There's the free speech thing of course but more than this it makes Kimmel into an undeserved martyr and he will return Tuesday night puffed up with his own self-importance. Also his lame joke about the Charlie Kirk shooter being MAGA widely missed the mark. If you read the kid's texts to his trans lover right after the shooting he's not all that right-wing as it turns out. Middle-wing or even left-wing maybe but since Kimmel is way past my bedtime anyway meander down any tributary stream of discussion you like. My bones are getting old. In my drawer I have the Tylenol arthritis version. What do I do now?
All the late night comics are on after my bed time out here in the Pacific Time Zone. I'm kind of hooked on the non-political Big Bang Theory and Doc Martin re-runs. Can you explain why Trump loves to criticize every one but can't take criticism himself? Arrested development? Reminds me of that old 'Fernwood Tonight' show -

Do you like the blog without the ads? Yesterday I opened my blog and noticed no ads, clicked on my ad account and saw my account was suspended for 29 days no appeal reason being for invalid traffic. According to policy you as the Blogger can't click on the ads. I don't do that. You also can't encourage others to click on the ads. I don't do that either. What would normally occur is they would estimate the amount of invalid traffic and simply deduct it from your earnings. I have no control over what readers of my blog do. The suspension is based on false assumptions. Rather bizarre imo so I simply chose to disable my account anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very meager source of income anyway. They must have some kind of algorithm that lowers the cost per click the more people click on the ads. Maybe I'll look into moving on over to WordPress. Dunno.
ReplyDeleteNot my fault - I don't need a Harley, cure for baldness or airline pilot training. Google is too big for their britches, sort of the Trump of the net.
ReplyDeleteThe salacious ads were horrible and idiotic. They say you can block them which I did repeatedly but they kept popping up again. I don't wanna see Sarah Palin in a see through bikini. Apparently their policy and standards allow this but get a spike in traffic and it's invalid.
ReplyDeleteAlso too there are so many pop up ads when you click something like Comments then you try to X it out or hit Close and you can accidentally hit it. Wasn't there one for funerals at sea or something?
ReplyDeleteI thought a judge ruled Google a monopoly and they were gonna break it down.
"Google has been involved in several recent lawsuits, including a U.S. Justice Department case over ad-tech monopolies, a new suit by major publisher Penske Media Corporation (PMC) alleging unfair use of content for AI summaries, and a recent settlement in Texas for user data privacy violations. Google is also facing ongoing scrutiny in Russia for fines related to YouTube content policies."
ReplyDeletenote- they didn't mention Z-Man
I've been popping a fair amount of Tylenols recently. When is the autism supposed to kick in?
ReplyDeleteWent in for Covid and Flu shot today. Old guy came in for his wearing a pistol. Welcome to Idaho. Got the cat shaved this morning earlier and they left 1/4" and threw the matted stuff all away. Not sure how long it takes to grow back. but it was sort of black/brown striped and now all dark gray. Then all three tv sets went blank. Pull modem power plug. Then disconnect the coax cable. After 20 seconds, replace the coax cable and power plug. Wait and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteOne TV came on in 10 minutes, one in 20 minutes and one in 1 minute. Hard to stay connected these days.
Wandering down "any tributary stream of discussion". I draw your attention to a house build of embalming fluid bottles, Fair price (say compared to any equivalent in Yonkers) great location in the mountains between Cheyenne and Laramie, requires not much maintenance and no sidewalk inspectors. Check it out -

You could start a top end cafe down on the interstate a few miles,
call it West Yonkers, make a fortune and feed Fancy Feast to local feral cougars. Might have to act fast, it seems something Saty would like as well. You're Welcome :)
Any poison ivy, oak or sumac around? For me poison ivy is a deal breaker. Been there done that.
ReplyDeleteNaw, we don't have that, or mosquitos and chiggers. I suspect rather hard Winters down in that area, having been in both Laramie and Cheyenne several times. Wonder how Soapy is doing with his bitcoin. He was a classic Libertarian as I recall. How's your Mom getting along these days?
ReplyDeleteBed-bound mostly but has her wits. Vitals and appetite good.
ReplyDeleteNot into hard winters. I'll bide my time in Yonkers.
The escalator at the UN out to get Trump? Needs a script.
