Fox has been beating the "wife-beater" drum very hard the last several days.

Nothing says "civil rights" like trial-by-Fox. Right every time, right? Too right.

I'm still here. We've been dog-wrangling, which has taken up a surprising amount of time since New Year's, trying to integrate a new dog with our old dog, and so far it's been difficult.

I'll be posting more soon. I'm still reading what people have to say and watching the passing show.

No offense taken. Personally, I wouldn't have written such a depressing story.

So the only person of any note who's going to pay a price for the attempt to steal the election of 2020 and overthrow democracy is Rudy Giuliani?

The system works, right? Right?

It's always entertaining how quickly the Quislings and Petains of this world hurry to out themselves as soon as the wind shifts.

I still don't understand why anyone would want to own one of the godawful, ugly, farcical things. It just seems like a complicated way of funneling money to Trump.

I don't give a shit what she looks like. Looks are unimportant -- Kari Lake is conventionally pretty and she's a screeching, dangerous nutcase. MTG's a monster, and that's what matters.

He's a stupid "dick". Who doesn't know how to use "quotes" or CAPITALIZATION.

Sadly, these people cannot be shamed. It started a long time back, and we keep trying to point out their consistent and staggering hypocrisy, and the fools who keep voting for them ignore it, or rewrite reality to something more palatable to them.

That Orange Man attempts to make the death and national honors for a 100 year old, much-loved ex-president about him. What a surprise.

I feel bad "liking" such a catalog of obvious racism and right-wing double standards, and I also feel a bit pointless considering that the people who voted in the bastards don't care about truth or hypocrisy, but I'm doing it anyway.

Keep telling the truth. It can't hurt.

Happy New Year. May it be a much better year than many of us are expecting (dreading) and full of excellent surprises.

I love you all, to the very best of my ability and energy. But I'll need some help -- it's a big world.

Maybe he can, but when he ports in the new knowledge it removes his memory of the names of his kids.

Seems to me the military hasn't earned a profit in years. What happened to conquest and pillage? We should be melting down the treasures of our defeated foes and handing out the spoils to the populace. And turning the laments of their women into hilarious YouTube remixes.

Yeah, but then you have to write the next one. And the one after that. And so on.

The Blue Fairy told me that if I read to people, someday I may become a real boy.

Sunday 1am and 7pm, PST, I will be continuing to read The Martian Chronicles. Recorded readings of mostly my own work can be found at:

It's free. No salesman will call.

My response to the "president": you don't have a mandate, you have a mental illness. You already own the title of "worst US president ever" for alienating allies, cuddling with dictators, and letting a million innocents die while you lied about Covid. It will only get worse for you and all of us.

God, Elon Musk is a stupid, self-important prick, pimping the AfD (racist party) in Germany. All this because he failed to treat his own trans child properly and thinks she was "radicalized" by Twitter. Because he's rich, everyone in the world has to pay for his godawful parenting and tiny soul.

This one scares me a lot. We have progressed to where an error in polling is now 'lese majestΓ©', and they haven't even taken power yet.

I hope the Register fights this all the way to the corrupted Supreme Court, for whatever good it will do.

So much for the liberal main stream media. Apparatchik billionaires. What a surprise.

So once again we have proved that The System Works!

(The system: if you're rich and connected, you're going to be okay and escape all responsibility for anything you do wrong. If you're not, tough @#$%, you lose.)

Yay!

Thought for the day:

Go away, world. Still drinking coffee. Catch me later.

I'm tired of giving money to Amazon and Jeff Bezos, especially after he quashed the Post presidential endorsement and seems perfectly thrilled with our new lizard (and fellow billionaire) overlords. Alternative sources of online shopping welcomed.

She doesn't want it so much for things she and they have already done. She wants a pardon in advance for what they're going to do to us all.

She's dumb as hell, but she's probably been told about Nuremberg.

Here's the big reveal: The internet itself has never made money, but has trained everyone to think everything on it is free. Which just means that ad revenue now runs the world even more than it used to, because you have to pay for things SOMEHOW.

We have cut the switch for our own back.
