(A.K.A. Non-Original Rants)

  • This is just weird

    I don’t have cable–I have an antenna that gets me 60-some channels (of which I usually watch 6 or 7). But that’s not the impetus for this post. One of the commercials that’s running in constant rotation is for speculums (speculae?). You know, the things that Ob/Gyns use during pelvic exams. They apparently have a… Continue reading

  • Letting their hypocrisy flag fly free… NIH employees would rather quit than move…

    A bunch of higher level officials at the NIH were told they were being reassigned to the Indian Health Service. They could choose Oklahoma, Alaska, or New Mexico.

None of whom have a position in the government. But retained their access to materials to which they have… Continue reading

I’ll paraphrase… Ivy League grads figure that once they have their credential, then they don’t have to do anything else. And their sense of entitlement is turning employers off. And employers are starting to realize that actual skillsets matter more than… Continue reading

  • Just Stop Oil–Finally reading the room

    Those asshats at Just Stop Oil are starting to think that throwing orange cornstarch on Stonehenge and blocking traffic might not be the way to go. Perhaps it’s because some of them are now in the slam. Perhaps it’s because Greenpeace just got a judgement against them to the tune of $667 million, which is… Continue reading

  • Tony and Ezekiel

    Not sure why but this made me laugh my ass off. They’ve done takeoffs using bird, horses, dogs, and other people. Continue reading
