Down in ‘Murrica’s DownUnder (oh, Florida) a parentless, jobless, spouseless 16-year-old girl who was mature enough to petition the court for an abortion was denied permission to get one because she wasn’t sufficiently mature to make the decision to terminate her pregnancy. Making her a mom seems to be the right call. The wizened court …
Liz for Prez
Liz Cheney just got fired … for standing up to the nonsense. Guess some folks (particularly those in Wyoming – go figure) would rather live a lie than accept the truth. Trump lost, for heavens’ sake, and he’s such a manbaby that he cannot accept the reality of his unpopularity … I mean, when 80 …
Reassessed
After reviewing the poopshow that was spending in July, methinks me now knows … Wow! I spend a lot of money! Which means, I have a lot to spend. Which means, I can arrange a spending plan (budgets suck! budgets don’t work!) to spend less. Following instructions. Don’t spend … and when spend, spend smart. …
Post-Reality World
School’s back in session. Wat joy Spent a ridiculous amount of cash on stuff for theKid and theKid deserves every cent spent. We live in a place with a public school located across the street … like, walking in house shoes and PJs close. But. It’s public. And every weekday morning around 8 and afternoon …
Eternally Safe
Didja see Death Valley flooded? Had eleventy-hunnert inches of rain fall in 42 seconds or whatever. Nice. It’s also 500 degrees in India, Pakistan, and the Middle East, soon to become real estate that is incompatible with human life. Read somewhere that we (humans we) can only tolerate a max temp of 120° F / …
Can’t Afford v Can’t Pay
Methinks I should fully acknowledge that without Half and steady income, homelessness (houselessness? unhousedness?) is a very real possibility. There was some statistic somewhere that claimed nearly half of Americans are a single paycheck away from the street. Really? Just one? Not quite there yet … got some assets to pawn, some goods to hock, …
End of Month
Well that was a bummer … onto debt! May have mentioned around these parts that Half and the other half have an … untraditionally traditional lifestyle. See, Half handles the life/life-sustaining obligations (mortgage, lights, heat, cable/internet — which, funnily enough, is the highest bill after shelter … go figure who knew) and me, the other …
Is It Though? Is It Really?
Having a bit of existential ennui, thought I might share. Of late, seems that the world has lost its mind a bit more than usual, or perhaps — after 200 years — modern civilization is just in a rapid state of mental decline. Read an article recently (I should stop doing that) about pregnant women …
And The End Continues …
This is beautiful. Wisconsin is a right-to-work state (thank you, Scott Walker), meaning anybody can be fired for any reason (few exceptions) without explanation, notice, or recourse. So, back in January 2022 a hospital system in Wisconsin (Hospital #Dumb) lost a high number of employees to a local competitor (Hospital #Yes) … better pay, better …
Single Payer Doomsdayer
This is great! I love on this so hard. Apparently, the US Senator from WVA managed to squash the first real legislation from Congress that might — stress: might — have made a difference in how humans treat the only planet they can live on en masse. Nice. This guy gets more $$$ from selfish …
