  • The Vance Talking Bad About Musk AI Hoax

    I don’t really care that much about this. There are a lot of people who talk bad about each other. Gossip, planning, concern for their well-being. Call it what you want. People get together and speak negatively about other people. It’s sad, but I can’t make it stop. You probably can’t either. If you can,…

  • John Cusack

    The video that’s been going around of John Cusack talking political issues is so disappointing. I thought he would be smarter, or at least more informed. I don’t know why I thought that. Actors are just people that are talented at playing pretend. Nothing more. He repeated the same old tired lines: Elon Musk is…

  • Should Biden’s Pardons be Vacated?

    Trump recently announced that the pardons Biden signed near the end of his term were voided because they were signed with autopen. I don’t know that single fact, by itself, would be enough to vacate pardons.  It would certainly merit investigation, considering it’s possible that someone else was using Biden’s auto signature. However, this fact…

  • Several Popular You Tubers Switch to Rumble

    For years, You Tube has been the face of new media. People who represent the political right, like Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder got their message out to the world, leaning heavily on You Tube and daily shows. People who were traditionally more centrist or even left-wing, like Jimmy Dore, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool and…

  • Government Shut Down

    If it were true that a government shut down would genuinely put lives in jeopardy, it would be an indication that we are FAR too dependent on government and would need to massively scale it back and reduce our dependency upon it.

  • Peel my Banana and Let’s Fertilize

    For a couple of years now, I’ve been saving the shells from any eggs I cook. I accumulate them in a jug. On occasion, I use a glass bottle to smash and grind them into smaller pieces. Sometimes, getting awfully close to small-pebble size. I mix the shells and egg residue into potting soil. From…

  • I Can Help

    An oldie, but a goody, from back in the days when one hit wonders got turned into commercials for cleaning products rather than forgotten entirely. I don’t know if that’s actually a better fate or not, it just seemed like the point to make. I mean there’s the financial payoff, which isn’t a bad thing,…

  • Restoring my Family’s House

    I don’t have time to work on this today, but it popped into my head and I wanted to check on it before I forgot. My family started to research this a couple of decades ago, but didn’t get too far. It occurred to me that search engines have improved dramatically in that time, and…

  • I Didn’t Know Kudzu Was Edible and so Versatile

    This is my third version of this post and I’m determined to make it the most succinct of the three. Considering the breathtaking scope of the tangents I was embarking upon (or possibly digressing into), that shouldn’t be hard. What I find compelling about this video is that Kudzu is all over the place. It…

  • Eric Swalwell, Busted

    Sortor was on Tim Pool’s show last night talking about this. This is maybe the largest unforced error we’ve seen so far from Swalwell, and he’s had some dillies: Passing gas during a live television appearance. Veiled threats about using nukes against Americans who rebelled against the government. Fabricating evidence in the second Trump impeachment…
