In January 2007, Michael Bierut redesigned the Doomsday Clock to give it a more modern feel. Well, who wouldn’t want the symbol of global doom to be stylish and modern? Don’t be showing up here all doomy with a Timex from 1947! Depressed scientists shouldn’t be allowed to speak in public.

I would drive the walkable 0.7 miles to the local grocery store (it is California, and we are all about the environment, you know) to pick up carrots, dead cow, dead Babe (i.e. pork, or pig), and poultry, (there are no movie famous chickens, except for that little one, what was his name?

Life is harder now, and easier. Thanks, Governor Nuisance, for locking us all indoors to die, but I found a way to live through your political bull shirt (Apple auto kermit is so kool).

As usual, it’s 97 degrees on the F scale, and 100% humidity on the swampy-ass scale. COVID is here, but the related California insanity is not. A stranger just bought me a beer, and I smell barbecue. Two hopefully unrelated facts,
Like most people these days, I’ve been locked indoors too long. To pass the time, I have been watching a lot of foreign films on Netflix and Amazon without subtitles. I just assume I know the language and imagine my own dialogue. I wonder what a subtitled porno would be like. “Hey! Don’t put that in there! Yeah, that’s probably going to make you nauseous. Gross.” She is going to get a sunburn being outside like that.
