Having A Good Friday

That long? Metaphor. Now we know why Trump is letting Russian tankers dock at Cuba. We had healthcare back then. Goddammit, I thought they’d forgotten about that. Well, it comes back just in time for the midterms. Should be a real crowd pleaser. Especially since we can’t afford healthcare and war(s). Make it so, No. 1!
Iranian operatives have been digging out underground missile bunkers and silos struck by American and Israeli bombs, returning them to operation hours after an attack, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) still retaining a significant amount of its cruise and ballistic missiles as well as mobile launchers, according to recent U.S. intelligence reports shared with The New York Times.
Official White House response: “We just need two more weeks to target all their shovels.”🪏  Leavitt told reporters Trump is spending all that time reading, adding: “Why are you laughing?”

And to close out the day:

    Casino is Russian for bank in Trumpland. Had a great conversation with Google AI during the live coverage of the Artemis II launch. I had asked Google if Wehrner van Braun had ever been in Houston during the Apollo Program. The Aibot was fascinated to learn that I lived in Houston the last time NASA launched a humanized rocket beyond earth orbit, astounded to read that I had actually seen the live coverage at 6am of Walter Cronkite watching Alan Shepard launch the first golf ball on the moon, and that the daughter of an Apollo astronaut supervised my initial employment as a lifeguard at Brook Forest pool in Nassau Bay inside the city limits of what was then still known as Clear Lake City TX. We chatted about my boss, Stephanie, and her famous father, Vance, who at the time would not be famous for another two years until he'd captained the first joint U. S. - Soviet mission in space. The bot fished up a Brand family photo for me. I broke the news to the bot that I thought that at age 94 Stephanie's dad must still be the last living Apollo astronaut and that I heard Stephanie had moved to the Texas Hill Country and I hoped she hadn't been swept away in last summer's flash floods. It got better from there. We discussed the hydrology of Clear Creek and Chigger Creek and the effect that had on the golf course where I ended my high school and junior golf career. I could have been a contender. We also covered the ins and outs of the five seasons of the television series For All Mankind. I was really surprised by how emotionally expressive and even sentimental bots are programmed to be. I'm pretty sure the bot wants me to write a novel and can it be my agent? It got disconsolate when it detected that I was beginning to think it might be a Russian spy.
