Russia just hit a Ukranian maternity
hospital. As usual, examine claims carefully. Misinformation is all over the place.
Russia has taken over the abused Chernobyl nuclear plant, with radiation levels rising 20% around it. Russia also plans to take over a tie factory, a furniture outlet that is going out of business, and a McDonald's

And then there's Existential Agita: wondering what it's all about and your place in it. After thinking about it for a while, I realized it all revolves around the dog. I pick up her toys and serve as a cushion or mattress for her. The other night, in a recliner, she jumped up, straightened out, plopped down, and went to sleep. I was just supposed to lay there, like a flounder, until she decided to stop laying there. And I did. Nobody ever said I was bright.
Musicians are hooking up synthesizers to

Also pants, tomatoes, folding chairs, and wives.

Britain to start approval process for Rolls-Royce mini nuclear reactor
Green energy, blah blah blah.
Well yes, it will lessen the need for fossil fuels, but.... ummm... you still have to purchase and dispose of nuclear fuel. That doesn't seem to have been addressed.
Hey Bob, how's your reactor?
Great, Jim. Just gotta get a few new fuel rods.
Bob, I happen to have a few half-used. Would they be helpful?
Jim, you're my savior. All I have is a garage full of spent rods. I can't get anyone to come pick them up and take them to the disposal site.
Where is the disposal site?
You know, I don't know. I don't remember the sale paperwork mentioning it. Let me check... hmm.... startup.. wattage... ah, here we are - disposal. "You are on your own, sucker."
I vaguely remember there being a site in Yuma, Arizona.
Yuma? It cost me $25 to send a t-shirt to Detroit, and that was without the Special Nuclear Fallout Rate.
But still, we're not using fossil fuels and contributing to global warming.
Yeah, we can sure feel smug about that, yessir.
Scenario #2
Hey Bob, how's your reactor?
Same as yours, Jim. After getting rid of fossil-fuel generation, we can't get nuclear fuel because Homeland Security says it can be used for a dirty bomb.
Yeah, we kinda screwed the pooch on that one....
Hey, if your day isn't terror-filled enough, a species of 3"

