Speech is free. But so are the consequences of that speech.

I’ve spent time answering questions on Quora, but felt that many of them deserved longer answers than I could provide there. So I’m going to start turning those longer answers into posts here. Quora is a fascinating platform that offers a glimpse into diverse perspectives and lifestyles. However, it can also be a breeding ground for partisan biases, trolling, and disguised personal attacks. Recently, a question caught my attention on…

Critical Race Theory: Y’all don’t even know WTF you’re mad at

Critical Race Theory: Y'all don't even know what the fuck you're mad at
November 4, 2021

This pandemic has kept me within 10 miles of my house for the past year and a half. Not by choice…it’s just that my whole company has been remote since March 2020, and other than special occasions and holidays, I’ve really only gone to local stores and back home. One good thing that has come of this, is that I have gotten to know more of my neighbors than ever…

Where I’ve been and why I’m back

Where I've Been and Why I'm Back
October 1, 2021

I’ve said a thousand times I would come back here and relaunch this blog. And not done so. This blog started as something funny….someplace to take the piss. It was in reaction to a society that was being influenced by reality TV and consumerist culture, a world that instead of choosing style over substance, which is bad enough, chose flashes of nothingness over style. But, the past few years have…

As a white person, how can YOU help?

Black Lives Matter
June 6, 2020

  A few nights ago, I got a DM from a friend asking what she can do to help in the current climate. Now, this isn’t new…I’ve been both heartened and heartbroken by the white friends in my life who have reached out in this way. Heartened, because, it seems like we, as black people, are finally being seen. Heartbroken, because, I’ve lost a lot of friends over this. Some…

Lester: bless your little inbred heart

Fuck you
June 22, 2018

  I held off really diving back into this blogging thing. I knew it would eat up time, probably cause me to spew more than a little anger, and lead to idiots arguing with me who hadn’t taken the time to actually research the facts. Instead, they would simply parrot whatever Faux News or Orangina 45 said most recently. Then “Lester” came along, bless his racist little heart, and gave…

Scottie Nell Hughes is either lying or thinks we are stupid

Scottie Nell Hughes
February 15, 2018

Former occasional Faux News talking head and former CNN political commentator Scottie Nell Hughes was on NPR’s “Morning Edition” today, and in her interview she voiced her concerns about the Trump Administration’s handling of the Rob Porter Scandal, and specifically Drumpf’s dropping of the ball on speaking out against abuse. What boggles the mind is that this is the same woman who steadfastly defended the Pussy Grabber In Chief when…

2018. A new year. A new me?

January 25, 2018

2018. Its here. And I havent written anything on this blog in months. There are many reasons for this…many of them center around the current state of affairs in this country. Frankly, being brown in the United States is fucking tiring at the moment. Darth Cheeton has been POTUS for a year now, and between hearing and seeing that blithering idiot spout racist crap left and right with his 4th…

Mitch Albom singlehandedly gave a class in privilege

September 16, 2016

I like Mitch Albom, I really do. I enjoy his writing, and I love to hear his commentary on ESPN when he is a guest. Granted, we may not always agree, but, in the end, I can at least see where he’s coming from…and also why he might feel his opinion is right. I have never listened to an opinion of his and thought he was dead wrong. And then…

WTF of The Week: Philly cop admires Nazi’s and Philly FOP Prez admires him

September 2, 2016

This photo alleges to show Philadelphia police Officer Ian Hans Lichterman, left, posing with fellow Nazi reenactors. Source: Philly Voice The level that police will go to defend their own is astounding. Now…before you go calling me a “cop-hater”, lets get a few things straight. I admire and respect the police. My next door neighbor is a cop. Guy across the street? Cop. Guy four doors down? Cop. My friends…

Celebrate your Freedom with a read

July 3, 2016

Tomorrow, we, here in the US will celebrate our nationally recognized Independence Day. Amid the cookouts, fireworks, basking in the sun and laughing with friends and relatives, be sure to take a few moments and think about how GOOD you have it. Seriously. With all the recent strife here, the arguments about race and flags and who should be allowed to marry who and who should be allowed to have…
