I'm keeping a list

 


I've always pretty much kept a list (in my head anyway) of people who have slighted me. Unlike Trump who would act on his list if he became president again, I don't really do anything with my list but occasional go through it in my head and remind myself that those people are on my list. That list includes Mrs. Kimbro, the grade school teacher who smacked me on the head when we went to her class to sing and the kid next to me was talking.  The list also includes the junior high school custodian who made me clean a mustard cup off the wall in the school cafeteria because I sat in the wrong seat at the wrong time.  My 5th grade teacher who looked and acted like the Wicked Witch of the West is on the list along with Mr. Young, my driver's ed instructor who gave me a "D." Pretty much anyone I ever dated or had a relationship with is on that list, too. 

It isn't actually National You're Going On My List Day. I didn't like any of the National Day days today (scarf day, corned beef has day and crush a can day) so I figured WTF, I'll create my own and bypass the whole farcical application process. I posted it on X and I imagine Trump is all over it. 

I (well Gemini) created a couple other designs about going on my list.


I was a bit concerned about the one that looks like Grim Reaper because it could be perceived that by going on "my list" it is a threat associated with what the Grim Reaper represents. But I didn't tell Gemini to imply that the person wearing that design was putting people on a list being kept by the Grim Reaper. It, the mamby pamby "I can't generate an image of that" AI art generator came up with it on its own. Nasty little bastard.

But perhaps it will be a warning to the snot nosed little bots sent out by the intellectual property police to leave my designs alone or they are going on my list.

That is not a threat. And if it is perceived as one, blame Gemini and Google.
