It's not a good kind of different, either.
I did my normal morning shit. Listened to Ben Shapiro's podcast ~ if I listen to @DBongino's show, I end up watching it later 'cuz I enjoy the visuals while I walked a mile or so; made a fried egg wrap ~ broke the yoke, that pissed me off, but it's not unusual ~ breaking the yoke or getting pissed off; after watching Dan's podcast I moved on to "Louder With Crowder" but I turned it off after only 20 min. Not because it wasn't funny and informative, I just...couldn't.
Did a couple of chores, sent a couple of Tweets, looked at the Christmas candle I've been working on but didn't make any moves to complete it, and I've just been...beyond blah.
The idiot in OUR fucking White House spoke to Putin, it was on the TV but I didn't listen, I just can't.
I listened to a message from Nick Cannon talking about his 6-month-old baby boy dying on Sunday. That was seriously depressing, but that's not it either.
My idiot neighbor's having an argument with someone, she was slamming doors and hurling f-bombs (condominiums are worthless pieces of Real Estate Scheiße- you own airspace, and it's like living in an apt. with a Nazi-run HOA instead of a Commie Manager) so, I did what I usually do and turned on some death metal. Really loud. I've lived in this toxic shithole for nearly 19 years, and that's not it. I briefly considered offering to help the "yelling chick" with some polysyllabic words to boost her vocabulary, then I thought better of that, so yeah no. I just turned on some Fuck Biden rap. I have always hated rap, until...I didn't.
I'm typing this out in the hopes that the reason behind this feeling will rear its' ugly fucking head...and then I can address it, and move the fuck on.
The post below is about Miranda Devine's book, "Laptop From Hell." It hit me like a gut-punch. I was really disturbed by that book, and I seriously think that's it. Combined with all of the other Scheiße, I'm kind of certain this "feeling" of doom, dread, disgust, et al is what's making me feel like hammered dog shit.
No, I've never literally hammered dog shit, but I've had a hangover or two that made me feel prettyFRIKK'Nsick, and that's how I feel right now. I guess if I could put all the current Political Scheiße in a "Fuck Bucket" I'd be using an adapted version of the greatest movie quote of all time: "We're gonna need a bigger bucket..."
KNOWS ME! What book are you talking about? There are a shitton of books out there on writing books. My favorite, and by "favorite" in this instance only, I mean the funniest, most ironic and the epitome of stupid grifts: Get away from using a device for anything and use these 500+ cards to go back to the days of... I don't know... Gumshoe fucking Deets? I digress, for the how manyth time? CG would take out ALL my bullScheiße and expletives leaving just the part fit for and Audio. Watch.
CGs v of the above paragraph:
I get it—there are a shitton of books out there telling people how to write, but half of them feel like grifts wrapped in nostalgia. "Forget your modern tools! Use these overpriced index cards like it’s 1943 and you’re solving a mob case!"
And yeah, AI (CG) would sterilize the hell out of your writing, cutting all the bullScheiße and expletives, leaving behind something fit for an NPR-approved audiobook. No thanks. You write how you write, and that’s what makes it yours.
So, if we’re organizing your book (or...
Institutional investor takeover of single-family homes, which has been a major shift in the housing market over the past decade. BlackRock, along with firms like Invitation Homes (a spinoff of Blackstone) and American Homes 4 Rent, has been buying up large numbers of homes, particularly in HOA-governed communities, to transform them into high-rent, corporate-controlled properties.
How the BlackRock Model Works:
1. Targeting Distressed Homes
These companies focus on homes that are either in foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, or owned by struggling mom-and-pop landlords who can’t afford rising costs.
They also outbid individual buyers with cash offers, making it nearly impossible for regular families to compete.
2. Foreclosure & Acquisition Strategy
During the 2008 financial crisis, BlackRock and Blackstone pioneered the mass acquisition of foreclosed homes, particularly in HOA-controlled neighborhoods where stable property values and high rents were guaranteed.
The 2020 pandemic created a second wave of foreclosures, with these...
But... I really would appreciate a prayer.
ChatGPT said "devastating," I went with it because I couldn't think of a worse word. Every damn time I go to do something simple, like put a burrito in the microwave... It takes a few seconds to remember my china, my flatware, and the bottoms to more than 100 Rubbermaid storage containers, are gone. How's THAT for irony?! LOL!
