F is for Family: three seasons
I thought I wrote all about this adult cartoon back when it debuted on Netflix years ago. Worse, I warned you all to avoid Pacific Heat…twice, it is that bad. Well, F is finally airing what will be its fourth season next month so … Continue reading
New Chucks for May 2020, part 9
This design could be two different possible names: Holstein (like the cow) or Dalmatian (like the dog). I believe this is the last of the animal prints I got in the sale fro Converse. Given how it’s black and white … Continue reading
1980: The Empire Strikes Back hits theaters
The best of the nine core Star Wars movies made its debut in American theaters. It was the most anticipated film in my life that’s for sure. Empire opened on a Wednesday night too which was a big deal in 1980; new … Continue reading
More proof that the GOP is a Death Cult…
…and they want your death, obviously not theirs, they’re not quite cultists in the Lovecraftian tradition. How so? This article here. Gov. Shitbag is rolling back safety measures and enforcement because he prefers to cater to a noisy minority suffering … Continue reading
New Chucks for May 2020, part 8
Here’s my other pair covered in sequins! Pink and black. I think Cher, Lady Bunny and RuPaul would love wearing these.
They Live helps dispel a moron placard
I believe this outbreak of Moronavirus happened yesterday in California with their population of Ammosexuals and Astroturf stooges. Another demonstration from the Right’s blatant ignorance regarding Science and what Soviet-style Communism were actually like. How I wish I were there … Continue reading
Funny shelf by my friend Matt
This very humorous and irreverent shelf was made by my friend Matt for his daughter so she can put special things on…or is it in…it, keep them out of reach of her baby brother. I love the extra touches like … Continue reading
The Powerpuff Girls in high school
Given that cartoon and TV characters age at a slower rate (if at all), I thought this was a cool update of the Powderpuff Girls as high schoolers. Thanks to adolescence, Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup have developed their own tastes … Continue reading
An overdue Kate Bush shirt!
Not much else to say other than she is one of my top five artists of all time alongside Neil Finn, Peter Gabriel, Andy Partridge and Weird Al Yankovic. It’s why I also readily forgive anything she’s done after 1993 … Continue reading
1980: Mount St. Helen’s erupts!
I don’t remember too much about this the day when it happened. I think more of the news was I paid attention to was the aftermath, namely how all those people died because they chose not to evacuate. The eruption … Continue reading

Solar Opposites: one season
From the voice half of Rick and Morty comes a new cartoon mocking pop culture through alien eyes. What makes Solar even funnier is that everyone on earth they encounter could care less about them (Korvo, Terry, Yumylack and Jesse) being aliens. It’s … Continue reading
RIP Fred Willard
Fred will be dearly missed. He was an incredibly funny guy who never left anything on the bench when he performed. He was also a comedians comedian, an inspiration to his peers and the generations who followed (Tim and Eric … Continue reading
Everything is bigger in Texas…
…including the stupidity! Newsflash from Idiocracy! Somehow CV-19 infections are rising despite Gov. “Shitbag” Abbott’s order to open the state back up two weeks ago! Hmm. We in the People’s Republic of Austin are mostly ignoring his unscientific fiat by continuing to … Continue reading
1940: McDonald’s opens
Brothers Richard and Maurice began their restaurant which would become synonymous with America, Fast Food and crappy work (see McJob), for better or worse, on this day. If you saw their place on this day, you wouldn’t recognize it because … Continue reading
Sorry to Bother You
On the surface, Sorry appears to be a standard comedy about how working-class people are getting screwed out of their homes in the San Francisco/Oakland area. Instead I was pleasantly surprised to discover how Sorry is a cousin of Idiocracy. How so? It seems in … Continue reading →
