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 …
Still Standing
Wow. Guess glad now didn’t choose to invest. They said (and you know how “they” are) not to worry about the fluctuations in the stock market unless retirement is pending in the next few years, but my goodness … do those next few years include the next 20? But … a wise person reminded that …
True Blessing
Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends. Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated. Breeding has its perks. Speaking of … recent stats indicate the US birthrate has fallen …
Color Me (Un)Surprised
Guess always knew, what with the proof of history (see his NYC apartments in the 70’s) but … wow. Here’s a guy, born into segregation, witnesses the end of segregation, then acts to put it back. Wonder why he didn’t say he was going to do that on the campaign trail … hmmm, reasons. And …
Flashpoint
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 …
High Clowns & Maximum Chaos
Rumor has it that the oilymuskyfunk once quipped that the modus operandi of the techbros is“Move Fast and Break Sh!t” … which coincidentally appears to be the approach to doge-ing the Gub’mint. Deport (for all intent and purposes) the entire labor class, gut the federal workforce, install feal moron-cronies into office (was he actually drunk …
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 …
And We’ve Only Just Begun
Whew. So … that was January 2025. OK so a guy drove his truck onto Bourbon Street at a high rate of speed, killing 14 before the cops killed him. Another guy blew up a DumpTruck in front of one of the Orange Menace’s hotels in Vegas, killing himself and no one else. Los Angeles …
