OK so the Amazon Rainforest did not get a whole lotta rain earlier this year and now it is literally on fire. Bangladesh has flooded out after continuous rainfall for at least a month. Hurricane Beryl (July 2024) is the first F-5 hurricane of the season, hitting the Caribbean hard almost two months prior to …
costs of kids
XX v. XY = Ø
Made the mistake of reading an article on BuzzFeed re the dumpster fire of entitlement, narcissism, and victimhood as it pertains to MFs and her collective justification of infidelity. Really. And this is what the M&Ms (modern mens) have to choose from. Now, to be honest, upfront and transparent, M&Ms have many shortcomings as well …
Alone, Again
Half took theKid, left for the other end of the country. Not permanently, at least methinks/mehopes not, but they have been gone for awhile now, with no real plan in place to return. In their absence I have discovered how expensive family really, truly is. My heavens. Been to the gas station once in two …
Limping into the 21st Century
OK so Arizona just repealed its Civil War-era, pre-state admission to the Union, 1864 (yes, that is an “8”) ban re abortion, and must say methinks … that is really, really sad. No debt owed to modernity there, oh-ho-ho-no. But they did repeal it, so that’s something. Still … the laws in effect remain way …
It Ain’t the Kids
theKid has been involved in sports from, oh, say, slightly after exiting the womb. Half was instrumental in that. I’m inclined to let children grow like weeds, let ‘em take over and blossom as they will but I’m also deeply in debt and fairly irresponsible soooooo … yeh. So theKid has played sports (sport) for …
Law of Unintended (or Maybe Intended?) Consequences
All this bru-hah-hah, all this strum ‘n drang, all this hullabaloo, makes me wonder just how (not)smart the Supremes really are. And how much of the Dobbs decision is rooted in the Supreme Court’s own demagoguery. Alabama (we can already see the problem there) recently ruled that embryos are actual people, despite having neither brain …

Talk Left / Live Right, or What I Said is Not What I Do
Well isn’t that interesting. Article by Brad Wilcox in the Atlantic discussed a book called, “Get Married,” and how the college-educated espouse alternative family types without actually embracing those alternatives themselves. Finish education. Establish career. Get married. Have kids. In that order. Although those selfsame folks claim bastardizing children is no big deal, they themselves …

The Single Promise
Pretty sure I saw a guy die on the freeway. Had just dropped theKid off, heading into the maw of RTO and mildly surprised that the flow of traffic was actually flowing then suddenly it slowed down to a crawl. Forgot where I heard/read this, but some wise person suggested that when traffic slows/stops, head …
Ahh, the Joy. All the Joy
One of the best things about married life? Never getting to watch the program you want. See, when spouses spent time together in front of the idiot box, typically one spouse (see: Half) does not want to watch the stupidity the other spouse (see: other half) is currently watching. Ergo: “Where’s the remote?” So much …
Population: Controlled
As another year ends, the third after the “plandemic” (but not really because this “virus” doesn’t recognize its exaggerated demise and what, again, is that new variant?) and folks are still fighting going back into the office. Nobody wants to be there. Nobody. Yet employers refuse to recognize that. It’s easier/better/preferable to just live at …
