Dave Bautista checks Trump’s masculinity
Might be the best political attack (humiliation?) ad I’ve seen. Had to look up Dave Bautista.
God will post his bail
This photo tells you everything you need to know about the little town (in southeast Missouri) where I grew up and where irony is in short supply.

“Spanked that ass”
A few of my favorite comments on last night’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump:
“The debate was like watching a sad old man at thanksgiving dinner blather nonsensically as the host fed him and served the guests and entertained everyone and made him a plate of leftovers and put him in a van back home.”
“the vice president “spanked that ass” and Trump looked “small” and “beaten” and “pissed.”

The Jackpot Trilogy
I have a theory…no, let’s call it a fantasy… about William Gibson’s Jackpot trilogy. Specifically, the yet-to-be-published third novel. First, some background via ChatGPT:
William Gibson’s Jackpot Trilogy is a series that delves into the near future, exploring the consequences of environmental, economic, and social changes that push humanity toward a series of cascading disasters, which he collectively refers to as “The Jackpot.” The trilogy consists of three novels:1.The Peripheral (2014): This novel introduces a dual-timeline narrative. One timeline is set in a near-future America, where the protagonist, Flynne Fisher, witnesses a murder through a virtual reality headset, leading her into a complex conspiracy. The other timeline is set several decades later in London, after the “Jackpot” has drastically altered society. The two timelines become intertwined, creating a rich, intricate plot that reflects Gibson’s deep concerns about technology, power, and societal collapse.2.Agency (2020): The second novel in the series shifts focus to another timeline, where an alternate history unfolds. In this world, Hillary Clinton won the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and a form of AI, called “Eunice,” begins to influence events. The narrative continues to explore the implications of advanced technologies and the convergence of different realities.3.The third novel (Title TBD): While Gibson has mentioned that he is working on the third novel in the trilogy, as of my last update, it hadn’t been released or titled yet. This book is anticipated to bring closure to the complex themes and narrative threads established in the first two books.
The “Jackpot” itself is a concept that Gibson uses to describe a series of interlinked crises—climate change, pandemics, economic inequality, political instability—that gradually and cumulatively devastate the world, leading to a starkly divided society. The trilogy examines how these changes impact individuals and the global power structures that emerge in response.
So here’s my fantasy: Gibson has already written the third novel. And he’s given it two different endings: one in which Trump is re-elected in 2024 and one in which he is not.
If AI does nothing else for us…
What are you gonna do?
Trump Stand-up
The genius behind these is someone named Jabari Jones (YouTube). There’s an actor by that name but cannot confirm this is his YT channel. What can I tell you, I’m a sucker for crude humor.
Trump Privately Frets He Could Be Headed to Prison
(Rolling Stone) “Privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like. Would he be sent to a ‘club fed’ style prison—a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go—or a ‘bad’ prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime Secret Service protections? What would they make him wear, if his enemies actually did ever get him in a cell?”
I believe the images above were created by some of the new AI technology that just gets better and better by the day. If I never get to see Trump in a prison jump suit, I’ll always have these.
Should the day come when Trump realizes he is going to spend time behind bars, I suspect he’ll hop on a jet and flee to Saudi Arabia or some country without extradition. But Melania won’t go, no will his children. So in his final days he would be alone, the ultimate loser.
Visiting Day at Fulton County Jail
I’ve long nursed the fantasy of visiting The Orange One in jail. I’m still pretty skeptical he’ll ever be behind bars but it’s fun to imagine so I headed to the Fulton County Jail website to see what I could learn about visiting day.
The Fulton County Jail offers inmates a video conferencing system that will allow residents to speak to an inmate using their computer, phone, or other devices that have internet. The Fulton County Jail also offers a central area where residents without internet access can visit with an inmate using the video conferencing system.
This sounds like visits are online. But the website also has an interesting list of items that are now allowed so maybe we would get to chat through the plexiglass on those old-timey phones.

- Tight fitting clothing such as spandex, leggings, yoga pants, etc.
- Clothing that have holes or rips whether man-made or designer
