Light rail expansion? Finally!
Now will come the opposition from all the Libertarian/Republican assholes who think they have a right to drive an SUV/Hummer getting 10 mpg and they shouldn’t be taxed for infrastructure! Screw them, I pay for the cops who only “protect” … Continue reading
RIP Rupert Hine
The announcement of Rupert’s passing was made a few days ago but I stumbled upon it today during my daily newspaper scans (usually the New York Times and The Guardian). For me, he will forever be the Fixx’s sixth member since he … Continue reading
SCOTUS rules in favor of expanding Title VII
I got the good news from my friend Matthew first and it’s a good thing because he’s a lawyer and could dumb it down for me. In short, SCOTUS ruled in a 6-3 decision (all four Liberals with Justices Roberts … Continue reading
Meet Jennifer
Despite 2020 being a bigger dumpster fire than 2016’s finale, hope has sprung eternal in my announcement and introduction of Jennifer as my girlfriend! We met through a dating app (OK Cupid if you must know), decided to have drinks … Continue reading
Dolls/Robots are getting a little too real?
Earlier this week, a Dutch road inspector thought he spotted a dead body in the bushes (your browser may offer to have Google translate intervene). Fortunately, it was just a sex doll somebody ditched. The doll was removed and hopefully … Continue reading
RIP Denny O’Neil
Another legendary person who helped mold modern comic books passed away peacefully in his sleep. Denny was a vanguard when it came to writing. Unlike many of his contemporaries at DC Comics, he was a journalist before contributing to Green Lantern … Continue reading
A flying ship!
With the return of the Eberron Campaign (a pseudo Steampunk world) to D&D comes the awesome minis to flesh out that world! I do have the core book explaining it but regardless, I had to have this sky boat. Being … Continue reading
Rocketman
When it comes to a Biography or Auto-Biography movie, this is more like it! Right away the tagline says, “The only way to tell his story is to live his Fantasy.” Even if it weren’t Elton John, this should’ve been … Continue reading

NASCAR bans the flag of traitors and terrorists!
It only took the organization decades to finally ditch the stars and bars representing the traitorous Army of North Virginia but I’ll take it. The decision may eat into the racing association’s fanbase yet I’m confident there was some cynicism … Continue reading
A new mask from a friend!
My super cool friend Summer made this Avengers-themed mask to add to my arsenal to get through the waning days of the Pandemic…and to be ready for the inevitable second wave. I will be alternating it with my cousin’s groovy one … Continue reading
One good thing from the Depression of 2020
I know these places provide a service for people who are “beneath” the financial radar but the fact that they exist is very damning. America should find a way to empower every citizen, resident, whoever. Money is money and these … Continue reading
Sorry about my absence
It’s a lot of work typing with one hand for legitimate reasons…rimshot! The recent injury in my left arm get worked up whenever I do anything to pop the joint or what I consider, double-jointed action, namely putting my left … Continue reading
DC Comics and Diamond part ways
Yesterday, DC announced that it will have all its comic books, novels, etc. distributed by two new companies this Summer. For over 25 years, Diamond Comic Distributors has been the sole solution if you buy your stuff from direct-sales stores … Continue reading
The side that came with the main course
So my friend Jeremy ordered fast food recently in the Netherlands. Nevermind the sandwich/burger/hot dog thing he ordered, he said it was a letdown; instead of fries, potato chips or a full serving of onion rings, he got this. Spring … Continue reading
NBA & NHL plans will always have an asterisk next to 2020
The NBA owners approved their plan to have a big tournament in Orlando and I can’t remember if the NHL was going to do theirs. Let’s face it though, there’s never going to be a solution to please everybody because … Continue reading
