Oh, Ohio. Read “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison. Oprah should have left that one on the pages. Hard to put the murder of a child to save from slavery on film, but hey. There’s that. Anyhoo, Ohio. Back in February, buncha horsemen riding hard put up some symbols and yelled some things and then got confronted …
Down to None
Love ‘em, and hate this. So, so very much. The last dog, the final puppy, has gone on to that field of butterflies in the sky. Likely held on too long, did not want to let her go. Just selfish. Cancer roiling through those bowels. At the end, her back and skull bones were poking …
Poking the Panther
Ben Shapiro (smart but not) recommended recently that Derek Chauvin, oh he of the knee on neck of George Floyd and impetus of 2020’s global racial reckoning, receive a pardon from the Orange Menace for his federal crimes. Of course he would simply be transferred back to state prison, but the federal charges would go …
That Will Do Not What Wants To Do
“Private” company in China is insisting that employees get married or risk discipline up to and including termination for failure to do so by the determined deadline. Divorce laws in China have been changed so that the person who owned/was gifted the house prior to the marriage gets to keep it, and the other spouse …
Mode: Maximum Disrespect, Unlocked
Upfront: not a lot of sympathy for the Ukrainianisms … they wanted to do it alone, so be alone. Like the name of the currency tho’: “hryvnya” … great 7-letter Scrabble dagger. Anyhoo … After declaring its independence in 1991, the country had a chance to join NATO but declined, choosing to remain “neutral.” Oops. See …
Blackout
Oops. Seems the Ice Cream Social is a bit peeved, feeling a mite peckish, that lot. So today is the Economic Blackout … according to the medium of socials, the Ice Cream Social is imploring the membership to spend no cash, zero dollars on this day, flex a bit of economic might. TIL that the …
Clown Monkeys
This has officially become ridiculous. Would go shoot the poo-flinging monkey in the face but bullets be pricey. theKid asked for some random trinket-bauble-doodad on the thing with the stuff, said “yeh,” tried to process the magikal plastic and got denied. Wat. This is a six-figure household, waddaya mean “declined”? And to think this time …
Gauntlet: Thrown
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA not a fan of rap music but Kendrick Lamar is seriously that guy. Did not know he got a Pulitzer for music. Well, go’haid. Also did not watch the Bowl of Supers … heard a rumor that Tom Baby would be broadcasting in attendance which was enough to go tune into frolicking puppies ANYHOO finally …
Blanca Blanco
Griselda Blanco was the consummate Boss Bae in the late 80’s, early 90’s, turned Miami into the ultimate capital for booger sugar and bloodbaths. Rumor has it after being deported back to Medellín she was gunned down – get this – outside a butcher shop. Heh. GOD does like His irony. {Isaiah 3:11} Apparently, just …
Dancing On the Grave of the World
Over here? Big fan of the apocalypse. Means JESUS will return, bring in a new Heaven and a new Earth.{Revelation 21:1} And that’s a good thing. Only real hard part is getting from here … to there. But the Orange Menace 2.0 seems to be crossing that river jes’fiyn. During a not-too-distant interview Georgia (oh, …
