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 …
LoveBomb 2024
My heavens that was a lot. Not that it makes any difference, but was interesting to watch and … compare to the alternative. Truth be told, the DNC was looking like Valyria after the Doom, right up until the CryptKeeper gracefully bowed out. Now, the Party of Ass is twerking on the furniture. Heh. Not …
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. …
My People
The Fam is back. Half returned with theKid, which is nice. Only been about two months, say 10 weeks, roughly 71 days, but who’s counting? Would be lying if claimed sleeping in, eating crap, and days to self wasn’t highly, highly enjoyable, but an entire life of that? No thanks. And the only reason can …
Joe is Legend
Must say … highly impressed. The CryptKeeper will def go down in history as one of the greatest. Totally self-sacrificed. Gotta say … much respect. To step away from the most powerful position(well, one of) on the planet? For the good of the nation? Recognizing that yes, you are the problem? Mad props. The final …
Gladiator Games?
So … men beating up on women is now considered sport. Whodathunk. Suppose Ike just needed boxing gloves. Presumably bareknuckle is still taboo? Silver lining, folks. If a man is accused of DV, need only claim that it was mutual combat between women, coz in the moment … he identified as a woman. What are …
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 …
