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 …

The Death of a City
Was perusing the Tubes of You and came across a CC “Metal Leo,” who visits decaying cities in CA (yup, there’s Gavin, selling his used BMWs). Recently watched a familiar area – Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach in SF – and was really surprised at the decline. Gone. Used to work there. Once got catastrophically …
Cognitive Dissonance, or If Everything Is Better Why Does It All Suck?
Gleaned an article re the strong job market, low unemployment, boundless opportunities, Wall Street on record highs (booger shooger will do that). Aaaannnndddd then there’s another article re how tech workers of FANG – Facebook, Amazon, NetFlix, Google – are experiencing layoffs, unable to find work, living on credit cards and out of their cars, …

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 …
Not All Who Wander Are Lost … But Only the Foolish Will Follow
That hurt. Like … was actually, literally, physically painful. Elder abuse is just cruel. The CryptKeeper is a dead man wandering, helped off stage by his wife … no one likes his HalfNot … and the pride/persistence of the DNC will serve the Orange Menace another term on a silver platter, followed possibly by a …

America’s Pastime
Wellnow guess wasn’t expecting that. Talk about some loaded questions. Recently, Reggie Jackson took ‘Murica to task for her crimes against humanity, and hoo-wee … the man should have been a boxer ‘cuz he pulled not one punch. Mr. October (Mr. Jackson, if you’re nasty), 5-time World Series winner and MLB Hall of Famer, played …
Part of the Problem
Well, that’s interesting. Little late to the party … which started back in 2019, in another country, but wasn’t actually invited and has absolutely nothing to do with me so my tardiness is perfectly understandable. South Korean women are done. So much for passport bros. It’s called the 4B movement — bihon (no marriage), bichulsan …
Splurt
Something weirdly satisfying? Blackhead extraction videos, especially from Asia. Face cheese at its finest, with a smidge of pus-eruption and skin larvae. Nice. The ones featuring zitpops and cystbombs from the West and West-aspiring are almost gleefully prurient. Still good, but acceptable in smaller doses. Although the Iranian (?) chick showing her housework and groceries …
OK Not Worried, Worried … but Still
Methinks I suppose the question becomes … now what? Ashton Kutcher (could he have been any better typecast than Kelso? Methinks not) recently took some heat for stating the obvious … which the Hollywood strikes of ‘23/’24 protested … that Hollywood, that cauldron of magic and mystery, will be controlled entirely by AI. No more …
Adorable, Personified
The Deadheads, the BeyHive, the Swifties … Fandom is power. And can be wielded as a sword or shield. Must admit … never been much for pop culture. Transitory … irrelevant … inscrutable. Who knows what’s popular, and how/why it gets that way? BUT … but. Since the shearing of the “g.o.a.t.” actually watched the …
