  • I was going to bring up card catalogues and microfiche, but it is more difficult now, especially with all the AI written articles popping up a la carte as top results.

    I guess it would be like the physical library having a fee^1 to enter, the librarian men and women in lingerie and banana hammocks, and all the publications unsorted: Fiction and Non-Fiction together with celebrity magazines, The National Enquirer, and nazi publications… and lots of torn out pages.


    ^1 Fee replaces ads. I’d rather not picture a world where the advertising in the show Maniac exists. (Can’t afford the bus? The ad-reader shows up and speaks ads at you until you have “earned” the $1.25, or whatever.)





  • I find it hard to believe anyone would not immediately burn the fake ID used to book into the Hostel, which they say he had it on him. I would have burned the coffee cup from before the event too though.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t have gone to Starbucks or McDonald’s (24 year boycott) either, let alone sitting down inside. I’d be in Mexico or Canada. Why would he go back to the state of his alma mater? This doesn’t make a lot of sense, and like the wonderful Judge Judy says, “if it doesn’t make sense, it’s not true”. I’m sticking with “scapegoat” until I hear something logical.



  • Here is a screenshot of the godforsaken guitar so people don’t have to give that site views:

    guitar with ugly eagle painted on it in top panel. Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it

    Image transcription:
    4 panels
    Top right is a regular looking guitar with the ludicrous name “God Bless the USA guitar” for $1000.
    The bottom right is a bright red electric guitar for $1,500.
    Guitar with ugly eagle in flight spanning 75% of it, a US flag filling the remaining 25%, is in top left panel: $1,250.
    Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it in bottom left panel: $10,250.
