Oh, sweetheart, I’m about to pass the finish line of three quarters of a century on this planet. You have yet to achieve true frikkin OLD, grasshopper.
I see Mr. Beast shit at the grocery store now. It looks awful and overpriced so I’ve never bought it. I first heard of him maybe a year ago when a local morning radio show I listen to on the way to work talked about him and his fame. I think he got famous with prank videos or something. I sure as hell am not gonna look it up.
I know who PewDiePie is because I have kids, I heard of him years ago.
I’m old(-ish, nearly 50) but have young kids so I’m clued in to a few things still.
On Law and Order, the new episode dealt with a tech billionaire that was buying ketamine and other party drugs, and was murdered. It also involved references to Burning Man and firing software engineers and a rogue AI developed by the company. And possible deep fake evidence.
Despite all that, it still was a crappy episode. They are just phoning them in, or maybe the entire episode was written by AI and filmed with deep fake tech. That would explain it.
Elmo appears to have bought himself a new toy – a Boeing 737-800. Not clear what it’s for – maybe the Gulfstream is starting to feel cramped. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that this is a SpaceX plane – the company it’s registered to is the same one IIRC that owns the several Gulfstreams he flies around in. I’m disappointed that it doesn’t have the same gaudy livery as Trump’s obnoxious vehicle, so I’ve re-imagined it accordingly:
I can’t help but think that he’s become frightened of relying on commercial or charter pilots who might have benefited from DEI. Now he can pick his own pilot, and he and his merry friends can fly wherever they want, whether it be to a top ketamine manufacturing facility, or into the side of a mountain.
I think it’s a sign that Elmo has generated so much internal hate from me that my first thought when reading your posts is “737? Please let this one have major flaws as well and take a digger into the ground with Elmo aboard!”
Disregarding all the other people who are almost certainly blameless that would be killed in that scenario. Ugh. I hate the way that Trump, Eloon, and his ilk make me almost instinctively sink to their level. Not what I hate most about them, but it’s a contributing factor.
Try growing up in the 50s and taking accordion lessons (Use an accordion, go to jail!), and everybody watching Lawrence Welk telling you that you’ll be just like Myron Floren one day!
