I have become more convinced that the purpose of government is cheap entertainment. If I want to sit and be “entertained“ I go to YouTube and watch news or commentary about all of the political idiocy of the day or week. most of the commentary is coming from the US about the US.
I would rather watch things like gardening or blacksmithing, but YouTube always puts the news about politics back in the feed. The people we elect are not the ones who wield power, but the ones who distract from the wielding of power.
More and more we are living in the actual story of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Set small on earth.
I know my view on politics is not overly optimistic, but it is definitely a very exciting sport to watch at times.
The “ Democrat party“ is less than impressive. The Democrats haven’t been worth much, in my opinion, since John F. Kennedy was president and the Republicans, since Eisenhower. I don’t think politics have been worth much since the 20th century began. Everything since then has been cheap entertainment for the public at large, about the last seventy years have been the worst.
The world is stupid.
Most recent Star Wars stuff is pathetic and has been since The Force Awakens.
Disney is not worth much. I love lots of the old movies, but I refuse to get Disney+. i’m not major fan of Disney anymore. It used to be the gold standard of entertainment and amusement parks. Now it is….Not
What I like the most is my plants.
I have a chili pepper plant. It has started growing new fruit since the hot part of summer has passed. I am very excited.
I have a friend who helped me make self watching containers and I think they work fairly well.
My son helped me create a bog of carnivorous plants. It’s not the biggest but that’s OK. And the plants have grown some and gotten a little bigger. It has been interesting to see how they have grown in the past month.
Electric vehicles are a weak idea. I cannot imagine if everyone in a city the size of San Antonio had an electric vehicle. Sure I would not need to buy gasoline anymore. How much is my electric bill going up? And if everyone is charging a car and running the air conditioner at the same time. Texas would be worse than California.
I saw a post on Facebook about a man who added a charger/generator to his electric car. When the wheels turn it generates power that charge the battery. This would make a lot of sense. The car can generate its own electricity to recharge its own battery while it’s moving you could also put some kind of solar power on the outside of the car to help generate electricity with the car. The technology may not be the best right now, but as time goes on, it will get better. The idea that a electric car needs to be “refueled” similar to a gas powered car is beyond idiotic. We are supposed to be living in an age that doesn’t require gasoline, but we cannot break away from the idea of refueling exactly like gas powered car.
Personally, I like the idea of electric cars, but trying to refuel them on the existing power grid is beyond stupid. If we can make better idea for refueling electric cars, they have a lot of potential.
Some days I want to stay in bed and wait for someone to wake me when the world explodes.
