Notre Dame (cathedral) burns
The only person who was happy to see this happen would be the embattled, inept and “farts higher than his own ass,” French president Emmanuel Macron. It distracts the French public, including the large number of Atheists, from his failed … Continue reading
First tax refund in years
Hell, I cannot remember the last time got any money back from the IRS since we’ve been on the owing side for a few years in a row. One time it was a painful amount too, in the neighborhood of … Continue reading
Today’s modern idiocy, Sunday 4/14/19 edition
I have yet to write about the cool go-karts at Pinballz Lake Creek but today I experienced one of the new wrinkles smart phones have given us. This one teenager was so busy futzing with the tunes on his phone … Continue reading
Stars 2018-19 season ends with a whimper
My team’s tenth season ended without a playoff appearance which is pretty frustrating since we made it all the way to the Calder Cup Championship…only to lose to the Marlies. As per the sources I like to check online, the … Continue reading
Nixon’s head’s favorite candy!
I had to buy this when I spotted it at Terra Toys and gave it to a co-worker who I share an inside joke with, imitating Billy West imitating Tricky Dick. Saying this candy’s name exaggerates the fifth-worst president’s jowly … Continue reading
Captain Marvel (Marvel): Worth Seeing
MCU gambles on an obscure character again but doubles down on setting the story in the recent past, probably to match the soundtrack filled with overplayed crap better. Cynical jab aside, Marvel succeeded again in making an excellent film centered around a … Continue reading

84% Gym Attendance!
Today is Day 100 of 2019 and my “score” is 84% or in English, I have been to the gym and closed the rings on my Apple Watch 84 times out of 100. So back when I was going to … Continue reading
A shirt to go with the Netflix show
Thanks to Netflix picking up this show being made by the same production company behind the CW’s DC Comic Book Sows and Riverdale, Hot Topic got my money because I’ve often been a fan of Archie‘s secondary characters: Sabrina and Josie & … Continue reading
1959: NASA introduces America’s first astronauts
Even if not everything in the movie or book, The Right Stuff, is completely true, I think most Americans know the story about the Mercury Seven. Back when the US was trying to catch up to the Soviet Union, military test … Continue reading
Adam Ruins Everything
Glad to see TruTV, formerly the insipid “reality” Court TV, with a hit show on Netflix (first season only). Adam is part Snopes.com, part Mythbusters and mostly what journalism is supposed to be, rolled into one 20-minute debunking of everyday issues: Airport Security, … Continue reading
1939: Italy invades Albania
I always thought Mussolini pulled this dumb stunt after WWII started but as you can see by the link, I was wrong. Admitting to being wrong of course is one of us Liberals’ weaknesses as Conservatives go full on no … Continue reading
LEGO 2: Must See (Great Sequel too)
The long-awaited sequel to The LEGO Movie finally arrived, we saw it on the opening weekend and it sadly tanked. It’s not why my review is way, way overdue…it’s playing at the discount theater and I think you buy LEGO 2 on … Continue reading
Five thousand posts!
Well that kind of snuck up on me. I wish I could’ve timed it better to coincide with a better life event such as my 20th anniversary as an official Apple employee (next week) or something more worthy (wedding, birthday). … Continue reading
1994: Kurt Cobain commits suicide
I remember seeing the main news story on MTV in the University Towers’ cafeteria as Kurt Loder followed up with the PSA-esque pleas telling other people to seek help if they felt like killing themselves. Despite my life-long bouts of anxiety, … Continue reading
Cats “know” their name
There are more details of the study through this link but the short version is that cats probably don’t “know” the sounds coming from our mouths are their name, it’s an association they’re making of us wanting their attention. Dogs … Continue reading
