I've been scribbling notes regarding the Charlie Kirk brouhaha for the past month or so, wondering if it's actually worth posting about. I mean, what more is there to say about a toxic potato-headed white nationalist whose claim to fame was spreading christofascist bullshit and "debating" "woke" college students? (BTW, let me state for the record that I'm not happy the guy was murdered. Even a

 DAMMIT, NOT DIANE! I was texting with my friend Shelley about favorite films recently, and she asked a hypothetical question: if you were on your deathbed and you were able to pick ONE movie to watch, the last movie you'd see before shuffling off this mortal coil, what would it be?For me? Annie Hall. No question.   "Wonderful, then why don't you get William F. Buckley to kill

Thanks, That Was....Fun?I've been thinking a lot about writing, and why I haven't done much of it over the past few years. Part of it is time and the lack of it (we moved back to the Indianapolis area in early 2024 so I could help take care of my Mom, who has Alzheimer's). Another reason is that I've been channeling the creative energy I used to put into writing into making art, mainly painting

RESCUED FROM OBSCURITY: "My mind was a mess before you brought happiness..."Dredging up this song from the dark recesses of my brain reminded me how much I loved my Pandora stations back in the day. In the mid-aughts (2004 to 2006-ish) when I was still working mind-numbing office jobs in Minneapolis, Pandora saved my sanity. "Poodle Rockin'' was one of the suggested songs that

ODDS AND ENDS: MY SPOTIFY WRAPPED, GOODREADS SUMMARY, OLD NEWS, AND ALSO?I HAVE QUESTIONS.Here we go.Kinda surprised that Genesis was in my top artists yet again. I mean I dig them ('70s and early '80s Genesis, to be clear -- think Abacab era. Any of their post-1987 Michelob beer commercial sounding crap? Never!). I guess I didn't realize how much I listen to them.Love my Top Five

 Election Days of Yore: A Retrospective of the Last 20 YearsPresidential only -- I'm not counting the mid-term elections. 2004 -- This was the year I learned a valuable lesson -- don't listen to the echo chamber. Take any predictions with a grain of salt huge fucking barrel of salt. Huge.I was living in my studio apartment in St. Paul and working at the temple. I was pretty

 Before I begin, lemme try something here:SIMON REID SIMON REID SIMON REIDOkay, now that I have some of the internet's attention....The Simon Reid saga was recently featured in an episode of a TV series called Love Rats, airing on British TV in early 2024. Then last month, a major streaming service picked up the series, exposing the Simon Reid story to a wider audience (I

Women of America? Stop fucking this dipshit. Bagging a Kennedy might look impressive on paper, girls, but let's be real. For every John-John in that family, there are at least a dozen asshats like alleged rapist William Kennedy Smith, Michael Kennedy, who shtupped his teenage babysitter and died skiing into a tree playing football with a water bottle, and now that fuckhead RFK Jr. 

 This is the day the GOP has made,let us REJOICE and be glad!Question: WHERE has Mark Robinson been all my life, and how did I not know about this freak until his posts from Nude Africa (is that not the most hilariously awesome name for a sketchy porn site?) hit the news cycle a few days back?"Please God, let me remember my RedTube password."But wait, there's more! "Mein Kampf is a good

Tsk. And to think, I was once a (casual) fan of Russell Brand.  I'll admit it, I even used to fancy the bloke. I thought he was sexy and funny in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and I found him witty and intelligent in interviews. Then in the late aughts, something dire happened: I saw those uncensored naked photos of him getting arrested in Picadilly Circus. Suffice it to say, my crush
