A study in Dysfunction

I find NextDoor mostly useless. But sometimes, it'll produce a nugget that gets me going. Like last night. I ran upon this: I didn't block her name because she's a councilwoman. A public figger. Homeless encampments, you say? From the link in the image: DALLAS - After years of shutting down homeless encampments only to … Continue reading A study in Dysfunction →

The Crazy Months

The election is coming up. So I get clipboard people at my door every week. Drives the dogs batshit crazy. Now, I don't open the door to clipboarders. But I'm sorely tempted to open it and let Aria take care of business. I'm not sure how Winston would react to that, but he is a … Continue reading The Crazy Months →

Are We the Baddies?

A couple sites I read bounced off the same topic, a historian re-imagining World War 2. In this case, a guy by the name of Darryl Cooper. I first saw it on Vox Popoli, with this excerpt: My intention here is not to defend the actions of the Third Reich or any of its leaders, … Continue reading Are We the Baddies? →

Gonna Miss Those Flush Toilets

Phil over at BustedKnuckles had a piece on us old farts leaving the workforce and, by and large, not being replaced. He's 100% right as usual. You can not tell me that they weren’t pencil whipping all of the calibrations and required maintenance schedules at that point because we could barely keep up with all … Continue reading Gonna Miss Those Flush Toilets →

Here We Go Again

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 →

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 →

I’m with Hanlon here

Lot of commentary this week over the Trump assassination attempt. BCE probably has the best and most entertaining. But I'm going with El Gato Malo here. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. And it's ugly stepsister, incompetence. and it’s not like the secret service is all that it once was. … Continue reading I’m with Hanlon here →

Happy Independence Day

Celebrate it whilst you can, I suppose. What would the founding fathers think of the evil simpletons running the joint these days? What would they think of that debate? What an embarrassing spectacle. This has been a week of gaslighting and excuses trying to tell us we didn't see what we saw and it's no … Continue reading Happy Independence Day →

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 →
