🔗 12m Americans believe violence is justified to restore Trump to power.

… I bet they are also the ones that have the bulk of the guns.



People need to get out more … and that’s coming from someone who understands that he needs to get out more.

TIL that ‘Dramatic Reading of Comic Books’ is a thing.

I am sure a lot of readers are nodding there head vigorously … ‘yup yup yup’?

Am I right?


Why humanity is doomed …

A Google Screen Grab asking a question about New Zealand

🍹 ‘Bars Of The World’ - a series.

I’m not sure - but this MIGHT be the tallest Pepper Mill I have seen that is there just as a Pepper Mill - not as some objet d’art.

Anybody asked a young person what they think of 🍎’s announcements?

More ‘déclassé’.


Money

That ain’t workin', that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

watch

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money, (That’s what I want)
That’s what I want

watch

Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you’re okay
Money
It’s a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

watch

For the love of money
People can’t even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they’re gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

watch

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world

watch

Interesting that Substack now (ok - for a while now) have handles …and in the format of mastodon et al. It got me to wondering if they are going to tie into the Fediverse?

In case you want to come over and say hi … Hi


🔗 Annual profit: $750 million … I wonder how much CNN would be sold for? My guess? Waaaaaay less than ‘a Twitter’.


I’ve had a minimal menu for a while - but I think it is now more accurate.

Next job is to clean up the page behind The Rest

Search versus Search

For the longest time I have had the wonderful plugin 🔗 ’Search Space’ by @sod running on my site. It is truly fantastic - use it all the time to find post I know I have written in the past - that I want to link to - like here .. imagine how long that would have taken to build without a powerful search.

I also use Hitchens by @pimoore for my site, and Pete rather conveniently included ‘Search’ as part of his template. Not sure what he is doing behind the scenes to make that work - but like all of Hitchens - it just worked out of the box.

But … BUT … ever since installing @sod ’s plugin, having two searches has annoyed me, but I lived with it. Although I knew how to hide the built in search in CSS, I did NOT know how to identify the element that needed hiding, Until NOW.

Thanks to Jason I can now find and identify the elements I need to drop into the CSS. (Again, I new all about ‘Inspect’, but for whatever reason I had a mental block when it came to finding the specifics.)

No longer - and as a result, I now have only 1 🖇️ Search on my site.

No idea if @sod is reading this - maybe I will ping him separately - and find out if he is working on an update - because I do have a few ideas.
