Motor Vehicle Accident in a terrible storm outside Work down in our rapidly changing planet

Staring thru the windows at traffic in the storm. Tuesday the 9th of November 2021.

Earlier today during a unseasonably ferocious storm somehow a driver got their car got turned around the wrong way on the freeway. The driver immediately drove South into Northbound traffic and crashed. Up on the interstate right outside the huge Downtown Seattle REI store where I work in outdoor adventure retail. I-5 was elevated across the way where it bisected the city and funneled traffic onto and off the mighty Ship Canal Bridge. We watched big tow trucks with flashing lights lumber into traffic to clear the wreckage. Continue reading →

Apple’s Siri tells a schoolteacher in a classroom full of young Deaf children to, “Suck my Titties!” LOL!

Once upon a time before the Covid Pandemic struck, a Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing teacher brought her new iPhone to work. She was so PROUD of her new iPhone. The mobile device was a sophisticated piece of technology she regarded with amazement. Twas nearly magical! Her iPhone integrated well with the other tools Deaf and HOH people require to function at a higher level in our complex society. Oh, she was SO proud of her new tool-toy! Or is toy-tool a better description? Depends on the desired function at time of use! For one thing she used her iPhone to FaceTime Hearing people and read their lips and facial expressions. She could also sign in ASL with others who communicated in sign language as well.

This woman taught at a prestigious and world renowned school for Deaf children in the Southeastern United States. She’s a person whose politics skew quite a bit to left of center, but her personal values and lifestyle are rooted in traditional conservatism. Fascinating, brilliant human being with a riveting life stories, and she made me promise not to reveal her name and the name and location of the school she taught at on the day of the incident.

The teacher propped up her iPhone on a desk at the front of the class and asked Siri a question. Siri is the artificial intelligence programmed into Apple products with a feminine voice to algorithmically respond to human inquiries, commands, and requests. Siri was ready to go.

Teacher asks question.

“Suck my titties!” Siri responds. Continue reading →

HAS THE WORLD CHANGED?

A Homeless Man asks a question with his pants down, but can anyone really answer?

Gawd, now I know I’m back in my beloved but gone-to-hell Seattle. While changing buses at Northgate Way & Aurora Avenue on my way home from a long trip to North Carolina, I came upon a homeless man of about 40 years old who also happened to be Black and bearded. He stood on the edge of the curb on the west side of Aurora next to the crosswalk, cupped his hands up to both sides of his face, and bellowed out into traffic:

“HAS THE WORLD CHANGED? HAS THE WORLD CHANGED?”

“WELL, HAS IT?” was my automatic response tho only in my mind.

My second response was the temptation to shout at him to pull his damn pants up, but that was before I listened to him.

Then he rhythmically pulls down his dirty gray sweat pants and shows his naked ass to the whole wide world and then swings his cock up and out across the way like the neck and head of a goose jerking forth from a lake. It looked large and waxy in the harsh, September sunshine. Pulls his pants back up with this tip of his penis perched upon his waistband like a damn peacock peeking out. Damn, I looked away, away, AWAY!, but, OH GAWD was too late as it all happened in a flurry of seconds as the crossing lights hadn’t changed yet. Couldn’t unsee this mess. Felt transfixed, no, crucified, crucified! Felt crucified by the clarity of his call and response during the middle of our long, apocalyptic slide into Armageddon. Continue reading →
