There’s a monster in West Virginia. The absolute worst type of “human,” at least in the context of a carbon life-form. Any questions of moral integrity, basic decency, and capacity for empathy left open for later consideration. Kenny Cook sexually abused, violated, and molested his daughter beginning at the age of nine, and she wound …
And for More News of/in the Apocalypse …
Well this is … 2025. And, apparently, there is an interstellar object hurtling towards Momma Earth at about 130K/MPH, and none of the really big brains knows what it is. Troubling. But a bit of a thrill too. Deep Impact is one of the faves (do love a good ELE flick) although methinks some large, …

The Really Real Reason
Read an interesting … treatise? … manifesto? … screed? … whatever, thought it was excellent, about the actual reason for RTO when WFH works/ed so very, very well. Don’t need to drive if staying at home. Chevron … BP … Exxon … all had reduction in profits when folks stayed home, that and commercial real …

Law #18 – Dangerously Alone
Off the eastern coast of India in the Bay of Bengal reside a people on North Sentinel Island … primitive, reclusive, hostile, … and violent. In 2018, a Christian missionary named John Chau attempted to contact the Sentinelese and spread the Gospel. The last confirmed sighting was of his dead body being dragged away by …
Rites of Passage
theKid is an onlyborn. Other relatives in the age range/peer group, but only has Half and other half as live and direct, in-house fam. Other wrinkle (heh)? Half and other half are a full two generations older than theKid, so highly likely, probable, and darn-near gah-ron-teed that theKid will have to bury one if not …
Play to Play
theKid had a tournament/game/meet of sorts … did pretty well, first in some, second in others, medals/trophies/awards all around. Half tends to focus on the win, whereas (non-competitive) other half is like, Isn’t playing the point? But suppose that is why Half has more success, and other half is just riding those coattails. Begs the …
Dragon (B)Eats Eagle
Personally, even if such funds were available, could not countenance spending nearly $40K on a … purse. Not even a satchel. And what’s even funnier is that about 96 percent of that $40K purchase price is simply for the label. China plays chess as GrandMaster, while the Orange Menace keeps losing at Tic-Tac-Toe. Ha! This …
Baby Burst
Apparently (heh, didjacatchthat?no?nevermind) the Rethuglicans are seriously worried re the lack of babies being born (among the horsewomen,a’cours). In the land of Dobbs, the SAVE Act, dismantling the Dept of Education (‘cept for collecting on default student loan debt), and efforts to end no-fault divorce … Don’t ever wonder. Here’s a suggestion … try universal …
Wait … What?
A 19YO kid in NYC got snatched off the street by ICE for deportation, likely to CECOT. One problem? The kid is legally in the states, seeking asylum from the Venezuelan gov’t. Another 20YO, a natural-born US citizen, non-native English speaker and “illegal immigrant appearing,” was seized by ICE after a Florida traffic stop … …
