I have a blob next to my bedroom radio. It may be a giant dust bunny. I am not sure. It hasn't moved in a long time. There is no wind here.

Stormy Daniels testified today in Donald Trump's first criminal (not civil) trial. He owes a bunch of money, but this trial could land him in prison. Daniels's testimony was pretty riveting, according to what I read. It's pretty...

I just walked into my kitchen, scratched me head, and wondered why I was there. My coffee water was already heating up, breakfast was done, and my egg and bacon burner had been turned off.
I ate some peanuts and returned to my...

I finished up my "Street Life" chapter today. I have three chapters to finish up, and then I am ready to find a publisher. This will be "edgier" than most developmental psychology books, as I worked in some pretty rough...

Last night was pretty normal. I slept well and didn't get any leg cramps (my nemesis). I got up at about three AM to chase off the raccoon that was trying to open Kitty's Meow Mix bag, and then went to bed and had good...

I went and played music with my harmonica-playing friend John last night. I was greeted at the gate by the brown lab, a relatively new addition to the family.

The Meidas Touch guy in this clip addressed my concern: Is the Lefty media selectively reporting portions of Trump's speeches in which he babbles, gaffes, and makes no sense? Could the Trump speech clips even be AI generated, with...
