How stupid does he think we are?!

The orange menace reposted a photoshopped picture of Kamala with PDiddy for reasons I can't begin to understand or explain. 

And yet… he's called Diddy his guy, and came out and said he was innocent. And there are tons of pics of him with diddy. Including this one. 




What a pillock

This waste of space, mouth breathing senate candidate wants to know why women over 50 care about abortion.  

Where to begin? How about congrats on understanding one thing in biology; you learned that women reach menopause sometime about that age. But really? You can't understand women's health?!

You just can't make this stuff up.

breaking down plastics

Here's another team working on how to break down polypropylene and polyethylene using a catalyst - relatively cheap materials - to break the polymer chains. 

So far, they've had some success in a test environment. It will be interesting to see if they can try it out on a large scale and see what the effects are, and whether this could be scaled.

To Valhalla

I was sad to learn the Eugene "mercury" Morris passed away. He was another of the greats on that '72 undefeated dolphins team and became their ersatz spokesman. 

Mercury was quite the character, but had a darker side where he got involved with drugs, and spent some time in prison after his playing days.  

But he was always kind of humble about it all and was honest about his mistakes. 

I had the pleasure of interviewing him many years ago. I don't recall where the full recording disappeared off to, but here's a clip I put on YouTube. 


A step closer to wireless charging

Tesla had acquired several companies that specialized in wireless charging technology, but that seemed to lead nowhere…

Until this week, when they filed a patent on wireless charging technology. And they have shown how it would work with specific cars. Which would seem to indicate this is how the robotaxis would stay charged while on the road. 

This could be an amazing breakthrough, and I might be a little more enthusiastic if it weren't involving Elon musk. 

But in any case, I'm excited about the evolutionary step that's about to happen.

Election-related videos

Under the headline "doing what I can to help,"  I decided to produce some short videos about the election, and more specifically why to vote for Kamala - and why not to vote for the orange menace.

They are being posted regularly to TikTok here 


And they can all be found in a playlist on YouTube:

Feel free to watch, share, or ignore (if that's your thing!)

A refresher on trumps collusion with Russia

This is a look back at the disinformation campaign - and the subversion of the 2016 election. 

Think it couldn't happen again? Think again.
