Move That Bean!

Image
  I absolutely adore the Bean in Chicago's Millennium Park. I think it's clever and whimsical and fits right in amongst the great art of Chicago, a city with the best skyline and beautiful architecture. It's been awhile since I've visited the Bean, and I wish I had known about the shenanigans which happened last Sunday. A flyer went out across the Internet inviting folks to gather at the Bean in order to push it seven inches so that a pickle and supplies could be given to the man that has been trapped underneath the sculpture for a few years. I want to meet the person who came up with this idea. I want to meet all 250 people who showed up and actually tried to move the Bean just seven inches. It moved not one inch- not a pinch. That's actually a relief, but unfortunately, the dude with a pickle craving is out of luck.  Gosh, y'all, can you feel the change? The blue wave washed away my anxiety. I've been so chilled and really feeling fantastic these past few ...

Brand Finale

Image
  Ten years, with seven to be served before a possibility of parole. Seems everyone now has an opinion after Russell Brand received his sentence today. Sides have been established, from those condemning him to others supporting him, claiming there was no actual evidence, just a bunch of disgruntled fans who want attention. There's no point arguing with them. Most are projecting their own behavior.  I did see a post on Bluesky which noted that if anyone jokes about Brand meeting Karma in the otherwise name as Bubba and we wish him a reenactment of what he has done to his victims, they will be blocked.  Hey, fuck you. I am one of those people who would like Brand to know what it feels like to be raped. Too severe? Too cruel? Definitely not woke. A bit hypocritical as well. All of the above. Guess what? I don't care. It's not punishment enough for him to be housed, fed and very likely receive massive perks because that's how the world turns. He claims to be terrified. Good...

Tears Before The Hot Sauce

Image
  I just love when I can write about the Widow Kirk. I really haven't been paying too much attention to her lately, although recently I've seen her mug blubbering on several media sources. I still didn't care, but then I read some of the headlines where her enemies accuse her of selling hot sauce as she wipes away a dry eye and talks about her dearly departed all in the same sentence. Seriously!? Nah, not Erika. Then I watched a video. I'm not sure why this is going viral now when this happened in December of 2025, unless she's still cranking out the drama and wet wipes. I also went to the hot sauce website and learned the sauce was inspired by Charlie's grandfather, a football player and coach. I didn't quite get the connection how Grandpa inspired hot sauce. I didn't see in his bio that he ever made hot sauce. Anyway, as I listened to widow Kirk talk about her traumatic experience in the grocery store upon seeing Kirk's Hot Sauce where she sheds a...

The Stand-off

Image
  Hero or zero? I'm on the fence with this one.  They're so damn cute! And she scares me. If she stood in front of me, I'd pee my pants. It's no surprise this woman is a semi retired professor. In her spare time she likes to hunt down food delivery robots and have a stand-off. The poor things are paralyzed and I'm doing exactly what she said we would do- we are normalizing this little box of nuts, bolts and chips. Chips!? Why yes, both kinds. The robots are mostly being used by young college students in her community, probably students she has taught. The issue for Marvin is she believes these little boxes are taking jobs away from humans.  I gotta ask- Are they really? Has anyone actually looked into how many humans have suffered because a robot can now deliver your food- if you allow it to do so? When I order food, 99% of the delivery people are aging male hippies who smell like weed and dirty clothes. In the very few times a young person has delivered my pizza o...

Taking Out The Trash

Image
  I received a notice in the mail a few days before November 3rd stating that after this election the public will know that I voted. It claimed who I voted for would still be private but now anyone can see if I vote. I wish I had kept the postcard but I tossed it. I didn't really give it much thought and in some ways liked the idea that anyone can see if you sat home on election day. It's the ultimate shame. Now my niece who never votes will be outed. I couldn't find any information on whether this is a Trump act (search engines no longer useable*) I'm also not naive into believing my vote is or has ever been private. Why do I only receive flyers before an election from the Democratic party? Last year I received a strange letter informing me how my neighbors voted. Apparently they don't vote because only my name was on it and I believe it did reveal my party affiliation. Personally, I don't care if people know who I voted for, but I do understand why it's no...

Trump Invited Him In

Image
 Yeah, so much for wanting to work with the dumocrats. It took a few days to see how Trump would react to a blue ass kicking. The vampire has been whispering in his ear. Wiles is out. (Woman number seven?) Two months. How much damage can Stephen Miller cause in the next two months? It was so nice to feel hopeful and truly happy for two whole damn days. The beginning of the orange man's end is going to be rough. He's decided to take us down with him because he's an old motherfucker who cannot abide losing.  We have a boatload of things to do. I have so much confidence in our new Senators and Congress, they want changes just as much as we do. Schumer and Jeffries need to go. So, as we again put on our big pants we can do our part. Protect our neighbors at all costs. ICE is coming for them. We need to stand up to these thugs.  It's not over. 

If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

Image
 No. I will not accept anyone other than James Garner as Jim Rockford. I do not understand why we need remakes of movies or tv shows that were great, or for that matter, stank. Can y'all not come up with something original!? David Boreanaz will be the new Rockford. Boreanaz was perfectly fine as Agent Seeley Booth in the tv series, 'Bones.' I have nothing against him, but come on already. Seriously, why can't you think of something else to put David in? I went there, folks. I asked Chatgpt to come up with a tv series with a lot of action. It took less than three seconds for this- the plot, the premise, the stars, the episodes... Honestly, it's not my type of show, but I'm guessing it would be watched.  I say, I say again... There's more, but you get the gist. Three measley seconds. And you better believe people do this and pitch AI as their own all the time. Anyway, the new Rockford will premiere on NBC, then go to Peacock, wherever that is. It might be good...
