  • Fun Movie Friday–Thunderheart

     Because I was looking at Val Kilmer movies.  This is a good one.  Again with Graham Greene, who is awesome. Continue reading

  • Thursday Meme Drop

     New word on the Peanut story.  He bit someone when they found him in a closet.  Because what animal, when cornered by anyone would not?  Hell’s bells–I’d bite someone if I was cornered.   And instead of quarantine, which would have been logical, they killed him immediately.  I hope they burn in hell. Continue reading

  • Some thoughts about last night and about character

    First thought–thank goodness it came out the way it did.  My relief is palpable.  Trump came out and lauded his family and his team as well as the voters.  Of course wins are awesome, but he spread the wealth–didn’t take the glory for himself.  And that shows character and true teamwork.  The fact that he… Continue reading

  • San Jose State–The beatings will continue until morale improves

    One of the assistant coaches for the San Jose State University volleyball team has been suspended for  “breaches of student and employee privacy.” This happened after she filed a Title IX complaint regarding the inclusion of a male on the women’s team (if you’ll recall, five universities have forfeited rather than play against this team because… Continue reading

  • It's a man, baby!

     The boxer from Algiers who literally smashed through his female opponents at the Olympics, is, indeed, a man.  Biological man.  XY chromosomes.  High testosterone levels. No breasts, no uterus.  Not intersex.  Has a condition that caused his testicles not to drop (but they are there) and, according to reports, has a micropenis (that’s why he… Continue reading

  • Universities as data brokers

    Arizona State’s student body (plus some parents and alums) got a text from the Harris campaign.  It has raised some concerns about student privacy but it was all legal.  You see, there’s a loophole in FERPA regulations (the academic version of HIPPAA) that says that anything that is considered to be ‘directory information’ (and this… Continue reading

  • Monday Pre-Election Day Meme Drop

    I do want to make a comment about all of the squirrel memes below.  There was absolutely NO reason to kill those animals, even if they bit someone (big if).  Ten day quarantines work.  I hope anyone involved with it reaps a backlash that feels like a chainsaw up their nethers.  Democrats have no concept… Continue reading

  • Sunday Meme Drop

  • Saturday Meme Drop

    NOTE:  He was charged with child porn despite the fact that they had messages of him talking about child rape and kidnap.  He also directed some of the child porn himself.  IMO, it’s pretty fucking close if not technically correct.   Continue reading

  • Civic Duty–Completed

     Went and voted earlier this week.  I am generally a stickler for voting ‘on the day’, but after reading a bunch of comments and stuff about shenanigans on November 5, decided to go ahead and get it done. Our central location had a line out the door when I got there and it was still… Continue reading
