Sorry about that.  This proves the old adage:  “There’s nothing so foul that men won’t pay to see it naked on the Internet.”  (Okay, that’s not so old:  I just coined it.)

Here’s a palate cleanser:

...only about 10 million to go, then.  As the actress said to the bishop:  harder and faster, please.

...considering that a common factor among older men is a need for woody-poppers and age-related glaucoma, I can’t see the problem.  Also:  older men already do eye health monitoring, to get stronger eyeglass prescriptions so they can see Paige Spirinac more clearly.

And that’s the news.

Flock Off

Surveillance Society, Technology

And then we have this little collection of reindeer games:

A quiet battle is happening across the US right between towns working to adopt Flock Safety systems and those trying to ban them entirely. From major cities like Los Angeles canceling its Flock contract to towns wrapping Flock AI cams in plastic bags because Flock won’t take them down, it’s a wild time for surveillance and questions about government accountability.

But what happens when you start seeing Flock’s now-recognizable solar panels and AI cameras going up in your neighborhood? What happens when they start to recognize your car or even individual people?

I don’t want to say what I really feel, at this point, because I may get into trouble.  Still, being who I am, I can’t help thinking of this kind of solution:

Then, purely in the spirit of scientific inquiry, I’m wondering if this might work:

Curious, that’s me.  But if you’re going to test the stuff, you may want to get some soon before it mysteriously starts to vanish off the shelves at Home Depot, or from Amazon’s warehouses.

Quote Of The Day

Old Age, QOTD

From The Divine Sarah, talking about depression:

“Anyway, part of the black dog these days is telling me that I’m done. I’ve done what I could, and now it’s over, and it’s time to shuffle quietly into that good night.”

I think pretty much everyone reaches that stage — I know I have — and I have nothing but respect for people who continue to do serious stuff well into their eighth decade (e.g. the current POTUS).

My old friend Max, he of the Busker Chronicles, put it in his usual cynical fashion:  “Now all we have to do is wait for death.”

I find it increasingly difficult to summon up the enthusiasm to write about much — yesterday’s post about the German car business was one of the few times I could be bothered, because I was actually interested in the phenomenon that is German stupidity.

Otherwise, it’s one big shrug after another.

The only thing that continues to interest me is going “once more into the breech*”, i.e. shooting.

And now, if you’ll excuse me…

*I know, it’s “unto the breach”, thank you Shakespeare’s Henry V.
