Happy 6000th Post and Star Trek Day!
One of my favorite TV shows and shared universes celebrates being on the air for 55 years! It’s amazing it ever existed given how much NBC behaved like they never wanted the darned thing. Then history repeated itself with Next Generation … Continue reading
Texas Snitch Site still on the move, rejected by Nazis!
To be fair to Epik, the host declined to help the Snitch Site not over the abortion issue but its collection of personal information and we know the White Power/Neo-Nazi movement requires secrecy. Remember, every identified asshole from Charlottesville lost … Continue reading
Summer 2021 is over today
My electric bill won’t agree about it for at least another month. I would hate to see how bad it would be if I didn’t have a NEST thermostat. I recently had to reprogram it, what a nuisance and something … Continue reading
Texas Snitch Site flees to join host for The Daily Stormer
I wouldn’t say the commercial web-host companies were exactly righteous, upstanding netizens or concerned Americans, Kapitalism often sides with oppressors unless it results in negative press/attention; see the US firms caught working with the Nazis. GoDaddy didn’t have a problem … Continue reading

Taming the backyard, phase two
Above is the first major view from the porch! It may not look like much but I blame the Sun pounding down on the ground. Trust me, I’m making progress. The immediate goal is to clear out a “moat” around … Continue reading

I wish I could time travel back to around the days I was in high school during one of the many heartbreaking, painful moves. Of all of them, I’ll go with when we left Houston for Indicrapolis in February 1984. … Continue reading
Not really a problem until next year for me
I’m mixed about my return to the campus in October getting pushed back to January. I miss my veal-fattening pen and its perks. However, they weren’t really going to be open or at full capacity. Ergo, what’s the point? It … Continue reading
1981: Austin Chronicle starts
When I first moved to Austin, I definitely got hooked on the Austin Chronicle and even said, if they had more comics with TV listings, you don’t need to buy the pro-Cancer (aka “Growth”) rag know as the Austin American-Statesman, a sad … Continue reading

[adult swim] is now 20
I talked about it in greater length a decade ago here. Amazingly, the part-time network is still going strong despite all the cord cutting because I think [adult swim] has made the transition to streaming. If not, it’s made a … Continue reading
When entering Texas, set your watch back 150 years
It’s all over the news and of course Twitter, probably FeceBook (I don’t miss it), so on. Being a Bernie supporter (no regrets), but not an unreasonable one (not a Bro); it’s all our fault as per the lazy, knee-jerk … Continue reading
September 2021 is here but school starting varies
Back in July, I celebrated Aliens turning 35. In honor of starting Marquette 35 years ago, I decided to go with Rodney Dangerfield’s most successful movie. I tweaked the colors to be more in line with my alma mater. It’s not … Continue reading
