  • The mind reels at how many properly decent and intelligent people have had their political career stillborn because all these “superior” asshole non-voters never bothered to cast ballots for School Board and City Council on up the electoral ladder.

    But you see… that would require… making an effort. And we can’t have that, now can we? God forbid! That would mean… soiling those pure, innocent, silky-smooth hands with actual democracy homework.

    They’d always much rather sit their lazy, ignorant asses at home, lovingly yet distractedly fondling their purity, then sniffing their fingers.





  • There’s a Monty Python sketch where someone handles a large glass container with a liquid that looked like rosé wine, no context provided.

    Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.

    It truly takes some twisted, fucked-up minds to find obscenity everywhere they look, projecting Satan onto everything around them, carrying Satan piggyback even into neutral zones.

    It’s a movie about physics, with characters like Niels Bohr featured prominently, which just so happened to be made for general audiences and it was a hit, by a director whose other historical film was about Dunkirk.

    Before these movies were made, the subjects were pretty much obscure to the mainstream. Films like these are regarded as risky for large studios, and it’s widely acknowledged that Christopher Nolan is on the very short list of directors with the blessing to do absolutely whatever they want at large studio scale and budget and that is not part of a franchise. And by “very short list” I mean people like Stanley Kubrick.

    The “mainstream” label on Oppenheimer is incidental, after the fact.



  • As a baseball history buff, for a long time my way of “counting sheep” in bed was:
    5 baseball players whose last name begins with the letter “A”,
    then “B”, “C”, etc.

    When after a few nights I worked my way up to “Z”, I started over, but with a twist:
    5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played before 1950.

    Then when I made it to “Z”,
    5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played after 1950.
