…upon a time, when the people of the world became completely distracted doing the most horrible things to one another, they went one step too far and couldn’t save themselves. THE END
To catch my drift, you have to say the word with a complete exhalation of breath and an Oscar-worthy undertone of disgust. While this has been a more-than-hinted-at recurring theme of mine, the thesis-proving news cycle of the past week has been particularly affirming. For instance: The beings who populate…
It’s confusing when a verb gets used like a noun. In its current iteration, even as it is demonized by the Right, it doesn’t really fit as an antonym of asleep, unaware, perhaps, stupid most assuredly. So, I posit, that these morons, running around the Republican lab maze in search…
I kinda thought we went down that road about 160 years ago and it didn’t go so well for anyone, the seceders in particular. Unfortunately, numbskulls like Marjorie Taylor Greene who know nothing of history, humanity, kindness or, most assuredly, the foundational principles and Constitution of the United States of…

This blog is being written by ChatGPT. Not really. I had planned to download the app and ask it to write a short essay on the dangers of AI-generated information but, when I went to the site, I was informed that the platform had reached its limit of users. It…
I have spent countless hours staring into the vastness of space, often totally straight but probably more often in some altered state or other. At one point in my life, I drove from LA to Joshua Tree National Park in the high desert almost every weekend where, lying in total…
It’s become increasingly more difficult to find reliable information. Whomever you choose to trust, in the classroom, in print, on television or via some app or other, that trust has dwindled in its certainty. Perhaps we were simply more gullible, naïve or innocent in the Cronkite era, but then the…
