The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

The surrealistic stream of consciousness of FOX late night radio

From time to time, I like to listen the the surrealistic stream of consciousness that is FOX late night radio, between 9 PM and 12 AM. It's astonishingly adaptable, you know? Just a few months ago you could hear rants for hours ridiculing and condemning transsexuality, non-stop. Really! As little as a month or two ago, you could hear guests gleefully describing all Democrats as "Islamo-Communists". Really! However, if you listen to FOX late night now, things have rather abruptly changed. A lot! Suddenly, FOX late night is focused almost entirely on apolitical news stories like the issues with AI, and sometimes the best ways of funding sports stadiums. And, learned university professors are heard discussing them, too. Really! Actually, FOX late night is almost beginning to sound like NPR radio on a particularly slow news day. Now to be fair, and entirely accurate, FOX late night does occasionally still have clips ridiculing Kamala Harris, and saying how stupid she is. But, you know, that really doesn't have much bearing on current news and politics at all, does it now? Is this out of pure nostalgia, perhaps? Of course, it's pretty obvious what's going on here. Even the most diehard conservatives at FOX broadcasting recognize that the Republicans are heading into an electoral disaster of epic and historic proportions in a few weeks. They recognize that MAGA has failed miserably, and has become a lunatic fringe constituency of the extreme right wing, rather quickly. That's probably because all of their policies have now been tried by Donald Trump, and have failed miserably, and spectacularly. Democrats are probably going to take full control of congress, both House and Senate, possibly by substantial margins. Donald Trump will be cut off at the knees, all his policies will be reversed, he will be impeached, possibly removed from office and imprisoned. So, FOX is trying to reposition itself, rather quickly, much, much closer to the center of the political spectrum, both for ratings and legal purposes. Makes sense, doesn't it? #foxradio #foxnews #foxlatenight #fox #npr #media #massmedia #uselections #maga #republicans #democrats #donaldtrump #politics #geopolitics #conservatives #kamalaharris #uscongress #ushouse #ussenate #uslaw #uspolitics
