Was this many years old when theKid informed that approx. 55 elephants are killed everyday by poachers. For their tusks. For trinkets, baubles, and doodads. And piano keys. Loving that ivory sheen. Back in 1903 an elephant – Topsy, dear ol’ Topsy – was considered “recalcitrant” after having injured several horsemen (including her handlers and …
And So It Begins (Again) / House Divided, or Civil War, pt Deux
Well THAT was depressing. Guess not feeling much in the way of positivity/hope-tivism since the election. Folks experiencing some serious doom/gloom, dappled with lotsa lotsa regret. Dunno if it will be as all bad as predicted, buuuuuuttttt … we do have direct past experience so very likely to be quite horrid. Saw that a federal …

Lip Frippery, or Better Yet … Oh Greta, You Silly Goose
Recently had some thoughts re the Greta that is the Thunberg, and how she inconveniences herself for no real good reason. Took a slow ship across the Atlantic to prove a meaningless point. Oh, Greta. Not to say that protesting the death of the planet is mere busywork, oh-ho-no not that, but that those creating …

Gloria Hallelujah
Recently informed that there was a struggle-rap creature by the name of “GloRilla” who apparently sings … “songs” … and “thrusts” … her … self across the stage in performances. Why is this a thing? Welp, the Ice Cream Social really needs to do a better job of policing its image, because when a young …
Tailspin
Have a Dear One working in the US public school system, and DO noted that plandemic babies are entirely, unequivocally screwed. That two+ years at home, no socialization, no in-class connection? These kids got Epsteined in the absolute worst way, and it will only get worser. DO works in/with early childhood development, and sees all …
Res(e)t
Seems this election cycle has sent the nation into a bit of a tailspin. More than a few folks been uninvited from the family holiday feast … out in the cold, as it t’were. One young woman had her mother and sisters unfollow her life on FaceGram or InstaTok or whatever, when she voted for …
Deep, Deep Dive; or, Two Moons Underground
Anybody else remember Herve Villachaize as Tattoo? “Da plane, Boss! Da plane!” That was a stupidly fun show. Couldn’t air in this age of outraged wokeness … someone would have gotten pissy that a little person wasn’t cast as Mr. Rourke, kind of like Snow White’s DEI seven dwarves (they didn’t look like that) … …

CuckFuzzled, or So Many Orange Tears #FAFO
Looks like the fun has begun. Wait, so a guy accused of using his micro-wee to violate a minor is nommed for USAG? Really? Bizarro world, commence. Anti-vaxxer with a worm-eaten brain is head of the nation’s health security? Wait … what? Skunk-headed conspiracy theorist is slated to oversee the intelligence community? This is getting good. …

DoomSooth
Mayhaps (or mayhaps not) mentioned ‘round these parts that Half predicted the burning phoenix sequel to the Orange Menace. See, Half works with/is exposed to the knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing standard bearer of the typical Trump voter, and Half said (when the Half-Not was announced following the pending demise of the CryptKeeper) “No way.” As in, “no …
Does the Devil Get Paid OT?
OK so this month has been a rough one, and not even two weeks in. Last two not exactly easy either (see: $11K [yes that is “eleven thousand”] in car repairs) but what did Mr. X say? Chickens, meet roost. Future money used for past debts. Heavens. Set up monthly auto transfers so the transfers …
