JFK declassified documents spoiler: Donald Sunderland’s character was 100% right
With everything in the news in the past couple of months, I have a few thoughts:
-At least something is being done, it’s just HOW it’s being done is fucked up.
-This country is being run by the type of managers I hate: those assholes that are the ones who want chaos, and whatever comes out of it, despite the fact it ruins a lot of productive and positive momentum, they take credit like they were the ones that motivated their people.
I have been watching Yellowstone for the first time and is it wrong to say it’s the modern version of “Dallas”? Great show
If we had half of the “experts” watching and analyzing the Julian Alvarez penalty from the UEFA Champions Leagues League game go and analyze the JFK assassination film, we’d know who exactly from the deep state did him in.
We need to bring back the phrase “Cock of the walk” back.
Why is it every time I see a picture of Kash Patel he looks like he was deprived of oxygen as a newborn or he’s somewhere on the spectrum? His lapdog Dan Boningo looks like he’s as “alpha” as Pete Hegseth, where they enjoy the view from a cuck chair as their wives are being handled by real men
Violence is never THE answer, but it is AN answer and life is a series of multiple choice answers
Call me petty, but one of the joys in life to me is seeing someone who fucked you over when you tried to be the best person for them have their life collapse and they are batshit crazy, while putting the facade they are somehow strong and suddenly spiritual. It’s called “That’s what you fucking get”.
Bonus is also finding said person’s mother, sister, stepfather, and some other close people close to that person are pushing daisies.
Bad original work is better than any synthetic talking points
I know I’m not a great writer. I am not trained to write, and I am as structured as a condemned building. What I have going for me is that I have original thoughts. I know someone who has somehow conned their way into a job where their bosses tell them what to write. This “writer” claims to have been published in all these different publications, but is it really being published when their organization bought space in a publication and this “writer” was chosen to copy and paste the organization’s hack talking points?
Posting this as often as I can. Let’s see how long it takes me to get tossed off X
Bravo “reality” shows are just pro wrestling shows with Prada bags
I love pro wrestling. I have since I was 9. It’s a fun diversion from things and I am always impressed with the physical and theatrical aspects of it. It entertains me. People mock it, but that’s ok. I do find humor with women mocking it but have the audacity to say the Bravo reality shows are somehow higher brow entertainment.
I and my wife went to a live show of her favorite podcast at Town Hall in Manhattan last weekend.
Data Analysis update
I have been learning data anaysis software and languages. So far I have been exposed to languages like SQL and Python and software as Excel (well, learning how to utilize it for data analysis and cleanup), and Tableau. I really like using Escel and tableau but I see the value in Python and SQL. RIght now I am looking to do a final project on Tableau for the course I am taking.
Fly, Eagles Fly
The Super Bowl is coming up, and I am backing the Eagles to win it. I have no issues with the Chiefs, I actually like them. I’m not a fan of the calls they get, but hey by any means necessary in football and in life. I’m rooting for the Eagles for several reasons. I like Philly as a city, they are more fun than New York and how they get behind their pro teams.
Confirmation hearings are pathetic to watch and the people running them are as well
Imagine this:
You get an opportunity to interview for a job. You have to have your background checked (which is normal operating procedure), and you have to disclose any and all potential conflicts of interests. You talk to some employees at the company to see what’s the temprature of the management.
Finally the day comes and you get to meet with some of the senior members of the company. You sit down and start talking, and most of the interview is more about anything and everything they found in your past,much of which is irrelevent to the role you are interviewing for.
Just thinking about the California fires and the news of insurance companies backing out on their paying customers' policies. This is akin to the insurance firms dropping Floridian customers due to hurricanes. It’s disgusting they can do that,and it’s just simply so itdoesn’t affect the stock price. That nonsense is so fucked up.
To me companies in the Insurance, Pharmaceutical, and Health Care should be forbidden to be publicly traded. That leads to corruption and insance policies that have no base in logic or fairness.
FINALLY!!!
Domain and site are connected
so, my domain isn’t pointing to my page yet. Haven’t done domain stuff in a while. Fun Fun Fun.
Also learing more about what I can do with the site server. It’s like peeling an onion and finding more stuff that is possible to do
Welcome to the NEW petemarus.com!!!
At least I hope it’s working at this point.
I was on squarespace for years, but I never really utilized it, plus it costs me a bunch of money. I also like the service I’m using now (micro.blog) because it makes it easier to POSE (Post Ojnce, Syndicate Everywhere). I hopefully will get my ass to do more short posts here. If you came here from typing petemarus.
Congestion pricing: all you people who had a hard-on for it and got what you wanted better hold the scum you elected to their word. The MTA said we will all see massive and drastic improvements immediately, so I expect to see all trains and stations at Montreal or DC levels of cleanliness and aesthetic by next year
Yesterday my daughter and I opened up one of her gifts: a Playshifu reading and vocabulary game that hooks up to an iPad. Seeing her use it and understanding how it works almost made me cry. Cry in a way I was so happy to see her playing with something and (hopefully) learning. We have some of the Osmo playsets as well, but up until now it looked like they were gone.
I will write more later, but a couple of things: -Copilot is better than ChatGPT as far as I’m concerned -Starting to try to do projects in Python and SQL to make a portfolio in hopes to find a job in data analysis -petemarus.com may go away in the form it is now and become something new. -the month of December depresses me a lot, and I may look at therapy about it
Happy Festivus everyone!
My observations of various social media platforms:
-X is the purest form of free speech once you get through the shitty ads in the feed. -Bluesky is less aggressive X, and just enough leftist complaining about how they hate how the real world works. Threads is if you take your most annoying friend or ex and made it into a social media feed. It’s just bitching and moaning to the point it’s not fun to be around.
One of the reasons the division is so deep in the country is how segregated people choose to be. I tell any kid looking at college to go to a school that’s located at the opposite environment you live in. I left NY and went to Penn State because I needed a change. It was the best move for my mind and personal feelings.
Live outside where you are from and you learn empathy more and understanding that life isn’t supposed to be “one way” and there is several ways to live.
LOL Bears.
