Events, people, places and things are stored in the brain and are supposedly right there for whenever needed, with or without being invited, and sometimes with or without that recollection being real. Twenty years seems a long time, but in reality, it’s…
A major problem in Amerca right now is the Republican Party. They’re all assholes. As a nation we’re facing a massivce health event — COVID-19, whch has already claimed 550,000 American lives in just a bit more than a year — with the way-added weight of the economic fallout off the virus (770,000 unemployment claims…
Living through this perilous age has caused pessimism to be forcibly the norm, however, events the past few weeks has seemingly shifted that view around a bit. Now we have a perception that a return to ‘normal’ (whatever that was/is) might be close at hand — even polls reflect such: Optimism is becoming the norm in…
I saw this earlier and it’s amazing (h/t tweet C&J): And the reply for hardcore bowlers: As I posted this morning, I took the first shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, and although the CDC advised there could be side effect (tiredness, headache, chills — at the injection sight, pain, redness, swelling), I wasn’t prepared…

The airwaves and InterWebs allow ‘alternative facts‘ to play out in the same fashion as genuine/verified facts, like a lie needs space,…
In context of this particular Thursday, the news cycle is getting old. Generally the same daily shit twisted as if in a Twilight Zone-influenced-Groundhog Day episode, and then repeats the repeating. Against the grain, though, we must continue to move forward. However, I did have a nice experience due to a couple videos that crossed…
One of the wonders of the T-Rump era is how easily a shitload of people become nasty supplicants to the orange turd, and seem to cower in keeping the Big Lie glaring and loud. In one aspect, the Big Lie is their only course, yet don’t these people have any kind of a conscience: They’re…
