Just to let y'all remember what today is here in Rumps

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

So I'm a bit under the weather – or is it the radar? – and stumble in to find … no one??

Hey respect that a few of us watched the baseball slugfest last night

Guerrero Jr.'s two-run homer in the third inning gave the Blue Jays a lead they did not relinquish, breaking a scoreless streak and putting them ahead of Ohtani.

Pitching: Ohtani pitched well after the homer, but was eventually chased in the seventh inning. Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber is expected to start Game 5.

Series status: The series is now tied 2-2.

I'm one to understand World Series

Bear!! Plus we've on day three of misty cold rain which makes Jane's warmth even more reason to stay in bed.

She did say feel better James.

Lion taking coffee for Two back to bed

Morning All

Thanks for the start Bear

What great sports yesterday

18 innings of baseball with the LA squad winning 6 to 5 over Toronto Blue Jays and earlier

What I'm calling TurnOver MNF

There were a total of three turnovers in last night's Monday Night Football game between the Chiefs and the Commanders. The first quarter saw two interceptions and a turnover on downs, which resulted in a scoreless quarter.

Two interceptions: Both the Chiefs and the Commanders committed one interception each.

One turnover on downs: The Chiefs failed to convert on fourth down.

Kansas City shook off terrible 1st quarter play and won 28 to 7 scoring 21 unanswered points. If anyone paying attention Travis Kelce (mr. Taylor Swift)? had 99 yards including one touchdown. Next up Buffalo Bills Sunday.

Feeling better today. I gave myself permission to veg on the couch yesterday but today the doc’s instructions say to move around more.

I got the all clear to attend Oktoberfest in Tampa tonight. I won't be able to imbibe (on these meds), but I spy some yummy German food in my future! And watching the contests is always good fun (Stein carrying, log sawing, etc)

TGIF all y’all. ❤️

Glad to hear your on the mend.

Speaking of Oktoberfest...

.

You're really gonna go there?

OK, so when was the last time you put a man on the moon. Or any person?

And who do you think is going to be the next country to put a person on the moon?

I very much doubt America knows how any more, especially since NASA got rid of the plans for all that equipment…

NVMD

Caffeine will soothe the ache.

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Red Rose and Earl Grey Cream teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is now perkin' away.

Today we're using Seattle's Best coffee (it says so on the label) to celebrate that poor, poor city that, according to a certain administration, is going up in flames – every day.

I've put out donuts.

Plus I've got some cream-filled canolli for y'all.

Take care out there, 'K?

Morning Bear wow I'm impressed serving the favourite coffee beans of our royalty guess you read of their love of Seattle Best!!

And Rachel, I'm sure there were all kinds of conniptions about the protests – but mostly from Those Who Would Be Kings.

Let's get this crazed day pumpimg!!

One song

Hot Dog

Another musician passes away

Sam Rivers, 48 of Limp Bizkit RIP

The baseball gods smiled giving us a one in a life time show yesterday

Thank You Shohei Ohtani for my newest memory.

Ohtani hit three home runs in the game, which the Dodgers won to clinch their spot in the World Series.

He became the first player in MLB history to hit three home runs and have 10 strikeouts in a single postseason game.

In addition to his performance at the plate, he pitched six shutout innings. 

⚾️

Thanks for the opening Bear

Great win by the LA Dodgers

Today no music to honour a great musician passing

The assembled band is getting larger

I Must post this with the upmost respect that on this day 214 years ago, October 17th, 1814 goes into the history books as

The London Beer Flood

8 people were killed in what became known as the London Beer Flood after 1,470,000 L of beer burst out of brewery and gushed into the streets; 214 years ago today on October 17 1814

At Noon Eastern Time all beer sales will be free here in Rumps.

On a side note the British tried blaming "dirty irish" or "upstart" traitorous Americans.

Nice to see Jane keeping busy at the bar!

I think that red head disappeared into Store Room #4. There have certainly been some, um, interesting noises emanating from there!

Thank you, Lion, for kicking our Get-Fried-Day off! It is much appreciated.

I'm going to interrupt the frivolity to paste in something I saw in my other life, on LinkedIn. I'd be interested in your thoughts, folks. We, as a society, are wading into deep water here, and we need to think about what to do.

And contrary to Nancy Reagan's dictum, just saying NO ain't gonna help.

Here's the post:

Today, I spent my lunch hour creating porn. Every day, I teach myself a new AI skill. On Mondays, I log into Discord for 1 hour and pretend to be a 15-year-old gamer boy, so I can learn what boys learn.

Within minutes today, I was pointed toward a new tool for AI-generated porn. A major Chinese video model has just been acquired, and all its safeguards were gone.

The result? Fully open, uncensored, hyper-realistic AI video generation. I used adult human characters in my little experiment, but the system was open for me to do whatever I wanted.

This isn’t fringe. Kids find these tools faster than most adults find the TV remote.

Many of the comments I saw were not from predators but from kids who seemed simply curious, lol-ing, and experimenting with what the tech could do.

Some of the kids in the channels today were in class, and "so bored".

That’s the problem. They are unsupervised and alone in these spaces, being shaped by them. They are learning about intimacy from synthetic pornography, not from trusted adults, not from healthy relationships.

We cannot wish this away. CSAM and AI-generated explicit material are exploding online. The general CSAM volume has roughly tripled from 2023 to 2025, and AI-generated CSAM has skyrocketed, with 380% growth in just one year (Thorn, 2025).

It is big business, and regulation is barely catching up.

Parents, this is not a call from me to confiscate tech. It’s a call to show up. Talk to your kids. Often. Teach them what’s safe, what’s not, and how to ask for help when they see something that crosses the line. Assume they see this type of content constantly, and open the conversation. I log off after an hour each Monday because the reality of boys’ online lives is terrifying.

Today, I was so grossed out, that I skipped eating altogether. Gen Z went through this mostly alone. Are we willing to let Gen Alpha do the same?

------------

Y'all know I love a good, smutty story as much as the next Bear, but kids are being dragged down into the mud before they learn about healthy relationships.

That has always been one of the things I've liked about Lush: Adult, consensual, erotica without exploitation.

Any thoughts, folks?

I say it's something to ponder with your morning coffee or tea.

Thanks James for bringing this forward
