Now she is pretty good. Color me impressed. The impending demise of the ‘Murrican FaceTik/InstaTok is looming, and folks have feelings. Personally, never really traversed that peculiar social media minefield. Don’t do much of any of that, really. Liking the Tubes of You, ‘cept for the ads … oh so many ads … OK so quicktake—the …
Brilliant Shrike
Still gnawing away at Mr. Ellison’s anthology, and oh my goodness is he good. “Mefisto in Onyx” is easily one of the best shortish stories methinks meeyes have ever glazed. Truly good. And it’s obvious no wonder why not more popular. Brown eyes outcrafting blue is not a popular trope. Not here. Not ever. Language is …
Overreach Much, or Way to Show That Hand
My guy Luigi might get the needle. How much poetic irony can we stand. Seriously. Murder as an act of terrorism? Really? Gunning down schoolkids with an AK is just Tuesday in ‘Murrica, but lying in wait and shooting a corporate gang leader with bodycount in the thousands is somehow a threat to public safety. …

Notes on a Scandal
Well isn’t that interesting. Lookie see, lookie here. Seems our venerated villain had a bit of a stock irregularity when it came to his employer. Seems a bit of fraud and insider trading (to the smooth tune of $15M) on UnHealth stock may have caught the eye of the Effa-Bee-Aiyee, as he sold his stock …
“Pretty Maggie MoneyEyes” … Hey Harlan!
There is a young woman from South Carolina who blinded herself by wrenching her eyes from her head during a methfit … thought she needed to do that to, dunno, save / somebody / and apparently it took seven other adults to hold her down in the ER. Just say no, indeed. To her credit …

Killing Elephants
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 …
