curmudgeon extraordinaire says fuck off, fascists

  • Imagination vs. Reality

    Imagination Various scenes of Super Heros lounging around in their disparate homes. Goofing off really. Some housework, some gardening, walking the dog, reading a book even. Having a beer and watching the game. Just a normal day. In one of the homes, a phone rings. SUPER HERO 1 Disaster is threatening our very existence? Wow.…

  • A Regime of Hate

    The White House just issued an Executive Order that will lead to a ban against Trans people from service in the military and it does so by labeling them as deceptive and dishonorable, among many other slurs and untruths. This is exactly how Hitler started out. No coincidence, this is another step toward the GOP’s…

  • The Line

    The US President just floated a plan for Gaza that is a crime against humanity. Nothing in recent history suggests that, should this idea come to fruition, Palestinians will ever return to move into this new housing. This “plan” was made public during the observation of the the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Is…

  • Swasticar

    This is the PERFECT name for the Tesla. Kudos to the wordsmith who tossed this into the socials. Someone needs to make a “Bought before We Knew” bumpersticker for all the Tesla owners who bought their cars before the owner of the company threw Nazi salutes to the entire fucking world.

  • I Read A Book

    There’s this book, a Romantasy (Romance + Fantasy) that is a huge seller and caught the attention of book banners who don’t want anyone to read a book they don’t like where “don’t like” means anything about experience as brown or LGBTQ+ because we must protect their white kids from developing empathy. Heaven forfend, what…

  • It’s a Cold Tuesday

    Yeah that car guy thew a Nazi salute at a presidential inauguration. There are literal Nazis in the White House. So, are you Vichy or are you the Resistance?

  • It’s a Dark Monday

    On the off chance that anyone besides me is reading these posts, this is a dark day that will follow into four years of destruction. My only hope is that because most of the people taking power in the US today are incompetent, in over their heads, and driven by greed divorced from truth and…

  • I Already Turned that Off

    Apple has this Enhanced Visial Search “Feature” in the photos app that sounds like it will do faster, better job at finding a specific photo from among the photos on your device. But when you read the “about” it says: “Allow this device to privately match places in your photos with a global index maintained…
