Reading is excellent, inexpensive fun. Portable, reliable, no need to charge. Can even do it for free, at least used to. Haven’t been to the library in a minute(open on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 10am to 11:15, and hurry up!) This may surprise you (Other Person, You) but I spent the majority of my recesses …
To Eat His Own
Found a fun little factoid … seems that back in 1912, the Astors were the wealthiest family in America, and John Jacob Astor was the richiest rich of the lot. But he died on the Titanic. Guess money don’t float. Isidor Straus(s?) and his wife Ida, owners of Macy’s … apparently, he refused to leave …
The Center Does Not Hold
Need a new fridge. Well, not really, ‘coz the old one still works, just with problems. See, one feature of the fridge is an alert — a “ding … ding … ding” — if the door sits open too long. Well this delightful little feature now ding … ding … dings even when the fridge …
Second (or Third, or Fourth) Shift
Methinks me figured it out. MFs. I think I got it. The problem of MFs. MFs, or more accurately, their moms and grandmoms, wanted to go out into the workforce. And methinks that women thought that the work at home would change. Like, men would take responsibility – willingly – to do the jobs that …
What Diet, Where?
theKid doesn’t watch actual TV, which is actually pretty 21st century of theKid. Rather, theKid watches the Tubes of You, and the memes. All the memes. And some weird anime series on the flicks of Net. Anyhoo … But sprinkled in between the memes and anime is some really good information … ergo, to wit: …
BroHomo Sapiens
A recurring theme in the manosphere is the problematic nature of women, particularly MFs. Interestingly enough, another recurring theme is either MGTOW, or the hardships of meeting/marrying a traditional woman. Since I’m married, have been for some time now and working/hoping(?) to stay that way, I literally have no skin in this game. But if …
GOD says “Get in Shape!” (and round doesn’t count)
Mentioned somewhere around these parts that I am fat. Not that I’m particularly disturbed by my fatness (waggy corpulence) but Half is which means I must be as well. So, that which brings us to fitness. Fatness to fitness, what fun. Started on my … journey from fatness to fitness back in early 2022 … …

Meth Barbie, or the Deplorable MTG
There appears to be much hate for Georgia’s export of toxic waste in human format, ergo Meth Barbie, and with good reason. She (what is a woman?) did heckle a sitting president during his State of the Union address (but what Rethuglican hasn’t tho’ really?) and claimed that one Illinois elementary school got $5B in …
Breeding for Bonzo
When you don’t have kids, you’re incredibly self-centered. And when you do, you become even more so. Methinks: how could you not? There a little half version of you walking about in the world. If anyone has had a child after, say, 2010, methinks the decision stems more from hubris than the notion that the …
Cut ‘Em Off, On Their Knees
Methinks me wonders at times the amount of a child’s potential lost because the adults don’t know how to adult. Mentioned (several times) before that theKid is involved in sports, like heavily, like more than one team/sport/activity. Anyhoo … There are some kids on some of those teams who only play intermittently because – get …
