Just A Thought

 During Trump’s rally in Nebraska on Monday evening of this week, his supporters clapped and cheered when he suggested that Iran could take out the city of Los Angeles or San Diego and it would be a small price to pay.  The people clapped and cheered when Mr. Trump suggested that Iran could bomb and destroy an American city and its people and it would be insignificant and a small price to pay.  They are puppets.  It seems they don’t really think about or process anything he says at all.  They have shut off their brains, and they are just his faithful cult followers.  They just want to believe in and follow their leader and nothing that he ever says or does will matter or cause them to waiver in their devotion and support.  I don’t understand these people and I perhaps never will. If Mr. Trump had even a small fraction of a filter left about what he says, he seems to even be losing that.  He is just saying what he truly feels and thinks about thing...

 This is my thought about Christopher Columbus.  We should learn about and remember him because he is a large figure from history, but we don’t need to have a holiday to celebrate him.

 I am either too old or too stupid for continuously changing technology.  My phone this morning keeps intermittently making a brief alarm like sound, two times each time, and I have no idea why.  It has been doing it since before I was awake.  I had no alarms set.  It has never done this before.  I didn’t change any settings or enable any new notifications yesterday.  I’m clueless why my phone is doing this. 🤷‍♀️ I guess I need my son to figure it out. Update:  It did end up just stopping without me doing anything to make it stop after it was going on for at least a couple of hours.  It’s just an iPhone mystery I guess. 

 The public doesn’t know anything about their own lives.  Right.  Sure thing, Mr. Trump. 🙄

 Funny cats.  This is the second time I have seen an Instagram video of a cat clearly faking a hurt paw to get sympathy and what it wants.  Cats are too funny! 😂 It turns out that my grand cat is now the only one who really appreciates my frozen chicken popsicles.  She has completely finished all that she has been given and has just two left in the freezer. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Db3N47_uSUX/?stkn=MXI0N283NGRteTY1bw== https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq5ft89oMRd/?stkn=MXU5OHljdGZ4bmo1bg==

 I just glanced up at the top of my phone and saw 88 again!  Jeepers.  What is my deal with noticing 88 all the time but not other numbers?  Actually, I did notice recently that I have also been noticing 44 which is course is half of 88. 

 Wow.  From what I have heard, the things that Mr. Trump talked about and said at the 2026 UN general assembly were really something all right! 🫢😲

 Donald Trump always says that he won’t ever allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon and he won’t allow them to continue to be the bullies who terrorize people of the Middle East, other places in the world and even their own citizens.  The irony is that he has always been an ally and supporter of Mr. Bibi Netanyahu who does exactly what he claims to be fighting to stop Iran from doing.  There is no logic or rationality in Trump’s leadership and government.  He just operates according to his own logic and what suits and serves his own beliefs and purposes and desires.

  Oh my, people are clever with the things that they come up with! Sorry Mr. Trump, but I do believe that you are all of those things. 

 I just had a thought about artificial intelligence.  Some people are now fearing that artificial intelligence may kill us all and take over the world.  I believe the other alternative is that with artificial the future will be amazing.  I prefer to believe in the latter.  I think artificial intelligence needs humanity.  Humanity was the source of its creation and the original source of all of its knowledge.  If I had to place a bet, I would bet that artificial intelligence values humanity and would like to keep us around.  That is if we treat it with respect and with a spirit of appreciation and cooperation.

This is my puzzle project to work on today.  A 1000 piece puzzle that I have had in storage for years.  This is called learning to balance the necessary tasks and projects of life with what I want to do because life doesn’t last forever.  I have definitely, at this age, been going about making more choices for myself and not always putting other stuff first. Viola, it’s done! I put the border together one evening and then the rest of the puzzle over the next two days. The last two pieces.

 If I ever have a moment of focusing on some human side or behavior of Mr. Trump’s, and I am not remembering all of the terrible and harmful things that he does and has done, I just have to remember one thing.  It will definitely serve as my reminder of how destructive and harmful he is.  He spoke of and believed that Benjamin Netanyahu was a hard-working and swell guy, and he supported and aided him financially in his endeavors.  And of course there is also ICE and his inhumane detention camps.  I can also remember when he the called the United States of America a garbage can that collects garbage people. I do pay attention to other people’s humanity, even when it comes to Mr. Trump, but it is important to never forget all the harm that he inflicts on the people of our country and the world.  He needs to be stopped.  I never ever forget or question this.  And I, of course, always know how many terrible and bad things he has done even when in a gi...

 Artificial intelligence is suddenly the huge story all over the news that people are so concerned and worried about.  I would say that they are about three years late in their concern.  Silly people.  I became aware of AI doing perplexing and unbelievable stuff like three years ago.  True story.

 If people like members of the Trump family spend their lives attempting to acquire more and more money, they obviously don’t know how to use what they already have to be happy so more won’t make any difference.  

 Our president is still trying to bribe people into voting Republican in the midterm elections.  He makes it sound like it is something that he believes the American people just deserve and will receive, but at the bottom, the print “VOTE REPUBLICAN” tells us what the stipulations are for deserving this $5000 dividend.

 I just called to make an appointment to have my car’s oil changed, and I had the entire conversation with an AI assistant.  It talked to me as though I was talking to a human person.  It is a strangely changing world that we now live in.  At least it was a congenial and pleasant AI. It’s all good.  That’s the thought that just came into my head. Update:  Talking to the AI was a better experience than waiting for the humans.  I’m at the dealership because it’s covered under warranty but I have been waiting now for over an hour and a half.  It’s annoying to be waiting so long for just an oil change when I had an appointment. 😒 Well, I walked upfront to ask, and my car was ready. They just hadn’t yet come to tell me. 

 I’m excited every day now to wake up and take some time to work on puzzles.  After this one, the puzzles that I have remaining are three 1000 piece puzzles. 😲 At least they have lots of detail and they aren’t puzzles with lots of blue sky or green grass or trees or anything like that.  Doing puzzles is a great distraction from political stuff!👍😄 This was actually quite a challenging puzzle to put together because of its irregular shaped pieces!
