A 19YO kid in NYC got snatched off the street by ICE for deportation, likely to CECOT. One problem? The kid is legally in the states, seeking asylum from the Venezuelan gov’t. Another 20YO, a natural-born US citizen, non-native English speaker and “illegal immigrant appearing,” was seized by ICE after a Florida traffic stop … …
Ownership, and Revenue … Slavery?
Not really. But kinda. Hmmm. Recently became a lurker on Reddit, familial cesspool of thought, opinion, and whatiffery. Fascinating lot, that. Particularly fond of the sub “AITA” … why yes, yes you are. Overwhelming so. Anyhoo, one sub discusses RTO, with the consensus almost universally WTAF. State workers in Texas, California, Minnesota, Ohio (oh Ohio) are …
Still Standing
Wow. Guess glad now didn’t choose to invest. They said (and you know how “they” are) not to worry about the fluctuations in the stock market unless retirement is pending in the next few years, but my goodness … do those next few years include the next 20? But … a wise person reminded that …
Frivolity Teats
theKid likes/watches anime, and must say … do like Chainsaw Man. And Dan Da Dan is the business. Altho’ … made the mistake of looking up “hentai.” Brain wounded. Japan is not a real place. Anyhoo, time for some frivolous levity and fun nonsense facts … please. Enjoy. 1. Speaking of Japan … the …
All By Herself
Not sure how all this is supposed to work out but slightly intrigued as to the actual outcome. Walking across the world, punching friends in the face, so not the way to move forward. All those good works since WW2, right down the drain, flushed and swirling. One plan of the Orange Menace is to eliminate …
True Blessing
Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends. Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated. Breeding has its perks. Speaking of … recent stats indicate the US birthrate has fallen …
Tomfoolery, and Bobgotjokes
Back to fun … well, don’t get out much, so methinks metype of fun. Enjoy! Or not. Err’body got choices. 1. No only child has ever been a US president. 2. There are around 2,000 islands in the Caribbean but only 2-percent are populated by humans. (Time to move!) 3. The sunflower spiral follows the …
All Fall Down
2008 seems like a million years ago. The plandemic was just about five, and at this point those memories are sepia-toned. For ’25, looks like the ride is about to get bumpy — bumpier, to be truthful — and the expertverse is predicting a reshape of the economic landscape, a financial tectonic shift, one that …
Color Me (Un)Surprised
Guess always knew, what with the proof of history (see his NYC apartments in the 70’s) but … wow. Here’s a guy, born into segregation, witnesses the end of segregation, then acts to put it back. Wonder why he didn’t say he was going to do that on the campaign trail … hmmm, reasons. And …
Flashpoint
Oh, Ohio. Read “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison. Oprah should have left that one on the pages. Hard to put the murder of a child to save from slavery on film, but hey. There’s that. Anyhoo, Ohio. Back in February, buncha horsemen riding hard put up some symbols and yelled some things and then got confronted …
