Seventeen years as a ‘blog

Posted on July 3, 2022 by Steve

Dang! Where did all the years go! Oh, that’s right, I squandered them staying alive. Nah! I would say squander is a bit too strong and overly negative. I just have mixed feelings while looking back and realizing, mucca sacra! If this incarnation … Continue reading →

Well…SCOTUS has now reached peak irrelevance

Posted on June 24, 2022 by Steve

It’s now official, the Minority Government in power hates women and poor people. This crap rationale of the most incredible verbal, philosophical yoga will be remembered when Amerikan Democracy went from dying to almost no pulse. I figured the country’s … Continue reading →

I chipped in my part for Kickstarter on the new d20/5E Modern

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Steve

A favorite element of D&D’s Third Edition (3E) debut in 2000 was how the designers made the revised core rules truly adaptable to other genres (just not superheroes as Champions proves it still CANNOT do well). They immediately proved my point with their … Continue reading →

Posted on March 20, 2022 by Steve

It’s a good thing the US finally got rolling on the shape of things to come even though other parts of the War Department, White House and Congress were getting pissed off at General Billy Mitchell (father of the US … Continue reading →

Texas Independence Day, what irony

Posted on March 2, 2022 by Steve

While Ukraine is up against a pretty brutal invasion from a Russian dictator, the “great” state of Texas has some parallel elements with the ongoing struggle between the two Slavic nation states. Firstly, the Texas War for Independence was similar to … Continue reading →

Today is Presidents’ Day and the GOP shows its true colors

Posted on February 21, 2022 by Steve

Firstly, from a non-partisan standpoint, February is technically not the best month since more US presidents were born in October (six) versus the four on this month. When I was growing up in IL, there was no such holiday, we … Continue reading →

Contrite mea culpa bingo card

Posted on February 11, 2022 by Steve

Joe Rogan continues to be the shitty, unwanted gift Austin received during the Pandemic and now he has been outed for saying racist and moronic things. Just like Louis CK or Brett Kavanaugh, instead of sincerely apologizing and cleaning up … Continue reading →

KMAG reaches 16,000 songs to work from

Posted on February 7, 2022 by Steve

Given all the hullabaloo about Neil Young withdrawing his tired, boring-ass music over Joe Rogan spreading his dipshittery via Spotify, I’m glad to announce my better, more intelligent stream hit a new milestone. KMAG now exceeds 16,000 songs to listen … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2022 by Steve

Those who don’t learn from History…try to sanitize it

Posted on January 25, 2022 by Steve

I wouldn’t be surprised if these were the posters Youngkin circulated around Virginia to solidify the White Trash and Centrist (aka Polite Racist) votes. How I wish Jim Kelly (the star on the poster) were still alive, he would’ve been … Continue reading →

Millenials can’t get a break with Boomers

Posted on January 18, 2022 by Steve

I can completely relate since I heard a similar litany spoken in 2000 when I was a younger person in the Eighties. Then the 2008 counterattack was “You didn’t listen to me and got a degree in something completely useless … Continue reading →

Why I don’t miss cable/satellite TV 2022

Posted on January 11, 2022 by Steve

I’m only a fair-weathered sports fan, aka I tend to watch Packers’ games when they play the Bears or they’re in the playoffs. However, I would say that meme is spot-on whenever I watch Fox’s Animation Domination Sundays or Futurama‘s brief … Continue reading →

Renaissance Faire/Fest was great

Posted on November 14, 2021 by Steve

Brought back two bottles of mead which has been a mystery and a staple of D&D for decades. Allegedly, it’s the favorite booze amongst elves or dwarves or gnomes, take your pick. It isn’t something you can get easily at … Continue reading →

1996: Fox News begins and never stops lying

Posted on October 7, 2021 by Steve

Twenty-five years ago, Murdoch and his minions felt the other corporate-owned networks were too far to the Left and/or Liberal. Mainly in how Clinton was skating toward a second term against Dole. Obvioulsy this meant there was a “media bias,” … Continue reading →
