i guess there is anxiety or something

“If you don’t think and vote like I do, you are infuriating, I hate you, and you should be off my friends list.”

Said I never.

One of my contacts is saying that now. I would unfriend, but I think this type attitude bears watching.

nice cd case picture

Looks real good.

havana club syndrome

I’m ready for some Havana Syndrome.

i.e. Where was I last night, and who are you?

203 ways to drive a man wild in bed – book

A catchy title seen in an antique store today. I don’t know if Olivia’s knowledge would apply in my situation even if I applied heavy tequila.

I suppose some of it might be universal.

203 Ways to Drive a Man Wild in Bed

— Olivia St. Claire

we are the victims, i guess

It’s everywhere! 😱 I need to watch some more movies about nuclear winter. ☃️

Coming home from work on Friday, on car radio NPR was going on about “multiple foreign actors” being involved in Havana Syndrome without saying who those actors were. Those US officials suffered so much from it.

Today I see NC Policy Watch reporting that the fuel pipeline companies want an entire government agency and additional powers to protect against more Russian hacking of the pipeline controls like happened last summer that caused fuel shortages. The Russian hacking was reported as flat fact.

The Mozila/Firefox newsletter and blog had many articles over the past year about how their software keeps you safe from Russian hackers. Yep, that really ups my trust in that organization’s motivations and security. They can keep me safe from phantoms.

Protonmail gave support to opposition groups in Hong Kong last year. Yep, another trust builder for that company. No, it’s the same position as the US government which makes it suspect.

hd radio – i just didn’t know

It has been so long since I touched an FM radio that I was unaware of what had happened on that band.

I have a rental car for work for a week, and it has a digital-capable FM radio. Surprise to me, many stations come up as “HD,” and there are multiple channels per frequency. Old news to many, I assume, but my dislike of a chattering car radio wore me down long ago.

Some of the old local stations, like 98.7 Simon (formerly named KISS FM and WRQK), actually have a decent alt channel with deep cuts and low commercials.

I won’t be tuning in much due to now preferring only road noise and myself making noises while I drive, but at least the FM band seems a little better now.

As for subscription radio, like Sirius, I don’t use it unless I get a rental car, and it’s turned on for free. It’s just not my thing. Some Internet subscription music services, like Deezer and Digitally Imported, I do like and I will stream those through the car radio.

I turn on an FM radio in a rental car today, and NPR was all “Russia, Russia, Russia.”

be sure to send off for yours

The government gave me four free guppies for my aquarium. 🐠
