Christian fantasy literature, and commentary on assorted subjects

When this guy’s momma told him he could play his trombone until the cows come home, he took it literally, and went out and did just that.
Be patient: the cattle are coming from a long way off. But they’ll get there. They just can’t resist it.
Maybe the robot doesn’t have the answers!

Mozilla has pleaded with Google to turn off Google AI Overview–turn it off before it does serious damage.
Arstechnica.com goes into more detail (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/05/googles-ai-overview-can-give-false-misleading-and-dangerous-answers/). As you know, robots are mindless; and they don’t have a sense of humor. So AI Overview sometimes provides “false, misleading, and dangerous answers” to users’ questions.
(Oh, but only sometimes! answer Google bigwigs.)
One of AI Overview’s little foibles is to take jokes (!) as facts: e.g. putting glue on pizza to keep the cheese from falling off, or “add more oil to a cooking fire.” Well, a robot doesn’t know a joke when it sees one, does it?
I’m beginning to wonder: Is there anything some people won’t do, to avoid thinking? How badly do we need this “Artificial Intelligence”? How many “Sorry about that!” moments are we prepared to accept?
What will my toaster-oven advise?

We’ve been laughing at Far Left Crazy for such priceless gems of idiocy as the Green New Deal, forcing superheroes to combat imaginary systemic racism, and Joe Biden–according to the nooze media, our future president–babbling like a drunken moron.
I don’t know about you, but it’s starting to scare me. I think we’d better take it seriously and figure out a way to defeat it.
It takes a long time to build a country up, but it can be torn down in a fraction of the time it took to build it. Before Hugo Chavez, Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America. Now it’s a basket case. Czarist Russia had a food surplus, and was a food-exporting nation. Stalin plunged it into famine. And then there’s North Korea.
The Democrat Party and its Far Left Crazy playmates mean to take over America and turn it into God knows what. They mean to tear down everything we have. As one of the Only Black Lives Matter honchos has admitted, “If we don’t get what we want, we’ll burn it down.” If they can, they will.
It’s not enough to laugh at these people. We are one spate of voter fraud away from being “fundamentally transformed” into Venezuela North.
It’s not enough to defeat them at the polls. They won’t go away; they’ll just keep on attacking us. This is our payoff for letting people who hate America run our schools, our media, many of our corporations, and our “entertainment” industry.
The enemy controls those institutions. Their hold must be broken. Their influence must be rooted out and permanently destroyed.
We are in more danger now than we were in the darkest days of World War II–because this enemy is already here, already dug in, and has assembled an army of mal-educated useful idiots who think they’re gonna get free stuff. They’re always surprised by what they wind up getting, but by then it’s much too late.
This must be stopped. Speak the truth, pray, and never, never, never give in. Never give in. Not if it takes seventy years to get their fangs out of our flesh.
Today may be the last day (for a few days) of the bitterly cold and excessively windy weather for a little while. Hooray.
It is supposed to warm up to near freezing tomorrow which will feel relatively warm by comparison to what it has been.
Today was a day of total loafing.
Watched a lot of things on YouTube and some other of my favorite spots on the internet.
It was the best way to take my mind off my total inactivity and inclement weather.
Now if all goes well, I can start up a regular work and fitness routine tomorrow.
God bless everybody.

If public education were a car, would you buy it?
But that’s a silly question, because they force you to buy it whether you want it or not, whether you use it or not.
We are getting a raw deal. Our country is “educating” itself to death. I don’t mean that as a figure of speech.
Look at our government. We Americans must be the biggest suckers ever to walk the earth.
