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 …

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 …
Guess That Answers That
I like Bob De Niro. Seems like a crusty yet amusing person … your mom’s older brother who stockpiles guns and dirty jokes … “You talkin’ to me?” Unfortunately, methinks he gets typecast as a gangster … did not know he was up for Jack Torrance at the Overlook but Jack did it better / …
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 …
45 got 34 & 52(-ish)
OK so now Trump is officially a convicted felon and I gotta say … so what. OK, so falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid to a porn star. Again … so what? This is the former president who, while running for office in 2016, proclaimed “I don’t even ask – just grab …
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OK so Arizona just repealed its Civil War-era, pre-state admission to the Union, 1864 (yes, that is an “8”) ban re abortion, and must say methinks … that is really, really sad.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 …
Breaking Buck
Never been a big fan of slave porn. Roots Amistad Glory 12 Years a Slave Although, must admit Django was surprisingly … surprising. An actual (albeit wholly fictional) happy ending. Bit blatant that Django didn’t actually get to kill Calvin Candy … the German got to do that, so there’s that. …
Paroxysms of Paradox
Watched “Se7en” again just recently. What a great movie. Not as big of a fan of “8MM” but to each his own. Nic Cage did his usual; Joaquin Phoenix was actually quite stellar. Had to die, tho.’ Anyhoo, back to “Se7en” … “What’s in the baaaaaahhhhhkkkkkksssss?!?!” There’s a scene before the scene where Mills asks John …
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 …
