Now that the conventions are over, the bands and singers are kvetching that their music was used over the sound systems. Seems ok when democrats do it. Republicans? Notsomuch. They weren't asked, so a hissy is in order. The latest few are Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Beyonce. It's the same thing every … Continue reading Here We Go Again

Packing Heat at the Fair
Big doings around here. The city of Dallas, or rather the people running the Texas State Fair have decreed that no one shall pack heat whilst they eat funnel cakes at the fair. By the way, I tried to find a piece at Dallas Morning News, but it was behind a paywall, of course. The … Continue reading Packing Heat at the Fair
Let the Games Begin
This is after a week of gaslighting, making Kamala Harris the bestest candidate evarrrr! We are told it was always thus, and the people loved her. Sure. Remember this? https://youtu.be/WabvabWvv8k?si=HZOfLP8F8Kbr4mZX An epic throat slit shanking on live TV. You see, Harris' specialty was locking up soul brothers for weed, keeping them in prison longer than … Continue reading Let the Games Begin
They Said Hurty Words
Apparently the imbecilic head of the secret service, Kimberly Cheatle, fell on her sword after getting roughed up in congress. I don't think that was her plan, originally. Personally, I think they should've brought in Aesop for the hammering: Somebody made the decision to half-ass Trump's protective detail all along. Somebody made the decision, despite multiple requests … Continue reading They Said Hurty Words
That’s a Big Nope, Nope, Nope
I opined about Winders 11 the other day. Mostly that it's minimum specs are above my 3 year old tower. Also because they are going to a subscription, no doubt, and I can't stand subscriptions for base functionality. Well....Looky here: It was also, apparently, an instruction manual for product developers at Microsoft. Windows 11 now … Continue reading That’s a Big Nope, Nope, Nope
TDS in the Wild
I joined Facebook again a few months ago, mostly because that's how many in my family communicate. I also like the feeds for Vice Grip Garage and other YouTubers I watch. I have few friends on it. I click-through on nothing. There's little on it but pics of me that are on the interwebs elsewhere, … Continue reading TDS in the Wild
Earworm
What makes you play Linkin Park over and over like a mental patient? https://youtu.be/tYjNupUBEP0?si=aJULElswTLdhlwst Telling me to goBut hands beg me to stayYour lips say that you loveYour eyes say that you hate There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faithWhat you build, you lay to wasteThere's truth in your lies, doubt in your … Continue reading Earworm
Happy Earf Day!
As usual, earth day snuck up on me. As PJ O'Rourke once said he did, I celebrated it by snacking high on the food chain and mixing all my recycling into the garbage. I went out to burn some hydrocarbons with the hot rod bike. I had a far different post planned and mostly written … Continue reading Happy Earf Day!
Unspeakable Horror
Talk about appropriation: https://youtu.be/x9XHMK3nWr4?si=veea5Rscpel2YrQ5 I saw the hype about this horrible remake and dismissed it. Fact of the matter, Beyonce doesn't have the voice for country. Wrong tenor, timbre, accent, and cadence. Wrong culture. I stumbled on some criticism at American Thinker. It is a truth universally acknowledged that all sane and decent people like, … Continue reading Unspeakable Horror
An Interesting Observation
I had good friend call me the other night. He goes dark for weeks at a time sometimes, and then emerges to catch up on what’s been going on. He said he was worried about me. Turns out his son nearly died over the New Year’s holiday. He got married very early, and after four … Continue reading An Interesting Observation
