Another demonstration of Kapitalism’s failure
This is one of Austin’s numerous homeless camp sites and it’s within a mile of my house; it’s not just an LA or NYC problem! Does it worry or bother me? Yes but not for the same reasons it upsets … Continue reading
Caloric goal achieved at gym!
It would be there sooner for a couple reasons that we all know, Covid-19 and not going to Planet Fatness. When I logged into the bike today, I was relieved that it set the next calorie goal to 200,000 since … Continue reading
Qatar Branch of the family visit!
It was a great surprise this week to have Cannon, Anje and Aaron in town for the week! The sucky part was that it was an emergency trip because Carolyn (Aaron’s mom/my ex-mother-in-law) had to undertake new cancer treatment. When … Continue reading
The impotent Democratic Party in one short cartoon
I recently heard the Fresh Air podcast about the GOP, namely the pro-Fascist faction, having their CPAC circle jerk in Hungary’s visible dictatorship. They then returned the favor with Orban being invited to the Orlando gathering. It’s disgusting and frightening to … Continue reading
ERCOT’s current solution from Abbott’s base
So far, our shit-bag governor putting the CEO of a truck-stop chain in charge of ERCOT isn’t really working out. As expected, the GOP-run Idiocracy has been begging people to scale back their AC usage and to not run major … Continue reading
1977: The Great NYC Blackout…of the Seventies
Although I wasn’t there, in New York, I do remember the events adequately because it was freaky to my eight-year-old brain. My parents were watching a movie (Made for Each Other, had to look it up!) on CBS/Channel 3, WCIA … Continue reading
An editorial from the Math-impaired
The only thing I give D&D 5E a round of applause for is their advantage/disadvantage rule with d20 rolls. Given how much players love to roll dice more than anything, it caters to their obsession. It’s a pretty clever solution yet … Continue reading
We’ve achieved peak Austin! Horribly Hot with Weird on course
Mucca Sacra! Nothing could be more Austin Weird than this stupid person on a scooter exposing their skin to third-degree burns in 10 minutes (or stage one skin cancer in 20). One friend thinks they’re from Venice Beach, CA where … Continue reading
Now the animals are just taunting us
After two years or so of the Pandemic, the animals are getting a little too close for comfort and I think they’re rubbing it in…hey, look at us, we’re not afraid of you dumb humans! This doe just hanging out … Continue reading
RIP Larry Storch
What a run for him! He made it to 99! I’m so glad he was a part of my childhood and then some too. Larry was invisible to me in my early childhood as Mr. Whoopee in Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons, the guy who … Continue reading
Rare incident of gun violence in Japan
Former Prime Minister Abe being murdered by a firearm was pretty shocking since guns, ammunition and all the means are very difficult to acquire in Japan. Sure, the Japanese people have strong passions but I think they’re incredibly civil with … Continue reading
RIP James Caan
Most of the obits focused on his roles as the hot-headed brother Sonny in The Godfather flicks but to a Sci-Fi nerd like myself he was more memorable as the greatest athlete ever in Rollerball, a dystopian story with corporations running the … Continue reading
Beijing achieved!
Rather bummed that Beijing doesn’t have a city flag like all the other places I’m arriving at but I’ll take this little victory on my virtual trip around the world. I owe the more recent destination’s success to stepping up … Continue reading
What a bunch of Incel Losers
I love the vandalism done to the photo yet these assholes remain an important warning sign of what may be going wrong in Amerika. Many people don’t know the whole story on how Germany went from being a nice, open, … Continue reading
