leet blog

Dayyum! Fuenteovejuna went leet (1337).

It’s my oldest blog. Lot of embarrassing stuff on there.

old-time gospel hour

Years ago, I used to like watching Jerry Falwell preach at Thomas Road Baptist Church when I was in the mood to get revved up and pissed off. It was cathartic to yell my little obscenities at the TV.

snapping sanctions

USA doing something called “snapback” sanctions on Iran. I guess using a cutesy word like “snapback” makes it more tolerable. Maybe we can move on to others, like “snapping turtle sanctions,” “snap at it sanctions,” or “two snaps up sanctions.”

ugly AF

“If you don’t vote like I do, then you are a selfish sociopathic ass…”

said I to another person never ever. It’s ugly AF.

Some of my “friends” on FB are passing that around this morning. I don’t find it to be OK. I’d unfriend them all, but it would curtail my ability to surveil.

t’fuk is this in the mail

All this came in the mail on the same day. Who knows. 🤷

load-o-crap activism

This type of “activism” is such a crock. I don’t care whose team it’s for. I’d never allow my phone to be used in this way. It never creates a good impression.
