curmudgeon extraordinaire says fuck off, fascists

  • The Socials

    I deleted my Twitter account in 2022. Alas for what Twitter used to be. But I don’t regret it for a second. But where to find a new home? I made a CounterSocial account, I already had a Mastodon account so I used both of them and it was OK for a while. Then there…

  • Boondoggle

    Unregulated capitalism is a boondoggle where the haves cheat, harm, and kill the rest of us while they poison the environment. I once saw Ross Perot say, with a straight face, that he thought wages should be 10 cents per hour. That freak actually believed that. Eventually, even the haves would be at odds with…

  • Review

    I’m (now hate) watching this British series about a time traveling ballerina. They did not spend any money on writers and less on choreography. In fact, I think they made the stunt dancers watch old episodes of that show about kids at Julliard and told them to dance like that. It’s inane and I can…

  • Facebook is a POS

    Facebook has spent the last 15 years preventing users from connecting with other users or other entities (such as bands and celebrities etc) and now they’re creating fake users (who are NOT identified as fake as far as I can tell) and shoving this slop into the timelines of real users. From all reports, FB…

  • Health is Health

    We have one body and Health Care should cover all of it. People struggling with their mental health deserve care. A developed nation should be providing it as a matter of course. (Looking at you United States because well, there is no Health Care here.)

  • The Problem with Forums

    The problem with groups and communities that serve some topic or subject that include a forum for members is that there is always someone who does not understand when a post should be made to the group and when it needs to privately go to whoever runs the group. Did you try clicking the link…

  • Make it Stop

    Hopefully now that it’s 2025 organizations will stop their onslaught of pleas to donate to them. Theoretically, I am hearing from companies whose missions I support, but I’m getting spammed multiple times per day and it’s too much. One of these companies is emailing me 2-3x A DAY. Fuck off is where I’m at with…

  • 2024

    Today is the last day of 2024, but the real Eve is January 19, 2025. The last day before the shit show begins in earnest. To everyone who decided to sit out the election because of a single issue: Fuck You. My review of 2024 is 0 stars. It had its moments but they were…

  • Sex Scandal?

    Funny how “sex scandal” almost always means “Rape.” Calling rape a sex scandal lets the rapist off the hook and makes it sound like the victim consented or just made a bad decision. It’s not a scandal. It’s a crime and the media needs to report it as such.

  • Blocked

    If you send me an email that has no text to remind me who the f you are, you get blocked. Maybe I did subscribe or for some reason want to hear from you. But who remembers every single vendor or service they’re okay with? I sure don’t. Don’t put your information in images that…
