Contemplating Jaguar’s Crash

It’s everywhere; we cannot avoid it. The news is Jaguar. Jaguar is finished, Jaguar has gone woke, heading to a stock price of a buck. The CEO’s going to be axed. Agreed. But why? That word, why, will no doubt be on my tombstone. I always want to drill down to the reason. I think it’s about creativity. Creativity is dying.

Think about how many re-releases, how many remakes, how many copies we see. Good grief, why remake Snow White? How many Star Wars are there? The VW bus is back, but it’s a Buzz now. OMG. Make something new, for God’s sake. I’ve noticed that, aside from Elon, creativity, new ideas, great leaps forward for society, have disappeared over the horizon. Only Elon is standing in the breach. Why is nobody trying to copy him? Because, no talent and no drive. Too much work to copy Elon and work, well that’s not gonna happen. Too many video games and too many men wanting to be their version of women. That’s insulting, by the way. It’s cultural appropriation. Dark red lipstick, a midriff tank and a falsetto voice make a costume, men. A costume.

What happened to men who couldn’t wait to get a car they could ‘work on’? Where are the greasy hands picking up tools out of the toolbox? Where are the guys building computers…or anything…in the garage? Where are the ideas like having all music in one little rectangular box? What’s the next fiber optic idea? Data at the speed of light stuff? Nobody?

It used to be the case that ideas overflowed from colleges and universities. Art, technology, ideas that pulled society forward at breakneck speeds leapt from campuses, flowed like rivers. But not now. It’s SO bad now that the new Jag ad, for example, actually says, “Copy nothing”. Well I think that’s a subliminal admission that copying is the only way anybody these days can graduate. So Jag jumped onboard the woke train, when it had already left the station. No wonder the knees are scratched and bruised. People who should never be in charge are pushed to that position because of woke-ness, not because of training or education. For those of us who lived in the age of a huge technological leap, it’s depressing and we’re trying not to read the writing on the wall. But we have functioning brains.

Another thing. There is an absolute aversion to paying attention. To looking around. To reading the room. People are so desperate to be unique that they copy EVERYTHING. It’s all they can do because the think tanks are indoctrination incubators now. There’s no: How can we leap forward as a society? How can I make things incredible? No, now it is: How can we destroy society, tear it down, be anti everything? Destruction doesn’t work. Problem is, if we don’t read that room, we’ll miss the big train. Does anyone else see the irony of desperation for uniqueness causing a limp, deflating picture of deadly imitation?

Yeah, I think Jaguar is devoid of creative people, ones who like wrenches and power tools. I think Jaguar is so desperate they want to be Target. I mourn.

Ah Crap. There Goes Jaguar

Once in another lifetime, I owned a red Jaguar with light tan leather interior. It was one of my favorite cars ever. Beautiful, solid, tight, fast. Car. Car car car. I loved that car, and I had to have a good job, paying good money in order to afford it! I am talking about the Jaguar CAR.

I hope you have seen the new Jaguar ads, which have nothing to do with cars. Any cars. What they are, is a collection of woke…people…who knows what kind…trying to be unique and there are no CARS in sight or sound. But, they’re copying every other woke collection of people trying to be unique. This crap is getting old. Young people are STILL trying to be unique by copying everyone else! Maybe they don’t know what unique means. In any case, they copy their older brothers and sisters by trying to be unique. hahaha. You can’t make this stuff up. They are probably all middle children. Once AGAIN we see a collection of…people…trying to be as counterculture as they can manage…and it is SO BORING, so already done.

But I digress. Jaguar is…uh, WAS… one of the MOST sought-after cars with the iconic hood ornament that NOBODY could afford unless you were buying an old, used one. Like I did. Ah, but not now. heh heh heh. Watch what happens to this brand. Ever hear of Bud Light? Ever hear of ‘Go woke; go broke’? The new ads actually advertise counterculture wokism, not cars, which as we all know is the giant kiss of death.

I saw their new ‘ad’ and my exact response was, “Ah CRAP there goes Jaguar”. I’m not wrong. I haven’t BEEN wrong with my predictions. This means I’m mainstream, I guess. But I WILL mourn the murder of Jaguar. Bud Light, I didn’t care, except that I didn’t have to watch that guy in a woman costume anymore. I didn’t drink Bud anything. Tractor Supply had a close brush, and I will never shop at Target again. No biggie. But for the murder of Jaguar, I weep.

Wait, is it murder? Or is it suicide? I think it’s suicide. If it is suicide, then they get exactly EXACTLY what they deserve. Goodbye Jaguar. I will miss you.

And all of the Jag owners, probably out to eat in an expensive restaurant, wearing expensive clothes, looking well manicured and young…You are the end of the age of coolness.

I Am A True Crime Junky

As usual, I turned on a true crime YouTube video to watch while I had my morning coffee. OMG yet ANOTHER husband murdered by his wife, who had some skill hiding his body, apparently. I heard the same words and phrases. Like 1) smell of bleach; 2) new mattress; 3) new gun purchase a couple of months before the murder; 4) help moving the body; 5) help cleaning the crime scene; 6) extra marital affair; 7) children; 8) mapped the drive while carrying a corpse (okay that’s my turn of phrase); 9) DV accusations against the dead guy (yeah, my phrasing again). I said, “Are you kidding me??? Again???”

The point is this. PEOPLE, future CRIMINALS, listen UP! There are millions and MILLIONS of true crime fans who know how to use the internet and cannot WAIT to help take you down. We assist law enforcement all the time. ALL the time. And we are everywhere…even in the dark! I know! We sit there with our fingers poised above our keyboard just waiting to come after you. What PLANET are you on, what rock do you live under that you do not know this?? Have you not heard, “It was a YouTuber who gave us the tip we needed”? If you don’t know that, you are an idiot and clearly not smart enough to pull off the murder of your spouse, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your partner, your mother, your child, your whole family or your DOG. We’re gonna get really, really, REALLY upset with you. You don’t want that, you really really do not.

We can tell you did it just by looking at you, and then by what you say, and by you rocking back and forth and eating your lips. You broadcast your lie without even talking. And you know, often, it is the privileged ones who try to pull off this horror. Your god is money. Or sex. Extra marital affairs apparently make people freaking STUPID. But hey, that won’t matter in prison. Your God will become your commissary fund. I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard a prisoner whining about their commissary fund. All of a sudden your new squeeze, your fancy car, your mansion are replaced by BOO HOO COMMISSARY.

And second, we will catch you. We won’t give up until we do. We’ll find your spouse (or child) in the landfill, in the mountains, in the forest, in the swamp, on the side of the road, in your drains, in the water, under your concrete patio, above the ceiling tiles, bricked in the WALL. We’ll find them and then we will lift our eyes to you. You’ll recognize the look in the eyes of the detectives at that time, for sure. Then you’ll cry when you are found GUILTY and sent to that scary prison and you’ll realize that all of your friends won’t take your calls from, nor visit you, in prison. You’re gonna lose everything. And by the way if we have NOT caught you yet, don’t blink. Millions are coming for you and we are PATIENT.

One last thing. That woman with a magnifying glass at the top of this post? That’s an AI image. My first. Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? So yeah, you can add AI to that list up there.
