This just in: Sponsored spokesperson recommends purchases from their sponsor!

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on here. When stores are selling pre-made Ugly Christmas Sweaters and every Facebuck winemom you know is gushing about their plans for a “novel” ugly Christmas sweater party… the jig is up.

This influencer is gushing about how “maximalist” Christmas décor is back. So go buy more decorations and show everyone how unique and like everyone else you are!

Personally, I’m still sticking to my single string of LEDs in the window. I leave them up all year, just gotta plug them in during the proper season.

By the way, you can buy my recommended single string of LED lights by clicking on my sponsored Amazone link. Also check out this five star Milwaukee impact driver set, perfect for hanging up a single string of LED lights!

That’s right! You thought your job was safe because you were an “artist”?

Nope! That Fine Arts degree was just replaced by Artificial Intelligence. You thought it was bad when animals got copyrights for photographs they took? These things aren’t even alive!

On the other hand, our new robot overlords will still need janitors to sweep up their robot droppings and someone to oil their joints, right?

There will still be a place for a serf class…

Query: “$2 per Question? That’s Insanity!”

Response: Yes, yes it is.

Virtue Signal Statement: “I don’t mind paying $2 a question, because it supports a current global cause and I can virtue signal my piety and grandeur by paying that price and announcing loudly and humbly to my followers on FaceFriend and Twotter that I don’t mind paying.”

Vague Explanation: Question prices are set at a single global value. No matter how much questions cost when pumped locally, the price is not based on that cost. Question producers pump raw questions from the ground and sell them to trivia refineries at “competitive” prices, so if prices are up globally, they will be up locally as well. The cost is passed down to the suckers consumers.

Query: “But Oldman, the question producers and the trivia refineries are all owned by the same trivia barons. What happens then?”

Explanation: Well in that case, you have trivia barons insanely massive profits direct from your pockets! I remember the good old days when I worked at a Trivia station during a summer. Questions were $0.45 on an expensive day. I also remember when all the trivia stations had to add a “$1” to the front of their signs.

Hey, remember Zellers? They are going to be back, in virtual form! (not Pog form)

[Hudson’s Bay Co] says they will “offer a digital-first shopping journey that taps into the nostalgia of the brand.”  

Wow. A shopping journey? Brand nostalgia?

What MBA Big Brain came up with that crap? What exactly is nostalgic about the Zellers brand? Although I do remember the Z diner though. We didn’t go often, but it was decent.

As a digital store, at least you wont get accosted by old ladies in the store when you happen to wear a generic “I totally work here” outfits.

Does anyone care about this? I’m not really a twitter guy, I never got the point of it. I think all its done is highlight the stupidity of a small number of humans in a very public way.

I suppose the only time I paid attention to tweets was during our last major storm, and I did this via the local Hydro Twitter web site.

If there was an 800 number where a robot voice would read the posts, I could have called that.

I don’t have a radio that works on battery, and even if I did I’d have to wait around listening to radio network high rotation garbage music until I get an update that is mostly pointless.

Anyway, Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter again. I guess its better to pay for it now than go to court to see if he will be forced to pay for it?
