Bugs Fighting Back! The Scott Pelley Whack! AI Bots Keeping Track! L.A. on Crack!

Number One on the list: Mosquitos.

I always knew “social” media was anti-social, but this is ridiculous.

“Tick that causes meat allergy” (The Hill)

Humanity spent thousands of years eating the animal kingdom.

The animal kingdom has finally hired legal counsel.

The lead attorney appears to be a tick.

But wait… could this be part of the Bill Gates “fake meat” agenda supported by global elites and Big Pharma?

“Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley is FIRED by CBS after bitter blow-up at new boss amid crisis at network” (Daily Mail)

I imagine Scott Pelley believed he was indispensable.

As Charles de Gaulle is noted as having said, “The graveyards are full of indispensable people.”

“Ukraine’s drones hit St. Petersburg military targets in second wave of attacks” (The Telegraph)

Ukrainians have endured years of air raid sirens, interrupted sleep, and uncertainty.

Now some Russians are experiencing a measure of the same anxiety.

Not because Ukraine possesses overwhelming force, but because technology has democratized reach.

“Bot web traffic has overtaken human web traffic, data shows” (NBC News)

57.4% of requests to a selection of websites it hosts are now automated bot requests, while 42.6% are human-generated.

But what are all these bots actually doing?

I posed this question to ChatGPT, which understands the bot world better than any human.

Answer:

• Reading articles nobody else will read.

• Summarizing articles nobody asked them to summarize.

• Scraping websites that were scraped yesterday.

• Comparing prices for products nobody intends to buy.

• Filling out forms.

• Clicking links.

• Training other bots.

• Arguing with other bots.

• Following other bots.

• Liking posts generated by other bots.

• Inflating traffic statistics for executives presenting PowerPoint slides.

In short, much of the internet now resembles a cocktail party attended entirely by publicists.

One AI agent visits 5,000 websites to perform a task a human would accomplish by glancing at five.

Meanwhile, publishers spend fortunes creating content.

Humans stop visiting. Bots arrive instead. The bots read the content. Then summarize it for humans who never visit the publisher.

The old internet was people looking for information.

The new internet is machines looking for information about information for other machines.

Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a venture capitalist is calling this “engagement.”

“What would Jesus drink? Welcome to the age of Christian energy beverages” (The Guardian)

The remarkable thing about modern America is not that we commercialize things.

It is that we commercialize everything.

Every belief becomes merchandise. Every principle becomes a brand. Every conviction becomes a market segment.

And now even salvation comes in mango flavor.

“California Primary 2026” (CalMatters)

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has garnered the highest vote count in a city plagued by homelessness, crime, and catastrophic failure with regard to fire control and rebuild policies.

Does this mean most people who live there are stupid?

Or are “mail-in” ballots harvested—maybe from homeless camps and cemeteries — by a “proactive” Demo Party machine?

Karen has already demonstrated she couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery.

The real piss-up is on L.A.’s streets. Literally.

Our slogan: Voting for Bass is like passing gas.

L.A. possesses the largest election apparatus in America, complete with vast budgets, sophisticated technology, and armies of workers.

So…. why does it take so long to count the votes?

Updates arrive in tiny increments, as though ballots are being carried down from the mountains by mule.

Which means either the system is far less efficient than advertised and badly needs an overhaul—or something is going on that smells worse than the Salton Sea at the height of the summer.

“Unexplained Signal Interrupts Satellite Bandwidth” (Journal of Cosmic Anthropology)

Apparently, the source identifies itself as “Kaelor of Velorium, Ithryss Expanse.”

So… is this the beginning?

If so, it appears to be beating both Donald Trump and Steven Spielberg to the punch.

NASA, of course, dismissed it as an AI generated hoax.

The actual message: “Human civilization increasingly rewards visibility over wisdom. Velorium experienced a similar destabilization before the Collapse Era.”

What a week—whew!

“WE GIVE A HOOT!”

And you should too.
