Hello, dear Reader, and welcome (back?) on this somber day above ground, for you and I, that is. Beloved heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne has gone to be with the Lord today, this morning according to his family.
May he rest in peace and may the Lord comfort all affected by his loss.
And, it bites me in the behind yet again that I spent so very many consecutive years ignoring all news, politics, et cetera and I'll give you a prime example of why and that's this poor little demonized guy right here:
According to Grok AI, Pepe Frog isn't just "that Internet Frog" I've thought of him as since first seeing him in about 2005, around the time of his creation. No, had I been paying attention, I would have known that Pepe got co-opted by alt-right maniacs, if Grok is to be believed.
So, though the years of bliss for having nothing to do with current events were wonderful, they also crippled me in some unfortunate ways. I mean, am I supposed to research every innocent meme and picture I've been somewhat-familiar with for a couple of decades before posting them again to be sure they haven't suddenly become offensive? I mean, that could happen to anything couldn't it: next it'll be poor little Winnie the Pooh or some other innocuous little doodle whose intent was just to bring some smiles.
I think that the people who sullied this frog suck for doing it. Why can't they make up their own damn cartoon and leave this one alone?
But - again, according to the AI conversation here:
https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_c7076295-95a5-44e4-9a92-248cc4dd9926
You can see the entire 'conversation' (for lack of a better term).
Anyway, Gilda Radner said "It's always something".
She was right.
