    Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    April 9, 2025 - By ginny

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong? Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    ProtoArc XK03 Ergonomic Foldable Keyboard User Manual

    April 7, 2025 - By ginny

    Post: About a year ago, I picked up this useful little folding ergonomic Bluetooth keyboard, the Seenda KTU-403. But it’s apparently been discontinued, and some of the multifunction keys are starting to spit out weird characters. Fortunately, I’ve stumbled on to some weird key combos so that I can keep using them – they aeem to have different emulator settings or something. Meanwhile, can’t find the manual, scuffled into a drawer or online. Fortunately, after searching for the model number, the manual for a very similar product popped up, probably made by the same manufacture under another marque. So hokay,…

    April 3, 2025 - By ginny

    Post: Dammit, #HANDSOFF the National Endowment for the Humanities!

    Why Can’t Bircherism Die Already?

    April 2, 2025 - By ginny

    Why can’t we have nice reality? Why do conspiracy theories never die? And why is “the liberal media” not very liberal, and mostly corporate?

    Musk not only billionaire pumping cash into the most expensive court race in U.S. history

    March 31, 2025 - By ginny

      Post: Do political ads really influence elections? Don’t most voters tune them out? Or do yard signs and radio/tv ads actually have impact? In Wisconsin, political parties can steer unlimited amounts to candidates. State Sen. Jeff Smith, a Democrat and a minority leader, called the spending frenzy “obscene.” “There’s no reason why campaigns should cost as much as they do,” he said.   Link: Musk not only billionaire pumping cash into the most expensive court race in U.S. history

    March 30, 2025 - By ginny

    The table runner that’s been a UFO (unfinished quilting object) for more than a year is nearing completion.  Now it’s time to put it on a long strip of batting, backed with a long strip of backing fabric, in a “quilt sandwich.” But oh noes, the fabric I plan to use isn’t long enough…
