Cold and foggy Friday

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark. 

I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that the internet is becoming nothing but old shit and bots, has some basis in reality. 

I used to follow a blogger named Morris Berman but he's gone over to something called "Substack" which can't be connected to. "The Archdruid Greer" has some sort of page of his own that's much more obscure and hard to find, "Bison" of "Bison Survival Blog", last I heard, has gone over to publishing an actual paper newsletter. I write this blog not because I expect anyone to read it but because I'm in the habit of writing it. 

Rabb1t just writes about the same old shit and seems to be happy being in the same "place" he was 10 years ago or more. Ran Prieur had a few rough years when he was a lot younger, waiting as most Boomers do, for his parent(s) to die and leave him a house or houses, which he's done, and now he's "shittin' in tall cotton" as the saying goes. It still doesn't keep him from cyber-begging though. 

Surprisingly, I got an email from one of my Hawaii friends, the one with 2-3 houses and tons of stuff, who's (a) worried that the big bad gov't will take it all away (which is what happens when you don't pay your taxes etc.) and yet won't allow anyone to help him. I'm surprised he's still alive, as he said he'd not be by this time. He's got gold-plated fancy engraved health insurance and like any conservative, is taking all the gov't handouts he can, so I guess that's what's keeping him going.
