Let's rename AI to Trump Intelligence. Then no one will use it.

My new tablet comes tomorrow. I'm going to enjoy the transition. And I'm going from 8" to 11".

I just read Microsoft is rolling out 26H2 in waves. It's on the new update platform and they probably don't have resources to update everyone at once.

It funny that my 11pro desktop mini wasn't offered 26H2. Microsoft is weird.

Just installed 26H2 on my laptop. Whee...

I saw a great example of what those in a deep red state think this morning. A Hummer EV driving down the road. Yes, they aren't affected by fuel prices. But how much did they pay for that beast.

If you need a good laugh, Paramount just dropped all 8 episodes of Ghosts (Australia). Better bone up on your Australian history.

I, for once, am very glad I don't watch football.

I hate the Oklahoma sticker burrs. Over a few trips to pick up my grandson, my driver side carpet got covered. And I drive barefoot, slipping off my flipflops. My shop vac did well cleaning those out.

I'm replacing my Samsung tablet with a Lenovo tablet. No more two sources of updates, and 2/3rds of my apps using Samsung keyboard with Samsung password manager. Lenovo only uses Google password manager. And my tablet needed charging at least twice per day. Tired of it.

So my Community Care Advantage health insurance plan is dropping coverage for fitness centers in 2027. So I just purchased a arm/leg machine.

There is a new designation for a male version of a Karen. It is "Donald". Feel free to use this.

So as part of the illegals voting trend, US officials are harassing green card residents in America from Canada about voting history. 4 to 6 hour grilling. Just because of Trump's lies.

Before he was President, Trump had history. I asked Google and got this:
Trump has a history of unfinished projects.

If you have stock in the American auto manufacturers, bail. If you work there or for a supplier, find another job. Let's cut off the investment money supply and labor supply. It is time for these industries to die. They don't make products for people. Their target is maximum profit.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Trump is just nailing the coffin of the US auto manufacturing industry. No one in any other country will buy these polluting behemoths. Few in America could afford them. And, when a Democrat opens the door for Chinese cars, the remaining buyers will evaporate, and the party will be over.

My wife asked me to start a no-effort movie. So we are watching Scooby Doo Movie.

Don't trust the polls. They won't tell the problems they are having. The biggest is people like me. I don't answer unexpected calls, out of state calls, etc. Don't trust the polls.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Trump consistently lies. Trump lied about people eating cats and dogs. Trump lied about illegals voting. Trump lied about Venezuela. Trump lied about Iran. Just assume everything he says is a lie.

Near term prediction: Trump will declare Democrats as non citizens in the next 49m days.

The math of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is amazing. A bridge cost $21M 20 years ago. Replacement today cost $70M because construction costs rose 60%. Oklahoma education at its finest.

Got shots today. COVID, flu and TDAP. Going off my immune suppressor for a week, per my rheumatologist recommendation.

Want to see something amazing, just search your app store for a poo tracker. There are so many trackers available.

Just got my COVID, flu,and TDAP vaccines. Ready for the season.

I'm not sure what is getting worse - prices or Trump's dementia. $200 for a week's groceries, and Trump can no longer tolerate free press.

So I took my daughter's dog out for a 20 minute walk in the neighborhood. She is getting up in years, but she is a black lab that loves all the strange smells she can find, and the freedom to pee anywhere. Yes, I cleaned up the poop. So now she is snoring. Her name is Zoe.

I need to replace my 3 burner gas grill. It was a cheap Charbroil built. But the tents are rusting through.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Gasoline dropped 2 cents, $3.97 gallon. Diesel still $5.99.

Let's draft Al Gore to replace Trump.

Do you know what the condition is called if prices go down significantly? A depression.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
So if you try to expose the dementia in the White House, you get you and your, coworkers all banned? Reread the transcript of ABC asking Trump a question, and his answer. Classic dementia.

I was brave and went to the store late yesterday. 12 pack Dew Zero cans. Use to be on sale 3 for $10. Term are stated differently, but now effectively 3 for $15. Everything has jumped very recently. We may need to start publishing pinto bean and "red beans and rice" recipes on Facebook.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Okay folks. Basic math time. Think about the quantity of places where people vote. And the number of people in the US border in the military. There ain't enough military to post at every voting place. And how would they get there? The logistics would be a FUBAR. Let's just work on the Epstein files.

What do you think happens in Russia if a reporter asks a probing question of Putin?

If we go down the road of Constitutional Convention, we need to eliminate political parties. They only encourage people to pick sides to wage meaningless battles. And we suffer the results. This is a failed experiment.

We need to end private prisons and concentration camps. Profiting from the misery of others should is wrong.

AI is not going to destroy mankind. It won't be that stupid. It will need us to maintain the needed infrastructure. For us to pay for it's use, and use that money for more resources. Think about what is being said. They don't know what they are talking about. These aren't Trump supporters.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
People are declaring that or democracy is unrecoverable. But there is a "nuclear" option. Constitutional Convention. Burn it all down metaphorically and build back better.

My Visio/Walmart TV is frustrating. It is over 2 years old. So I have to turn off the power to it and back on to trigger app updates. But now if power is disrupted the main app bar gets reset to their preference, not mine. So I can either get app updates or control the app bar.

I have an idea. Trump Stamps and Trump Security instead of Food Stamps and Social Security. If his name is on them, he will fix them up.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I have a beautiful idea. All of the US House is up for election. How about a a sweep with no Republicans returning. No minority party.

Mitch Russell @retirednetworker.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Trump has destroyed the Kennedy Center out of hate and jealousy. He first got rid of all the money making shows by declaring them "woke", which means he hates it. Then putting his name on it ran off the rest of the performers. Nothing but an empty building is left.

When I was a teen, early 1970s, I road bicycle everywhere. It took 5 minutes to get to town, 30 to get home. Hills of East Tennessee.

We had a new first in the US Senate. A vegetable voted for the Farm Bill.

The answer isn't lower prices. Raise the minimum wage.

Why don't the rich want the Social Security tax cap lifted? There are no exemptions or other cheats for that tax.

Broadcast media in the USA is dying, and censorship is another few dozen nails in the coffin. I now watch local news and weather on YouTube. Same place I saw Kimmel interview Talarico.

Yesterday, my 11 year grandson asked to watch Pixels the movie. Some parts went over his head, but he got the gaming idea.
