The People On The Bus...

  What do you think, should there be consequences for people who decide not to vote? In Australia you will be fined if you don't vote. In Brazil you will lose the right to renewing your passport or getting a driver's license. Singapore too has strict laws and punishment regarding voting. There are pros and cons to this issue, the most obvious is impinging on one's rights. Should someone be forced to cast a vote? Critics mention it will be the poor who will suffer the consequences. Aren't they already by not choosing to try and make a difference? Honestly, I find it a weak defense. Yes, there are people who have no way to get to the polls. Mail in voting is an option. There is no cost. I use it. You don't need to buy a stamp. You need one witness you could find on the street if you don't have family or friends. You don't have to spend a penny on fuel. Stick the ballot in a mailbox.  I don't believe the problem is because people are too poor to get to a po...

Just Practicing My Writing Skills

Image
  I really don't have much to say about anything today but I gotta practice my writing skills, so let's have a chin way regarding the work place and work office canoodles. I've never had one, myself. Most of the men I worked with were farting, smoking, beer bellied neanderthals. I did have a massive crush on a former boss who was fifteen years younger than me. He was a punk so I still don't understand my infatuation. We shared a pizza slice once so that was as far as our interlude went.  So, Eric Swalwell and Katie Miller? That's a girl who'd latch onto whatever she could get and what she got wasn't even leftovers, it was the grease on the bottom of the pan. She always looks like she hasn't bathed in a week or so- there's definitely something off with Katie. I don't wanna go there but can you imagine Katie and Nosferatu in bed? I mean, Ewwwwwwwww... Then we have Kristi and her boy toy, Corey, who no longer need to hide their affair. It's prob...

A Burnt Dick

Image
  I finally watched the movie, ' Burnt ,' starring Bradley Cooper. I had stayed away because critics hated it, but I was more interested in Cooper's face which some say has been altered. He also apparently has married Gigi Hadid, a model. I dunno, but that movie is horrible! It's an old movie so if you haven't seen it yet, tough, because I'ma gonna get into it. It's about an asshole, Bradley, who in the movie was a renowned chef until he got into drugs. So now he is trying to start over but that drug thing left him some baggage. Did I mention he's an asshole? Chef Ramsey would be delightful to work with compared to this douche. He not only screams and insults his staff, he throws plates and other kitchen instruments around.  I worked one day with someone like this. It was some marketing job and my first task was to go through a TV Guide and cross out certain names. It was weird, but I played along, all the while Frau Himmler stood right in front of me go...

A Short PSA

Image
  Anyone who has the gall to criticize Martha Reeves needs a time out. She is 85 years old and the song is a fucking stupid ass hard to sing anthem for anyone.  Fuck y'all. Try listening to her in her prime when Martha and the Vandellas were one of the best groups in the 60's. I'm going to guess they were treated like shit because they were black women. She's a survivor. She deserves some respect and I'm just disgusted with any of you who made her feel like shit.  Grow up. You apparently learned nothing in kindergarten. 

You Think You Know Me

Image
  I think most of us have been in a public place where someone comes up and starts talking to you as if they know you. The sad part is, they probably do but you don't remember them at all. It's truly a weird situation and quite awkward because you have no idea how to reply to them. I once ran into a woman in the Jewels who started talking about her new dishwasher or something. I felt I had to say something so I asked her how her boys were. She replied she has three girls and just kept on talking as if she didn't notice I was trying to dig a hole to hide in. That's the usual awkward situation, but this one is even stranger because this guy I see occasionally around town seems to know me and I have zero idea who he is. I have pondered this far too long, yet, it's absolutely bizarre that every time I run into him he has conversations as if we know everything about each other. When I say I run into him, he's usually thirty feet away from me when he sees me and start...

Review of Project Hail Mary

Image
  I was visiting a friend yesterday and we watched the movie, 'Project Hail Mary.' If you are on Bluesky you may have noticed the constant feeds by "people" who just LOVE this movie.  Spoiler Alert! Dr. Grace (Ryan Gosling) is a brilliant scientist who teaches middle school kids about science. First of all, the scene with the kids wanting to know about science is a big fat fake. This is America, where we treat our teachers with disdain and hate science even more. But, I digress. So, this brilliant mind is teaching in a school because he can't seem to behave himself. He's a bit of a clown with a temper. Not exactly like the Terrifier clown but more, a goofy nerd. One day a group of scientists stop by and threaten him and his career because they need his mind to solve a very big problem. Something is eating our sun and all the stars except for one. Grace helps them figure out the problem in five seconds and then tells them, "good luck," whereupon the m...

Mile High Jesus

 I have a feeling this might catch on. A woman started preaching in an airplane while the passengers were waiting for a delayed takeoff. After she managed to invoke a few holy words, she was duly escorted off the plane. She was appalled and didn't seem to understand what the problem was. As she queried, "Don't I have the right to free speech!?" She looks like she has had the magat glow up. If you read the article from the Daily Rag and scroll down to her images, there is one where you couldn't figure out if that was actually a mannequin. 👇 All brain cells have left the building. She claims she converted two people. I have little doubt they converted to the Noodle God. But hey, ma'am, you wanna play that game? As your reward for being a clueless member of the evangelical cult, you will be required to sit during an eighteen hour flight and listen to the Islamic Quran, Hindu Vedas, Jewish Tanakh, Buddhist Tripitaka, The Book of Mormon and the Nine Satanic State...
