I think the kids’ joke punchline is “Ophelia Butts” It’s a gray day with lots of drippage action here in one of the bluest cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia (and it’s been that way since the Yankee oppressors evacuated in the 1870s). A bit odd watching places I used to frequent in Norfolk being … Continue reading “Ophelia Buts”
After a week off, I’m back to doing what I do on the weekend. Pretty much. I’m on puppy duty after an unspeakably long Friday. It’s a situation where I’ve been handed something that, yes, I’ve done in hte past, but I really don’t have a good idea what’s going on, and my physical limitations … Continue reading “Saturday”
After the past few days’ marathons, back to the disturbing dreams. Yes, it’s on the to-talk-about-list with my psychologist when I see her next. I couldn’t resist writing that down, and it ended up with me being awake for several hours. But it was something so, um, noteworthy, that I had to get it down … Continue reading “Twenty-three (8/12)”
Yeah, I’m so busy I really am not having time to devote to this, but I am dedicated. Just the act of plunking away helps recenter me, maybe? Watching news about the severe weather. Looks like the Beltway Swamp is pretty calm. I need to get with the guy, who I think I was supposed … Continue reading “Fifteen (8/4)”
I am out of town. No, I don’t want to write about a lot of the particulars here. I will say that the American Airlines route between Reagan National and New Orleans is a great route. I never thought I’d enjoy flying 737s and A319/320/321s, but, god, they’re so much better than the 2×2 CRJs … Continue reading “Wednesday”
Background music… (And apologies to myself, or anyone who reads this in the future, for any broken/dead links; everything gets deleted, eventually…) MacMoMo that is. On Orkut back in the day, there was a particularly-radical Islamic grad student at a university in Scotland who was particularly intrigued with the “new left,” or “Libertarian Socialists.” His … Continue reading “Return of the Mac”
I’d started writing this before the final episode of the podseries was released. I still feel pretty much the same way I felt after hearing JKR’s final bits. So I’m leaving this as is, and will add bits after…. I’ve been considering lately, and no shit, it’s been costing me sleep, things about the issues … Continue reading “Reax”
I really haven’t written much here lately. Variety of reasons for that, but there’ll probably be more to come. After Robby Soave’s findings about what Meta (read: FB, IG) did in the early months of the Biden Administration is very, very, very disturbing. (Story in case the Tweet thread disappears…) The Livestream is here. After … Continue reading “Do It Again”
January 2nd, but kind of New Year’s Day because that fell on a Sunday. Things are moving erratically, but I’ve really been about taking my own damn advice, and just leaving when things are happening that I don’t like. There’s lots of really awful people around. I could get upset about it, but that won’t … Continue reading “Out With The Old”
Or people just forget. Popping in on my podcast feeds lately has been Andrew Heaton’s The Political Orphanage. Specifically, he interviewed the guests from the SoHo Forum Debate I attended last fall. One of my randomly-consumed podcasts is The Political Orphange by Andrew Heaton. Recently, he’s interviewed the participants in the debate. Krystol first, then … Continue reading “Everything Gets Deleted Eventually”
