Giggity”
My experience has been more like:
“We’ve scheduled the wedding. Not only have I not asked her out, but the [potential] bride is guaranteed to be completely turned off by the whole idea. I won’t know that because I’m not going to ask her opinion about anything until she ghosts me three weeks before the wedding.”
Including filtering out the salt brine they likely contaminated some fields with.
And here I was thinking it could not possibly get any stupider.
Attempting to “open” a water system that is not at all sort of remotely connected to the LA municipal water system.
Flooding the California central valley in winter which will undoubtedly leave reservoirs depleted during spring and summer, when water is actually needed.
America the Kakistocracy
Edit: The US Army Corps of Engineers operates over 90,000 dams, and the reservoirs they contain, throughout the country. All of which are currently at the discretion of the stupidest person to ever be commander in chief. He can flood your home, cut off your electricity, dry up your farmland, or cause all kinds of havoc on a whim.
I remember a moment before the election in 2016. A family member was going off on a Trump worshiping rant. I asked them what they thought of all the awful things that come out of his mouth. They responded with, “Oh, he’s just saying that stuff because he likes to get attention.”
I quoted a passage from Luke’s gospel. “The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.”
What happened next was amazing. They kind of paused and stared at their shoes with this expression that, if I could put words to it, would have said, “Shit. He’s got me there. How do I get around this one?” They then looked up, physically shrugged it off; like water off a ducks back. That stopped the rant but I knew that If they had to choose between Jesus and this particular version of the anti-christ, their choice was already made and it wasn’t Jesus.

“Good boy.”
That is one bullshit headline. Forbes keeping the AI pump and dump scheme going.
TLDR: People correctly discerned that written responses were from an “AI” chatbot slightly less often than they correctly discerned that responses were from a psychotherapist.
“AI” cannot replace a therapist and hasn’t “won” squat.
