Strange what straw in life will break the camel's back. This is the one for me. By the end of September, I will be done with Google.

I wish I could attach a PDF of the whole thing because it is terrifying, but... I chatted with Perplexity AI about the reported blackmail test and use of autonomous AI agents in U.S. military and U.S. intelligence. In the end it said:

Voter turnout in Tennessee leaves a lot of potential votes on the table. Focusing on those who don't vote might be key. That's my plan, anyway.

The GOP gets more and more things wrong and fewer and fewer things right. Like this, for instance, from their account on X. Women on the right need to wake up about the GOP and women.

From now on, whenever anyone tells me I'm being an asshole or a dickhead, I will say no I'm not and show them this social media post because this is being an asshole.

I'm sure Facebook will punish me for posting this on their platform, but everyone needs to understand the risk of interacting with ads over there. Not that I've been burned or anything...

I'm assuming the City Manager of Kerrville, TX trained for the job under this guy.

If God gave us coal, then it stands to reason he also gave us the wind, the sun, the water, the atom so why not use them? And of course, Tim is lying about China and their windmills. He needs to be replaced by someone who will do something other than be on TV.

Cages in the Everglades. Another thing MAGA voters are proud of, I assume.

We finished our first three days of training at Grant Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Deer Lodge, MT today. It's an interesting park which first opened in 1977. It commemorates the open range era of cattle ranching in the U.S. Picture is a canola flower being worked by an ant.

We made it to our destination: a lovely little RV park in Garrison, MT. We begin our summer-long volunteer gig at Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site this Thursday.

2nd day in the Badlands. We drove around the national park, did a couple of short hikes, came back to the camper and rested up. We needed a rest day. Tomorrow, we leave for Garryowen, MT where we will overnight and then head to our destination of Garrison, MT.

Day 4 on our trek to Montana: Spending 2 days in Interior, SD to take in Badlands NP. For all we know, this could be the last year this park exists given current administration direction. Beautiful, mystifying place.
