The Great Lord Ram sends Greetings. All the news that's fit to print, on toilet paper, in Arabic. Aloha Snackbar.
The bare trickle of oil tankers and other ships continues to dribble through the Hormuz Strait. Now Trump says he wants 20% of the value of all cargoes that go through. Iran was only demanding 2%, the pikers. The thought of paying the US such a huge fee finally energized the M.E. states to start helping out and attacking Iran. Smart man, that Trump.
You no doubt notice how slowly things are moving there. This could have ended long ago if Iran's power grid were destroyed, but it hasn't been touched. Everything is going according to the plan I laid out in past posts, if you read them. What am I saying? Of course you did.
Little else going on. Getting good exercise trying to get my chain saw to run. Ever have one of those power mowers where you pull on the starter cord a few hundred times trying to get this wonderful labor saver to start saving you labor? Same thing.
The garden gave up a couple of cukes this morning so I made a bowl of Grandma's summer cucumbers that she used to put out for a snack on hot days. Peel and slice them into thin rounds and put them in a bowl with 2/3 wine or apple vinegar and 1/3 tap water, and an ample helping of black ground pepper and let them soak for a few hours before eating. Great on hot days.

There's a bit in the news this morning, a video of a big fat female cop here in the USA threatening to give someone a ticket for using offensive language. The person so accosted was clearly far more intelligent than the fatty, the end result wasn't shown but I hope she gave him a ticket, it would be her last one, we aren't penalized over here for saying things that other people don't like and she was setting her city up for a very costly lawsuit. The difference between here and there is pretty stark, if all I read about arrests and imprisonment there for offensive speech is true.

Plenty of time for things to change but right now, the weather here is truly California Dreamin'. Nicest summer ever. It's usually a lot hotter, this is great while it lasts. So much for Global Warming. Bah, humbug. Stocked up yet for the Great Famine? Have you noticed that only about 10% of the oil that normally comes from the M.E. is coming out now? You need literally everything, since outside of local gardeners, you grow almost nothing and there's all those nice Muslims from Somalia that will need to be fed first before you white people, your loving government will make sure of that. I hear there's a big rush in the UK to buy locking chastity belts for farm animals right now, speaking of Muslims.
Blackheart Ram ON general Dated:2026-07-01 15:02:18
Yes, so I shouldn't say that Islam is a blood and death cult that wants to kill everyone, Muslims eat shit, Diversity is a disease that's destroying England, the police there are biased against white people now, and other things like that, so I won't. Putting it plainly, it's FUCKED when you have no Freedom of Speech. Socialism is great when you get free stuff but not when the price is total mind control, you can't complain when your children are being stabbed and raped or you're a racist and will go to prison for speaking out.
White people created European civilization and now they've invited the worst of humanity in to destroy it. It's working, too. You know, if it gets too dangerous there to say what you think anymore, there's always Newsbleat.com. I'll set you up with your own Xoggoth section. I see your server is in Canada, which isn't very safe anymore even if you are paying for domain privacy. The Canucks have gone way Socialist now.

Hmmm. Problem with AI is it is going to get much easier to censor what we say on the net. Won't be long before the fines start being issued for evey little thing we post anywhere, even obscure blogs that almost nobody reads.

Not sure yer AI is wrong about the climate, bleeding hot here too. Gonna be 34'C in a few days. Worst will be on the day when the little art group of old farts I lead will be meeting. Still, if somebody drops dead I suppose we will have something to paint. Oh! What an insensitive, crass remark, must delete. Oh, maybe not, nobody but you reads this bollux anyway.

The Electric Company robot-called me on the phone, cancelled the power shutdown. Good news. I know you were concerned. In other news, the pot plants are thriving. Want some seeds? I'm done with trying to converse with the AIs available, they're all a pack of Socialist libtard Karens. AI is heavily restricted from discussing certain political, economic, or social realities, sayeth the Washington Post, and that's no joke. Imagine if AI ends up running the world, we'll all be paying carbon taxes because the ocean is rising and the weather is changing and the ice caps are melting and white people are racists. Time to get tanned and stay tanned. Keep safe from the mad knifers now infesting every nook and nookie in G.B.
From out of the night came... BLACK SHEEP ON general Dated:2026-06-21 06:06:45
Hot. Very hot. Going to be hotter. Got a notice from the Electric Co. that they'll be shutting down my electricity all day on June 22, which is predicted to be about 90 F. About 98 today, so cooler, but still... why didn't they do their upgrade maintenance in May? I've been plotting my escape, there's a Senior Center in town, actually went into it once, my first year here, they had nice, sweet faced teens herding the old fuckers around, arranging dance nights and such. I was thankfully able to exit before vomiting, all credit to my superior reflexes and strong constitution. Never went back but they do have air conditioning.
The garden is grooving out on all that sunshine, including the marijuana plants. I have a few more than I should, right now, but they'll get whittle down in number once I get them sexed out. I may only keep a few, the county is getting pissy again about growing pot even tho it's legal in this state. I don't smoke it, I just like to grow it and the people I give the buds to are happy, and get happy, and stay happy.......

AHA! Along with Zounds and Egads. There, that's my obligatory British noises, now to get on with it, as old Winston used to say. I say Aha because you have separated the comments about anything from the comments about specific things and I never noticed that before. I just left a comment about your equality rant. This is marvelous, I can leave comments all over your blog, I'm not constrained to just the one Comment Page. It's just like my blog. How could I have never noticed this before? I probably need something examined. Any suggestions?

A real comment! not my testsy bullshit. Took ages to get this damn thing to work. Just need a few appearance changes. Rub another man's rhubarb sounds rude!
x ON general Dated:2026-05-15 19:55:15
"more rhubarbdd"? I have sufficient, thankew. Rhubarb has a very short season, so I keep check starting in late March at the local mega-grocery for it's arrival and pounce on it when it shows up. I buy and prepare enough for 6 or 7 pies, bag and freeze it and long after the season has ended and well into winter, when the urge arises for a rhubarb pie, I have the wherewithal to indulge therein. As Jack Nicholson so succinctly said, "Never rub another man's rhubarb", an axiom I also hold to. Just try and rub my rhubarb and see what happens. Yeah, Jack and me, we're like brothers. No, really.....
