Get your stopwatches ready…

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-63950962 I am taking bets on how long it will take the fossil fuel industry, its investors, and its clients to invent a ‘sky is falling” WARNING about fusion energy. My money is on the Sunday morning interview shows 18 December, 2022, for the record. Email your bets.

Waiting….

I’m buzzing with anticipation for the outcome of Kari Lake’s lawsuit. She is demanding that election officials change the outcome of midterms so that she WINS! If she triumphs, it’ll be the green light for me to go ahead with my lawsuit against MGM casinos: I will DEMAND that they change my last poker handContinue reading “Waiting….”

Our Doom: Just An Academic Subject Now

This is not meant as a satyrical piece. I just think that the backgrounds from Doom did an admirable job at illustrating the landscape of post apocalyptic Earth. For starters, I looked at the wiki for “Motor Vehicles,” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle#Comparison_by_regions). It indicates that there were 1,083,528,000 car registrations world wide. Of these registrations, about 16. millionContinue reading “Our Doom: Just An Academic Subject Now”

I Suppose It’s Just Me…

…but shouldn’t 100% of the Republican Party condemn Trump’s explicit call for termination of the Constitution (https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/03/politics/trump-constitution-truth-social/index.html)? And if the party is incapable of such an obviously decent reaction to a call from a presidential candidate to dissolve the key document on which U.S. government is based, shouldn’t the Democratic party be trumpeting Republicans’ moralContinue reading “I Suppose It’s Just Me…”

Are We Coming to Our Collective Senses?

What I have always found so frustrating about the rise of Trumpism is not that he was such a revoltingly bigoted and ignorant grifter, but that he had so many mindless followers who were praying for him to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue so that they could ignore it. It appears, mercifully, that the crestContinue reading “Are We Coming to Our Collective Senses?”

Me? I live in the United States of Oceania

With a rightist billionaire taking over CNN, and Florida and Texas trying to get rid of investment funds that don’t buy fossil fuel stock (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-25/esg-pros-say-republican-anti-woke-bashing-hurts-regular-savers ), western U.S. states crossing their arms like there is no water crisis, and red-state neighbors thinking they have a right to know why someone visited an abortion-legal state, it’sContinue reading “Me?

“My rifles comforted me after the terrifying future revelations portrayed in Planet of the Apes.”

–Charlton Heston The news is getting better. Our neighbor state Indiana has joined 23 other states in permitting public carry of a pistol without a permit.: https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/indiana-eliminates-permit-requirement-for-carrying-a-handgun-in-public/article_ac088279-07d7-5d41-89b4-2c00708edc27.html At least some states seem to be preparing their citizens for the post apocalyptic world. The flippant jokes I can make about my fears for the world areContinue reading ““My rifles comforted me after the terrifying future revelations portrayed in Planet of the Apes.””

3:10 to I am Legend?

Republicans Dust off their most outrageous slur: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/20/republicans-2022-campaigns-00018591 The slur is the acronym “RINO,” or “Republican In Name Only. Frankly, I was expecting the N-Word; or Immigrant;” or the anti-gay “F-Word,” or “Communist,” or practically any hateful word at this point. There is not a caliper accurate enough to measure my indifference to Trump-inspired kvetching.Continue reading “3:10 to I am Legend?”
