Remember Fruit Loops? Why?

Making a more accurate pregnancy test for humpback whales.
YOU be the one to put the damn condoms on.



Know what I hate?
Everything.



  • Drivers of expensive cars less likely to yield for pedestrians, study finds
  • Is this supposed to be a surprise? Give me the money and I'll give you a study about how air is likely to cause breathing.


New AMD supercomputers will help NOAA predict the weather.
Yeah, but can they train it to be wrong every day, like the people on tv?



  • Timex is releasing a GPS smartwatch with 25 days of battery life
  • Don't you already get solid spying with Faceyspaces?


Uber tweaks its app to improve those pesky pickups
Also provides prison record of driver and whether you're more likely to get assaulted or murdered.


New wifi vulnerability only affects over a billion devices. Not to worry.
Unpatched security flaws open connected vacuum to takeover
Internet of Flaws for me, please. A huge frickin slow motion train wreck.


  • Faceyspaces once built a phone that could only be used by right handed people
  • Death is too good for them.


Speaking of Phrases You'll Never hear, I heard this in a meeting today:
"Oh, good, lefty's here!"



Today I identify as   a weather-worn, dilapidated fence post.




  • Boeing acknowledges "gaps" in its Starliner software testing.
  • Boeing is going to acknowledge "gaps" in its ticket sales.



If you've ever awakened on a weekend and said to yourself, "I could really enjoy designing some shirts," and who among us hasn't, here's the site for you.



  • Yes, recycling plants are catching on fire, and lithium-ion batteries are to blame.
  • I can't imagine why, with all the cell phones and electric cars. Within a few years, the greatest hobby will be going to recycling plants and waiting til they explode. Extra points for predicting the right one.



Yes, Hillary Clinton will soon have a podcast, too, like the Obamas and Rick Cruz,
But will it eat babies too?



  • Today in irony: Clearview AI, who slurps up everyone's data and does facial recognition, was hacked. In fact, it lost its entire list of clients to hackers.
  • Please do not mistake the loud cheering for sympathy.


Ubuntu 20.04 default wallpaper revealed!
Holy fuck, Batman - I've been waiting months for this! Can you imagine? I may not sleep til it hits my computer.

These are the same people who got sexually aroused when they found out they could change their phone's bootup animation.



  • Any regular reader of ThermionicEmissions, their children, and various pets know about my feelings for rap/hip-hop. Today I read that Public Enemy (formerly Public Enema) has parted ways with Flavor Flav (real name Marvin Grossman), over a rally for Bernie Sanders. The 'band' said Flav (real name Harry Belafonte) refused to perform for free, citing Bernie Sanders' mantra that everything will be free when he's president. Flav (real name Chandra Wasigvvtghasingh) discovered he's really a republican, after being asked to perform for free. Flav (real name Epigastric Coronavirus) is the rapper on the right, with the hubcap hanging around his neck.
  • Founding member Chuck D (real name Eunice Dubrowski) had the only wise words of the day, in spite of being at a Bernie Sanders (real name Ronald Reagan) rally: "Voting is [as] important as washing your ass in the morning."
  • Asked for a response, Bernie Sanders (real name Old Transvestite) said, "When I am president, washing your ass in the morning will be free."


I am a huge fan of JFK. Not for his achievements, not because of his assassination, but because of his exceedingly comical accent. We haven't had an exceedingly comical accent in the White House since. I wish to make clear that Bernie Sanders' accent is nowhere near comical enough to walk by the White House.


  • Faceyspaces is suing data analytics firm OneAudience for developing a software development kit that spies on its users. Reached for comment, Faceyspaces said, "If there is any spying to be done, Faceyspaces will do it."
  • Faceyspaces privacy tools are riddled with missing data. We here at ThermionicEmissions are shocked.


Coming up is Rare Disease Day.
So go out and get yourself a rare disease. One that science can't cure.


  • How streaming music services saved the industry
  • I guess no one thought about putting out quality music....


lefty's Libertarian Minute

Congress is giving small ISPs $1 billion to rip out Huawei and ZTE network gear.  I was the one who said DC (and the entire country) should rip out Huawei network equipment. If you're on a secure network, it ain't secure with Huawei gear. Now we (it's your tax money) are spending $1 billion to bail out small ISPs. I never really studied economics, but I don't think this is how it is supposed to work. We bailed out the auto industry, which we shouldn't. We help the poor sports team owners build stadiums. Where is our bailout? It should come in the form of greatly reduced taxes. Taxes that won't allow Congress to give out a billion here, ten billion there, and even more in foreign aid. If Congress wanted to set up a fund, to which whoever wants to can contribute, that's perfectly ok. This is Bernie-itis: free bailouts! Free money! 

Nothing is free, Bernie.. it all comes from the people.
