Dr. Frank Turek is one of those guys who always answers a question with a question, needing to frame the discussion to prove his point. Methinks that is not necessary, because his position is the truth. Or, more accurately, the Truth. He wrote a book I can’t recommend because I haven’t read it but I’m …
The Female Problem
May have mentioned (definitely mentioned) that I enjoy the opinions of the manosphere, but methinks it has descended into a bit of an echo chamber. F&F reiterate the recurrent complaint that, essentially, women are basically pointless/irrelevant/useless to men UNLESS the man wants children, then he’s obligated/cautioned to find a good one. So … in this …
Sides of a Circle
Guy sought the opinions of the internets. Seems he was a bit of a germaphobe, bodily functions of most sort grossed him all the WTF out. Actually suffered traumatic, physical reactions (anxiety, panic attack, seizures) when confronted with the human nasties … also had epilepsy or some such, needed a full eight every night of …
Queue: Wailing, Gnashing of Teeth
Perhaps it’s time to simply accept that this is who, what, and how we are. Americans, in America. We kill each other. As opposed to baseball, that’s our real national pastime. So rather than continue to call for gun reform/control/restrictions, let’s just tally the body count(s) and send thoughts and prayers that the number of …
Birth Day? Worst Day
Wonder if Methuselah celebrated his 969th birthday. Probably not. I’m early on the downslope and already entirely over it. But then again my birthday has always sucked. A sign, prr’aps? Most years Half doesn’t even remember the day … although if I were to forget Half’s birthday the heavens would fall, water would cease to …
Hands & Holes: redux?
It occurs to me that men don’t particularly like women. Now obviously men like the things women provide, see: sex and services, each of which and all can be contracted for, legal or no. It’s as if the (un)fairer sex is a burden to be borne and endured rather than enjoyed. Seems the feeling is …
Chink (Thass Ray-sssisss!!) in the Plot Armor
No it’s not. Just like “niggling.” English is a funny, funny language, and terms that might be offensive in one context ain’t so much so in another. Like “nip.” Used as a derogatory term of one of Khan’s Kids, but can also mean a little sip of something, typically liquor. Anyhoo, was watching the greatest …

Not Planning for the Future Doesn’t Guarantee There Won’t Be One
Have to admit: never thought I’d make it to this age. Lived pretty reckless as a “yout.” Live fast, die young, not sure how good-looking the corpse would have been but death is indiscriminate. Bloated, black, and gassy all. Never thought I’d have kids (a kid) either, so there’s that. And one thing children give …

The Idiocy of Instagram, the Foolishness of Facebook, and the Execrable Existence of X
Recently, Half was, not shrilling at me, exactly, but there was definitely a tone. See, I refused to speak to the remote to find something, somewhere, on the TV, and Half got … exasperated. Told me it was time to get with the times. AI and the robot overlords make everything easier, no pressing buttons, …
Asphyxiated Pig
How nice. The Tubes of You are actually good for something other than spice kings and fails. Mentioned (several times now) that food duty is my duty, along with other household stuff. Half does Half’s part, but since I’m WFH, get treating like SAHM. So! Half and theKid didn’t grumble, exactly, but there were comments …
