America PAC Petition Signers Sue Elon Musk (Comic Sands) Interesting conundrum for the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™.

This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.
It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.

I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy.
A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,

I may also post on the blog on your comments.
I use Google ads, and Google Analytics, because Google is watching you anyway. They own blogger.

Commercial Disclosures
Please, send me free stuff, and I will consider doing a review.
I am a complete whore, so assume that any review is the result of free stuff, and/or under the table payments.
I will do my level best to reveal such conflicts when I remember to.
