Ring/buzz/trill. “Hello?” “Hey Dad.” “Hey! It’s my number one son! How’s it going?” “Good, Dad. Good.” “And how are all my grandbabies?” Gentle chuckle. “They’re fine.” “And my daughter-in-law?” “She’s good.” “Planted the next seed yet?” Another chuckle. “Not just yet. The baby’s only a few months old, figured I’d give her break. Maybe have …

HA! No sympathy. Nada. None. Zilch. Nyet. Hate to break it to you ladies, but you created your own creature, built your own beast. Made your own monster. To an individual, the audience heard the exact same thing: “I want …” “I wanted …” “I just had to have …” There was never a need, …
Much like the Jan.6 insurrectionists/rioters/patriots/goons, sometimes have to wonder if Stephen King just smears stuff on the wall to see what sticks. Not that this was a bad read, no … stayed curious as to what’s next. But the payoff? So not worth the buy-in. And actually like Stephen King (gotta say his whole name, …
There’s a delightful young woman on the Tok of the Tik – the Girl with the List / @z00mie – and she offers birth control advice / cures for baby fever. She (I believe the term) “stitches” other clips together of women describing the absolute horror of certain birth situations. For example, one woman reminisced …
Some disgruntled bearing a discount sniper scope tried to end the Orange Menace. How very American. And of course the shooter was killed by … “law enforcement.” Big fan of conspiracy theories, so thought would add another. The objective of the masters of mankind is authoritarianism, and currently the best approach to achieve that goal …

OK so the Amazon Rainforest did not get a whole lotta rain earlier this year and now it is literally on fire. Bangladesh has flooded out after continuous rainfall for at least a month. Hurricane Beryl (July 2024) is the first F-5 hurricane of the season, hitting the Caribbean hard almost two months prior to …
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 …
Gleaned an article re the strong job market, low unemployment, boundless opportunities, Wall Street on record highs (booger shooger will do that). Aaaannnndddd then there’s another article re how tech workers of FANG – Facebook, Amazon, NetFlix, Google – are experiencing layoffs, unable to find work, living on credit cards and out of their cars, …

Made the mistake of reading an article on BuzzFeed re the dumpster fire of entitlement, narcissism, and victimhood as it pertains to MFs and her collective justification of infidelity. Really. And this is what the M&Ms (modern mens) have to choose from. Now, to be honest, upfront and transparent, M&Ms have many shortcomings as well …
Half took theKid, left for the other end of the country. Not permanently, at least methinks/mehopes not, but they have been gone for awhile now, with no real plan in place to return. In their absence I have discovered how expensive family really, truly is. My heavens. Been to the gas station once in two …
