Sponsored by the dirty cops lobby-union

The billboard demonstrates how dishonest and dirty the police unions are along with their Fascist/GOP allies. Firstly, Austin cut APD’s budget slightly; many felt it wasn’t even a drop in the bucket. Secondly, Austin was the only city that successfully … Continue reading

Howdy October 2020

I remember certain people saying we’d return to some sense of normality by now.  Did I believe it? Well…I was probably guilty of some return with limitations but I don’t think America is anywhere close as we’ve lost over 200,000 … Continue reading

Music Monday brought to you by…

This is a hard to find CD because anyone under 40 only streams and treats music as a disposable commodity. I’m definitely out of touch with what younger people like anyway, the only song I recognized was a cover of … Continue reading

Shared Pandemic Project 2020

Jennifer has past experience with fostering kittens and she decided to get this batch as a project to take our minds off the boredom, and maybe show me how it’s done. The photo above is a mixed family: the orange … Continue reading

Took a couple days off

Last weekend wasn’t so great for me health wise on top of America becoming the Right-Wing, Fascist Kingdom the GOP has had a boner for since Goldwater. Lot of dizzy spells, probably a combination of dehydration and the blood pressure … Continue reading

Typesetting/Layout matter, lesson 1

Plus, this is a quick lesson on spotting fakes. You can tell that someone sloppily modified this with computer software (PhotoShop being the most common) as you can see the discoloration under the letters. Plus I’ve worked with marquees during … Continue reading

The Burger Wars’ first casualty…Fuddruckers

Since they’re owned by the same people who threw in the towel on Luby’s and this chain has fewer than 200 restaurants, we shouldn’t be shocked to see Fuddrucker’s (or it’s future names in Idiocracy) go down. Before the 2020 Pandemic, … Continue reading

Now comes September 2020

This is always an ambivalent month. When you’re a kid it sucks because Summer Vacation is over and you need to return to prison which is how you feel with grade school and to some extent, high school. Meanwhile, you … Continue reading

Crappy 2020 summed up, September 2020 edition
