Out here in the Hinterlands, it has gotten really quiet. Everyone has gone off to the campgrounds, to the lake, to the cabins, or to the parks to have cookouts.

The temperature has cooled down considerably, so the holiday weekend is just ideal.

Meanwhile, because of the holiday and its being Sunday today, it is really quiet online right now, too.

This is what I have for today.

This is from Friday. I forgot to post it yesterday. You may recall that late last year, we started to hear about a facility called Camp Blaz (in Guam) where the military was holding MSM personalities because Gitmo was getting too full. And the MSM people were being replaced with body doubles and/or deep fakes.

From Real Raw News:

“JAG Convicts Stephen Colbert

The US Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps at Camp Blaz, Guam, convicted talk show host Stephen Colbert of treason on July 26, ending a tardy saga that began when JAG investigators arrested the vaccine-loving liberal outside his Montclair, New Jersey, home in November 2023. […]

[…] He unilaterally pronounced Colbert guilty on the charges of seditious conspiracy, dissemination of enemy propaganda, conspiracy to defraud the United States, possession of child pornography, child sex trafficking, and intent to sexually molest minors.

The sentence was death.

Colbert was hanged three days later.

[The article is long and really grim, but here is the link if you want to read it in full]

(On a personal note — I hadn’t watched Colbert in years, and when I recently saw his great interview with Nick Cave, I thought to myself: I thought Colbert had been arrested? and then I thought: He’s nowhere near as offensive as he used to be. I’m kinda liking Colbert … ah well.)

I listened to this interview with Nick Cave yesterday and it was really great. The best one I’ve listened to so far during the Wild God promotions.

It was with ReasonTV, a conservative and somewhat political channel that I had not heard of before.

And that is really it for today, I think.

On the personal front —

Beginning on Tuesday, I will start working very part-time as a home health aide for a senior care company that I worked for, briefly, many years ago.

I love doing this kind of work and after what I saw my dad go through with home health aides, I felt that I really wanted to return to doing this kind of work again. (My dad had really great nurses in his hospice care, but the home health aides were very frustrating for him. Mostly because they didn’t engage; if he didn’t need something specific, they sat and looked at their phones and ignored him. It broke my heart that he had to deal with that in his own home for several hours, every day.)

Anyway. I’m going to start doing that again on Tuesday and I am looking forward to the personal interaction. People who are looking at the very last stages of life, in my opinion, have very interesting things to talk about.

I also have an interview coming up this week for a part-time job in publishing. Working from home for a publishing company in Upstate NY. I have no clue yet what it would really entail for me time-wise, or what skills they are actually looking for, but I am looking forward to the interview. I’ll post more when it’s appropriate.

And that’s it! This afternoon I work with Sandra one more time before she heads to Playwrights Horizons in Manhattan to begin rehearsals for the new play!

Enjoy your Sunday or your holiday — or both — wherever you are in the world!!!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!
