Don't mind me, I'm just talking to myself

 This the what Wikipedia has to say about hedonism: These  technical definitions  of hedonism within philosophy, which are usually seen as respectable schools of thought, have to be distinguished from how the term is used in  everyday language , sometimes referred to as "folk hedonism". In this sense, it has a negative connotation, linked to the egoistic pursuit of short-term gratification by indulging in sensory pleasures without regard for the consequences. In the state of modern day America, folk hedonism rules. The average American is a gutless loser, incapable of dealing with adversity. My libertarian alter ego feed on Twitter is full of cowardly, self-indulgent assholes perpetually whining about how unfair life is. You’d think it was the end of the world, that they somehow deserve anything their little heart desires. The modern day American is a lazy, stupid fool, readily manipulated by corporate America whose only concern is to bilk the losers. 

 Well, it’s officially hot here in Las Vegas. I was sitting outside reading a geek book on my ipad and the ipad gave up the ghost. The screen showed some graphic and said the ipad had to cool down before it could be used more. The thermometer says its 112 at 2 pm. I guess its time to revert to physical books, at least they don’t overheat at temperatues seen here in Vegas. 

 Well, Twitter has gone off the deep end again. First, i have to prove that i'm not a bot, then the page i'm trying to view in Safari on my ipad refuses to display correctly. The web site constantly crashes and reloads, then Safari says the web site is erroring out. Reload and the same thing happens again. You'd think that after 14+ years in business, they'd know how to program a web page. I guess not.

 According to the Wall Street Journal: Fox’s Dobbs, Bartiromo and Pirro Ask Court to Dismiss Defamation Suit Cable-news hosts say they were covering and commenting on newsworthy claims Why do fake journalists resort to lies and other "alternative facts" when they should provably know the false narrative is only their attempt to placate their radical audience? The only thing the far right wing media knows to do is to deflect blame. So much for personal responsibility that the far right espouses. The far right never accepts responsibility, it only demands others to follow the rules they set.

 well, Tom Cotton has proven is Nazi leanings. According to the New York Times says: Speaking on the Senate floor, Mr. Cotton said that Ms. Haines had clarified that she had no intention of reopening old investigations or retroactively exposing intelligence officers to criminal prosecution. “She’s confirmed that in the written record,” Mr. Cotton said. “I’m glad to see we’re not going to reopen that period. I want to thank Ms. Haines for providing the answer.” this confirms that criminals in the intelligence services will remain unpunished.

 Well NBC News reports in Apple News: The images of the Capitol incursion – broadcast on national television Wednesday afternoon – were jarring. Windows were smashed. Offices were ransacked. Members of the mob manhandled Capitol police officers. That the vast majority were allowed to leave the building and carry on demonstrating marked a stark contrast to the massive law enforcement response that greeted Black Lives Matter protesters during the summer. District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine lamented what he described as the disparate deployment of assets “the federal government put forward with overwhelmingly peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters versus that which we saw yesterday.” Gee, how surprising that another police force colludes with right wing terrorists, and the media bemoans that one of the miscreants gets killed. Why do right wing extremists always get mollycoddled? They aren't even closet authoritarians, they love Donnie-boy, the wannabe autocrat. Anti-pat...
