BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1184 & BENKYO RADIO 1184. If I could afford it, I would buy my wife a new SUV, and since I’d love both a BMW and an Audi, since both of them won’t stop their war, it’d be a BMW X2, because the BMW XM SUV is a tad bit expensive. No paycheck since late 2019, nobody to blame but previous employers, especially since last #IntelCorp paycheck on June 1st, 2018. This is why #IntelCorp was split into 2 companies, including #IntelFoundry. Pat CEO is facing an Audit / IRS because he places all the profits in one company and all the losses into the other, which is against the law. Pat CEO also broke Voyager 1 satellite because I did not have funding, which I had to fix with my Soundcloud track. I also had to fix #IntelQuantum myself and had to pay for new hardware with my credit card and had to skip on my Tofu Shop birthday celebration, and I still can’t afford a new sports car so I had to play some Need for Speed on the Playstation 5 instead. PS. I also got mad and my Twitter account got suspended (I told them to fire #MAGAcult people at DIA, which was true, they needed to be found). Within 3 weeks, America can collapse. Not my fault. I’m on Bluesky, Mastodon, and dreadful Facebook instead for the unforseen future. If you’re one of my 383 friends on FB, set me on mute because I tweeted a lot, so now I will FB a lot. As always #FuckMarkZ, this is temporary. We may have to invent #TheNextFacebook eventually.

Until Next Time!
