Despite the pleas of the victim’s family and an agreement by the DA to commute the sentence to life in prison, Marcellus Williams just had to be murdered by the state, put to death by lethal injection on 9.24, 2024. The governor, a Rethuglican (no surprise there) acted to hurry up and kill him, post-haste …
Permanent Alternative
Methinks me might have to … reassess a point of view. Despite all appearance to the contrary, still an adult, and can adapt an opinion based on new information. See: exploding pagers. Now, not that there was any real consideration given to the fact that certain folks might still carry the antiquated things, but the …
Dog Whistles and Code Switching; or, Surviving in Modern ‘Murica
Was this many months old when discovered that, nationwide, DEI policies and programs are in the horsemen crosshairs. Nope, no equality of opportunity for yooooouuuuuu …. Funnily enough, little to no discussion regarding the generational hostile advantages, violent privileges, and brutal entitlements secured by … one particular, specific, certain group … to the perpetual objective …

Mayday
Read something recently that was a bit disturbing, but unsurprisingly not surprised. See, was officially this much old when discovered that, globally, May 1st is celebrated as International Workers’ Day, chosen by Marxists to commemorate the workingman massacre in Chicago (not surprised) back on May 1, 1886. Workers were agitating for an 8-hour workday, and …
And the Band Plays On
Hard to believe (but not really) only four more months until 2025. MyMy … the time not only flies but flees. November 2024’s election is only 67 days away, and methinks the end is nigh. Regardless of the actual “winner,” methinks we all lose. If the HalfNot assumes power, then the inevitable slide into further …
Empires Do Not Fall … Only Drop to Collective Knees and Face-Plant Into the Muck
Watched King’s “The Stand” on the Tubes of You not too long ago, remember reading the author’s cut about a million years ago … seems so very plausible, particularly in light of recent global troubles. Shut down the world, indeed. Had a classmate back in those dim, dark, desperate days of high school whose dad …
Once More into the Breach, Dear Friends …
theKid started back to school … and how quickly these years have passed. Harking back to the early days of pre-K, diaper changes with strangers, foot and mouth disease. And is it impetigo or vitiligo? Never could keep those straight. Anyhoo, during those formative years always believed the adults were exaggerating when they said time speeds …

And the Journey Continues …
My problem is that not everyone sucks, and not all the time. Mentioned earlier in these parts that a Merry Tweaker bested me, wandered off with a solid five-figure, one comma, double-digited heist … Sigh. Learn me to give the face-tatted stranger a chance. Anyhoo, are where we are, and getting to a better place. …
Prodigal Fam
Half has promised to bring Halfself and theKid back next month. It’s been awhile. Methinks me be lying if me said sleeping in, occasionally fooding, hermitting and yon’midnight late-nights haven’t been nice … most def have. A solitary creature does like its solitude. But. Even Ted Kaczinski needed to reach out. Jim Beam has a …
As The World Watched
That was … bold. Read an article about a year ago that officials in Paris were fighting a bedbug infestation… a plague of insects, prr’haps? To get things started, the city was battered by rain. Like, sheets and buckets. And it’s hot. What? During the opening ceremony of that global quadrennial pagan ritual, TIMs/TIFs, drag …
