Definitely checking out the Parker Jazz Club again!
Even before the Pandemic shut down some places, namely awful, shitty bars on Sixth Street, venues for drinking and hosting local talent have always come and gone since I moved here in 1994. There’s finally a new one I’m completely … Continue reading
Dell tells us how small he is while showing his ignorance
You can always expect a billionaire, college dropout to demonstrate his ignorance when it comes to History, Economics, Fiscal Policy and anything involving government. Being a Sociopath who fucked everyone over to get to their wealth was their priority since … 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
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

Obey your master! Master!
This should be an easy sell for Heavy Metal and UT Sports fans because it’s the same hand gesture! Plus it’s a European insult (with a little modification) and Ronnie James Dio learned it from his Italian granny as a … Continue reading
Real Estate follies, August 2021 Edition
The family across the street from Niko and me suddenly moved out. I’m talking a U-Haul and multiple stuffings of their car. Meaning, it didn’t look like it was planned very far in advance. Couldn’t have been an eviction, those … Continue reading
Now Travis County is going to Stage 5, thanks MAGAt dispshits
According to the numbers, Austin has over 64% of adults and children over 12 vaccinated while the rest of the state is 53%. Wow. Even Austin’s numbers are shit. Thanks to all the Joe Rogan/Alex Jones Bro’s, Libertarian Dumbfucks and … Continue reading
Stage Four restrictions return to Austin, thanks dickheads!
Austin has a pretty good vaccination rate but remember, we’re surrounded by Texas. This is a land filled with Ammosexuals, Neo-Confederates, Bigots and morons unaware their protests of “nobody helped me when I was on food stamps!” is a contradiction. … Continue reading
Texas Democrats tell GOP to suck it! 2021 edition
Last week, Governor Shitbag who only represents Whites making over six digits and are loyal to the Confederacy, called the expected “special session” to put forth the GOP’s voting reforms. There was a slim chance Texas could’ve gone for Grampa’ Brunch … Continue reading
Bender’s cousin?
I’ve always wondered about the CapMetro logo sewn into the seats on its light-rail cars. It’s supposed to be the Texas capital building but I can’t help wondering if it’s really a bending unit crossed with a Cylon. You know, … Continue reading

Taco Cabana bought by Californicators
Great. It’s not enough that the Californicators are moving here in great numbers now, jacking my property taxes to the point I may have to sell my house in five years thanks to their bullshit, bloated equity. Now they’ve acquired one … Continue reading
Austin is testing pizza-delivery ‘bots
The robot mostly made the news because it would be using the bike lanes in downtown Austin which might stir up our vocal cyclist community. I think the robots resemble a miniature Zamboni®. I couldn’t find out who the robots … Continue reading
Happy Juneteenth Day
It’s nice to see what was often a Texas-based holiday finally become a National Holiday in the US. The more amazing thing was how many Republicans voted with the Democrats on this. Currently, they can’t even have a compromise on … Continue reading