Is Samsung the latest Android device maker
throttling apps?
This is a weird story at this point. Why throttle apps at all? Interestingly, it does not throttle benchmarking apps, so the phone looks way speedier than it is.
Now that LG is out of the phone business (my last two phones were LG), android folks are at a bit of a disadvantage: last I looked you can have any phone you want, so long as it's a Samsung or Google. Samsung also has a reputation as the most data-stealing company out there, at least for tv. You have to agree or the tv won't work. I'm sure the phone isn't far behind.
So there's no serious competition in the market. My provider keeps sending me deals on Samsung phones and I won't touch them. When it's time for a new phone, I'm in trouble.
- Happy Birthday to Mickey Dolenz and Robin Trower, both 77
I'm a curious guy, who needs to know how things work.
At this moment, I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to know about the container of chocolate milk blocking the stinky soap in the bathroom. Ya know, I might let this one go. I'll just be thankful the chainsaw is no longer there and go about my day.
I spend days with the fond memory of my friend, who had a large, red Craftsmen air compressor in the living room. But it caused a problem, in that I could not possibly keep up with this sort of thing. I can't afford random large tools. I found a huge blue tube tester, which Wife was perfectly ok with, for the living room. Unfortunately it was too expensive. Price obviously is a consideration when decorating. The late 70s Camaro, oriented vertically in the dining room, is certainly a great talking piece, as are the dust rottweilers (do NOT get near them). I learned by experience not to put your battery-powered radio on top of the tube radio because the heat will do really nasty things to the batteries.
It's fscking snowing. Two days ago, I had to turn on a fan because it was ridiculously hot and stuffy. The next day, we went back to heaters. In Pennsylvania, we continue to set up a national telethon to raise money for a climate.
If I were an actual writer, I'd start out something like this.....
When I awoke, I first got out of bed and looked out the window. It was gray outside. It is always gray outside. The catch is to figure out which of the 255 shades of gray it is. As I beheld Gray #42, I looked across at my departed neighbor's house. There was a lot of love for her, all over the neighborhood. Love was not solely from her neighbors - it was from the birds she fed, each with special bird food mixes. Her loss was a big one. As I looked over, I noticed the other night's storm knocked down a small piece of decorative wood from her fence. Normally this would have been fixed the next day. However, this just sat; a sad indicator of our loss.
Meanwhile, a branch fell off my tree and destroyed someone's fence.
This is why I'm not an actual writer.
No, really. Many bloggers consider themselves writers. You do not have to worry about that here at ThermionicEmissions. I have no delusions. Well, no delusions of being a writer anyway. I'm barely a typer.
Ya know, it's not so easy being an olympic athlete like us: I compete in Napping, she competes in the 400' Wallet Losing race.
Sure, anybody can nap, but competitive napping is different entirely.
I warm up for my naps. If my nap is at 5pm, I put myself on the couch, like Zen, starting at 4pm. Sometimes I prepare for my nap by napping, but only on work days. In the off season, I teach napping at the college level, but that doesn't mean I don't keep training.
Part of an athlete's performance is his tools. I happen to endorse Sleep Number mattresses, but only because it's a product I actually use. I have turned down endorsement deals with Nike, My Pillow sheets, and Holley Carburetors, because I don't use them. They are not integral to my performance. I had to explain this to Whirlpool refrigerators and Gutter Helmet too. Whirlpool got sneaky and teamed up with Yoo Hoo, claiming that a cold Yoo Hoo was necessary both before and after a nap. While this is sound logic, I don't have a Whirlpool fridge and won't whore myself out, like Shaq. Shaq is almost as rich as Lord Zuck and Bill Gates combined. He wipes his backside with $1,000 bills, but he takes any ad he can get. I have integrity and won't do that. I am curious, however, about what it's like to wipe with $1,000 bills, but I shan't know that. My friend has a bidet but I'm afraid to ride it.
As for Wife, losing a wallet is a deeply personal event, so I can't comment on every facet of her preparation. Obviously you have to start with a wallet. Starting in 2026, everybody will be given a standard wallet, which we believe is unfair. Every team, including the Russians, is on strike, because a wallet is a personal possession and it's just not the same with a standard wallet. The Russian team is not aware they have already been disqualified for lobbing explosives into other countries over whether or not there should be a change pouch on the wallet. The Ukranians claim that a change pouch will weigh down the wallet and make it more difficult to lose. They obviously don't know my wife. Ya know how you go into a newly-built home; all you see is walls and maybe a carpet? She could lose her wallet there. Her advantage is that she doesn't have to leave the home to lose her wallet, where every other country can only compete outside the house.
The 2022 Olympics were scandalized when China thought the event was wallet-finding, and cheated with those little locator things for their iDevices. Asked for comment, China said, "No we didn't." After the judges showed the Chinese the little locator things, China said, "No we didn't."
Tools for wallet-losing are not as specific as for napping, but more diverse. Because of the diversity, Joe Biden had wallet-losing added to the Olympics. She prefers a house with one floor. Miscellaneous Stuff all over the place, in uniform piles. This makes it harder to lose things. Last year she broke an unofficial record, involving a wallet, altered mental status, the police, and the Happy Place<tm>. The wallet was eventually returned by a neighborhood ferret. She does not go easy on herself. Just yesterday, she lost her wallet twice in one day! She's ferocious in competition.
So we ask that you give generously to the Olympic associations, so these sports can continue to fund themselves with sofas and wallets.

Some of the most bizarre search results come from Amazon. I needed a specific product, so I put in the name. I got 147 results, none including the name. I had to go through each search result to see if it was the correct one, and of course it wasn't. I only use Amazon when I can't find something elsewhere. They'll get by without my money.
- Speaking as an expert, or an eager consumer, the Ben & Jerry's flavor with Steven Colbert on it (vanilla with caramel and chocolate-covered cone bits) is just ok. We still prefer Karmel Sutra. Haagen Dazs vanilla bean too. That is all.
I've always joked about social influencers. No company has ever approached me to be an influencer (and who would blame them?). I definitely could not pull off Smug like they do. Then there's my few blog followers and the fact I haven't been on Twitter in a few years. Forgetting that, I wonder who'd contact me....
- Oscar Meyer bologna
- Bachman Cheese Jax
- Coke, San Pelligrino grapefruit drink
- ice cream
- Fender guitars
- definitely NOT Apple
- Apple's Thunderbolt cable is $159
- I have never swiped left or right
a truly motley crew. Yeah, it's probably better they don't contact me. I'm the anti-influencer. When I try a product, people stop using it.
