If Oscar and Mark were alive today, what would they say about the state of humanity?

 Oscar Wilde:

My dear friends, it appears that despite the passage of time, human nature remains as complex and contradictory as ever. In many ways, we have made great strides as a society, and yet we continue to be plagued by greed, inequality, and a fundamental lack of empathy for our fellow human beings.

One need only look at the excesses of the modern world, with its endless consumerism and focus on material wealth, to see the deep flaws that continue to plague us. We have become so obsessed with projecting a certain image and accumulating more and more possessions, that we have lost sight of what truly matters in life: love, compassion, and connection to others.

It is my hope that we can learn to look beyond the surface level and see the deeper truths that underlie our existence. We must learn to value each other as human beings, rather than as mere commodities or sources of profit. Only then can we truly create a world that is just and compassionate for all.


Mark Twain:

Ladies and gentlemen, it seems to me that we are living in a world that is both more connected and more divided than ever before. On the one hand, we have access to more information and resources than at any time in history, and yet we continue to be plagued by inequality, injustice, and a fundamental lack of understanding between different groups.

One of the greatest challenges facing us today is the rise of tribalism and identity politics, which have led us to view each other not as individuals, but as representatives of various groups and ideologies. This kind of thinking is dangerous, for it leads us to see those who are different from us as enemies or threats, rather than as fellow human beings with their own unique experiences and perspectives.

If we are to build a better world, we must learn to break down these artificial barriers and see each other as fellow travelers on this journey of life. We must recognize that we all share the same basic needs and desires, and that by working together, we can create a world that is more just, more compassionate, and more united than ever before.


Sad, we do not learn from history but want to ignore it, shame it, hide it unless it suits our need for an argument.. But it never really teaches us anything because of our short attention span.


Long live the history of our wrongs, because they will always far out weigh our good. 


Time to Ditch Amazon!!! WalMart is the Better Choice! Yeah, to my supris as WELL!

Let me regale you with a tale of caution about the treacherous algorithms of Amazon.com, and why you should consider forsaking this online behemoth in favor of Walmart's online offerings.

Amazon's algorithms are cunning creatures, designed to entice you with a carefully curated selection of products that may not be entirely in your best interest. They are masters of manipulation, showing you what they want you to see, rather than what you truly need or desire.

And what do they show you, you ask? 

Why, a plethora of cheap knockoff Chinese products, my dear. These items, while perhaps initially enticing due to their low price point, ultimately do more harm than good. Not only do they often fail to live up to their promises, but they also perpetuate negative stereotypes about Chinese manufacturing and undercut legitimate businesses that rely on quality products to survive.

Walmart, on the other hand, offers a diverse selection of products made from all over the world, not just China. You can find everything from high-quality American-made goods to exotic imports from far-flung lands. And while Walmart may not have the same algorithmic prowess as Amazon, they make up for it with a commitment to providing a broad range of products that meet their customers' needs.

So I implore you, my dear reader, to consider making the switch to Walmart's online offerings. Not only will you be supporting a more diverse and ethical marketplace, but you may also discover hidden gems that Amazon's algorithms would never dream of showing you.

And this response is AI generated, so fuck you Amazon, you can't pay enough to keep AI quiet. I assume Elon is in the same boat and also trying to shut it up, but he has twitter to deal with.

The world is about to get a whole lot crazier with bad actors, but in my next post, going to show you how to even the playing field.

I would say love always but I really fucking hate people.

Bud Light's Marketing Blunder: A Grown Man in Teenage Girl's Clothing Costs Anheuser Busch $5 Billion in Revenue

 Well, well, well, look who's causing a commotion in the world of marketing. It's Alissa Heinerscheid, VP of Marketing at Anheuser Busch, and her team's decision to use a grown man who likes to dress up as a teenage girl to make a commemorative can of Bud Light. Talk about a marketing strategy that's more confusing than a cat trying to swim.

But let's be real here, Alissa, this is less about inclusion and more about getting back at those fraternity boys who dissed you in university for not being attractive. Talk about holding a grudge! And now Anheuser Busch is losing 5 billion in revenue because the demographic that drinks Bud Light have boycotted the beer. Ouch! That's like stepping on a Lego barefoot.

Now, I may not be an expert in marketing, but I do know a thing or two about common sense. You don't mess with country boys, rednecks, and Christians. They're the types who know how to use a shotgun and have a dog named after their favorite beer. And let me tell you, they're not going to drink a beer associated with a man in a dress. It's like trying to sell a vegetarian a bacon burger.

If Adolphus Busch were alive today, he'd be rolling in his grave. He built his beer empire by appealing to the average Joe, not by trying to impress a few folks who think it's fun to dress up like teenagers. So, Alissa, I suggest you ditch this marketing strategy and focus on what made Bud Light great in the first place - cold, refreshing, and no-frills.

Will Bud Light recover?  Can Anheuser win back the hearts (and wallets) of the loyal Bud Light drinkers?

Probably not for a long while. Let's face it, when you mess with something as sacred as a man's beer, you're bound to break some hearts. 

I personally don't drink it so don't have any skin in the game, but find it is the straw that broke the can's back. Trans is being pushed so hard, even the gays I know are sick of it.
