I think this is Nubby’s cousin
I’m guessing the chicken was still warm when the humans put it in the fridge since cats go by smell if they’re going to eat something. Our cat Nubby is equally fearless and stupid in that he’d risk his life … Continue reading
They also forgot “schools” sadly
I love this bumper sticker because it ties in with a recent news story I heard on NPR (which it NOT STATE MEDIA) about a state legislator in Nebraska fighting for LGBTQ+ rights via a filibuster. She made a huge … Continue reading
Ant-Man…Quantamania: Must See, screw the naysayers!
I know I’m late to post this and sadly it’s allegedly MCU’s first major failure or flop or whatever, especially in light of how everybody and their uncle is jumping onboard the “Marvel needs to give it a rest” train. … Continue reading
Twenty-four years at Apple, Inc.
Now I feel like one of those decrepit, asshole US senators I criticize because I’ve been employed at the biggest computer company (in value via stock shares, assets) for the equivalent of four terms. And I was just re-elected into … Continue reading

Rest In Peace Al Jaffe!
So sad to find out a legend, a word I don’t use lightly, passed but he made it to 102! No Boomer or Gen X upbringing would be complete without Al’s contributions to MAD via his two major contributions: the Fold-in … Continue reading

Not Another Teen Movie
From the Scary Movie team trying to make something as well-made as Airplane! and Mel Brooks’ good streak came a take on all the Teen Romance-Coming-of-Age comedies. It was also Chris Evans’ big debut before he became best known as Captain America … Continue reading

New Delhi achieved!
A very overdue destination! Hell, I was within striking distance in January but I had to get sick, then COVID-19 sick, then Daylight Savings Time acclimation and now I’m back in the groove! Not so much the doctor harping on … Continue reading
Everything Everywhere All at Once: Must See
I saw this last Spring and since it kicked ass at the Oscars®, something I find impossible given how the so-called Academy prefers boring-ass shit released between Christmas and MLK Day. You know…Woody Allen’s navel gazing or people in period-piece … Continue reading
Gov. Abbott plans to “correct” Austin outcome again
Once again, the party of small gubmint which is a dog whistle for the Neo-Confederacy, plans to pardon convicted murderer Perry. Abbott’s colostomy bag must be backed up as it’s filling up his brain with more than the usual amount of … Continue reading
This fortune cookie is a little late?
We had Chinese or Chinese-derived food Thursday night and what a great fortune in the cookie for dessert! It says “a cat,” nothing about a few or currently eight. Worry not, Mama Rhea with her babies Romulus and Remus will … Continue reading
Austin dishes out justice where Wisconsin failed
A jury convicted shit bird Daniel Perry of murdering BLM protestor Garrett Foster. Not that Perry’s claims of “self-defense” holds up when Foster was shot five times. I can see once but any more is excessive and probably done in … Continue reading
Yesterday was a Bizarro Bizarro dream come true
Can’t believe my personal wishes went two for two. Honestly, I figured Chicagoans would panic and vote for the “law and order” douchebag after what a horrible mayor Lightfoot was. Wisconsin wasn’t a complete surprise since enough residents are finally … Continue reading
Saw the doctor yesterday, I’ll live
Had to go back in order to get a refill on my irb-something which is for high blood pressure. Yeah, how 25-year-old me would be impressed at 54-year-old me. I know neither version is thrilled about this upcoming birthday, I’m … Continue reading
Kittens have been found, Mama Rhea is not pleased
Jennifer stumbled upon Remus and Romulus by accident this afternoon by opening one of her drawers on her side of the bed. The very cunning, but not completely brilliant Rhea carried the kittens to our headboard/bookshelf where this an opening … Continue reading
RIP Seymour Stein
You may not know his name but you may know his label, Sire Records. You better know the numerous artists he signed: The Ramones, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, The Smiths, everything but the girl and (unfortunately) Madonna. Although Sire was … Continue reading
