Yup.

Yep.

Real patriots, those brave Ukrainians. And a real tragedy that our spineless republicans didnt stand up to Trump and his ilk early on. No American patriotism there. NONE.

When the Russian Navy demanded that stranded Ukrainian soldiers on an island immediately surrender or get wiped out, that famous (viral) response. “This is a warship of the Russian Navy”. To which they replied, “ Russian warships, go fuck yourselves.”

At the the dire beginning of the Russian invasion years ago, Zelinsky was offered a military flight out. And that famous reply : I don’t need a ride. I need ammunition”. Which super-inspired his troops.

Gotta love Zelinsky standing up to shakedown thugs. Brilliant choice of words: “You should be grateful. You have no cards in your hands," Vance said. “I did not come here to play cards”, Zelensky replied.

George Carlin predicted this FIFTEEN YEARS AGO! "The real owners of this country.... they're coming for your social security. And you know what, they'll get it." I remember thinking at the time, great entertainer, but a bit shrill and overblown. And HERE WE ARE ! youtu.be/fT03vCaL-F0?...

Say it isn’t so ‼️ Y’all took away the goat at the Grove ? What ? Why ? Iconic.

Tuesday Griffith 6.1 mile night hike. Wandered a bit, no particular destination. A chilly night, but lots of hikers out and about (way more than usual), usually groups of 3-5 people.

Are you getting it ? The fluorescent Fuhrer admires another Fuhrer, hence this, his favorite photo op and ‘look’. And not to forget, his ex wife said he had a book of Adolph’s collected speeches on his nightstand. Fine people on both sides, right Donald ?

www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r... Total insanity “Chris Wright built his career expanding fossil fuels and denying climate science—even dismissing wildfires as ‘just hype’ while entire communities in Los Angeles were reduced to ash.”

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Was telling a Trader Joe’s clerk the other day, “I can’t wait for $10 tomatoes. Not per pound, but EACH. “

These guys see what Murica cannot. China is the Mike Tyson of car manufacturing in the world. Already gave them the solar panel market, next up is cars. 100% tariffs ? China could sell a BYD $10,000 EV for $20,000 here. youtu.be/tRnJOVbzvC0

blogmaverick.com/2025/01/09/a... Mark Cuban is spot on.

Oooook this is good. I’m constantly frustrated with metric conversions. This, takes care of that. Without a google search. www.huffpost.com/entry/iphone...

www.nj.com/politics/202... Good point,Bernie! “If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in this country, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers — while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers?” .”

When parents understand that the nearby coal-fired power plant or exhaust from their car or the explosion of climate-fueled wildfires can wound their child’s mind, I believe many will demand clean energy in their homes, schools, jobs, and communities. www.wired.com/story/fossil...

The Yucca hawk on patrol.

Yucca corridor hawk in Hollywood. He regularly scopes out my balcony for careless doves. So far, hasn’t been successful. Think I read that only about 20% of Raptor attacks catch any prey. Had obvious success with the building across the street. Large flocks of pigeons no longer assemble there

Iconic building, iconic mural. Vine street above Hollywood blvd.

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

Now that’s a fun biz name. Hollywood blvd, just west of Western. Wooooof !

Uh oh. $103,000. “On March 3, Michael Green, chief strategist at asset management firm Simplify, entered into a wager with Peter McCormack, host of the podcast What Bitcoin Did. Green wagered $20,000 that bitcoin would not reach $100,000 by year-end. McCormack wagered $100,000 that it would”

Well, yeah !

Happening now. History does indeed repeat itself. youtu.be/w7G3yz6a84c?...

Fascinating stuff, really. Using advanced AI to solve incredibly complex problems. Just like Tesla is doing with bewilderingly complex self-driving car software. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

The is a SpaceX screen capture showing the Falcon 9 rocket I posted earlier, landing on the autonomous landing ship ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ somewhere in the ocean off Baja.

A recent Sunday night Vandenberg Space Force base launch, 20 Starlink satellites to low earth orbit. From the roof of my building in Hollywood.
