It's finally over, dear worst-reader? Indeed. Not only have I been paying AWS something like $4 a month for the past year for services I had no idear if or how I was utilising, but I've even gotten rid of all those domains I wasn't using that I bought so many years ago thinking I … Continue reading The End Is Nigh Or Tech World Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Own EVERYTHING

Something Little More Than Site Maintenance Or How AWS Might Be Comparable To GM Of Yore
Freeing myself of the juggernaut of scavenger capitalism that's finally, utterly, taken over tech industry? Indeed. Dear worst-reader. I've been worst-saying it for years. Or at least been worst-saying it since that short stint in the advertisement industry--so many years ago--where I had to explain the #interwebnets to a whole host of numb-nut corporate college … Continue reading Something Little More Than Site Maintenance Or How AWS Might Be Comparable To GM Of Yore

Saddest Sights Of Woful Day
"These were the saddest sights of that woful day; and no man clasped the hands of these two passing figures of the present-past; but, hating, they went to their long home, and, hating, their children’s children live today." -WEB Dubois -Rant on -T
Ward Of A Nation
"Thus did the United States government definitely assume charge of the emancipated Negro as the ward of the nation. It was a tremendous undertaking. Here at a stroke of the pen was erected a government of millions of men,—and not ordinary men either, but black men emasculated by a peculiarly complete system of slavery, centuries … Continue reading Ward Of A Nation
“The Media” Or A Mirror To Hide Behind
Sometimes a podcast can motivate. For example. Last night while listening to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour and the show Google is God, the last few minutes contained an interview with a guy named Michael G. Merhige. He was promoting his new book: Thoughtful Pauses - A Political Philosophy. According to Nader, Merhige is … Continue reading “The Media” Or A Mirror To Hide Behind
Trying The Mirror This Evening But How Many Directions Can One Turn Away Away And Again Away?
Had about enough with #MAGA again again today. That means I spent a few hours reading the newz of my beloved & missed #Americant. I'm not sure if my interest in newz has peaked on account of #Trump or if I'm just having one of those feel-sorry for myself evenings on account I can't find … Continue reading Trying The Mirror This Evening But How Many Directions Can One Turn Away Away And Again Away?
How You Know You’re A Conservative, Especially If You Think You’re Not
There is a reason in my beloved & missed #Americant there are so many shows on brain-dead TV that make fun of conservatives. You know, The Daily Show, Samantha Bee, pretty much everything on Comedy Central and, of course, Stephen Colbert. The most obvious thing to keep in mind, though, is that conservatives, especially … Continue reading How You Know You’re A Conservative, Especially If You Think You’re Not
Blut Und Boden Or If You’re A Good Boy You Can Have All The Pu$$y You Want
Well, dear worst-reader. I got five years. It's been a long time since my expat host country offered me five. For the past ten or twelve years (about half my total stay so far), it's always been a two year visa. "Two years and let's see how things go," some automaton sitting behind an ugly … Continue reading Blut Und Boden Or If You’re A Good Boy You Can Have All The Pu$$y You Want
The Great Reconciliation Undo Or How Bubbha Missed The Blue Dress On His Second Go Round
Disclaimer 1: This post NSFW (for slight reference to certain sex stuff). Disclaimer 2: "Bubbha" is nickname given Bill Clinton. There was a moment while listening to Bill Clinton bat an eye when the interviewer asked (out of the blue) about his grand past where I didn't know whether to LMAO or LOL. But then, … Continue reading The Great Reconciliation Undo Or How Bubbha Missed The Blue Dress On His Second Go Round
Doing What’s Do-Able In Times Of #Trump And Too Much Freedom To Be Stupid
Believing in the power of knowledge has been a worst-mantra of mine for years. That's probably why it's so difficult for me to deal with the anti-intellectualism that has overcome my beloved & missed #Americant. I mean, what else could get a man like #Trump so far in this life? Or do you actually believe … Continue reading Doing What’s Do-Able In Times Of #Trump And Too Much Freedom To Be Stupid
Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
I tried to become a watch-nut once. Not a real watch-nut, mind you. Of course not. A real watch-nut spends lots of money on watches. Heck, I don't even like money. Anywho. A watch-nut knows what a complication is. In fact, that's the only thing that made watches interesting to me. The simpler the complications, … Continue reading Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
Bowing Faithfully To The Makers And Players Of “Just Say No”
I use to think the saddest part about being poor was the food. That must sound strange considering how much of the planet is desperate for food. Yet considering what some of the richest countries collectively ingest, perhaps it's not too far fetched to make a comparison between what we eat and what eats us. … Continue reading Bowing Faithfully To The Makers And Players Of “Just Say No”
The Collusion Illusion Mudpie And Other Ingredients Of The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Cake
Subtitle: Thoughts on recent email exchange with an old friend. I do not think Trump’s collusion with Russia was about his wanting to be president. It was, though, about the next level of dirty-pool conservatives are willing to play and/or tolerate in order to maintain the(ir) greed $hit show. The greed $hit show, by-the-buy, is … Continue reading The Collusion Illusion Mudpie And Other Ingredients Of The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Cake
Mini Clubman Über Fun And Electric Bike Cheat Galore Or How I Learned To Love A Car Hitch
Subtitle: This Is Not A Review Of A 2017 Mini Clubman. Sometimes when I'm riding around on my e-bike I hear these voices. At first I didn't make much of the voices. But then they grew, they increased, and although they never got louder, they became part of life. After having lived among #Eurowastelanders for … Continue reading Mini Clubman Über Fun And Electric Bike Cheat Galore Or How I Learned To Love A Car Hitch
When Your Tickle Goes Bling Bling And Your Ears Say Ahhh
It took me a while. And it also took one of my micro-SD cards along with various installs, network wiring configs, a new fancy case and fun, fun, pure listening/audio fun. But before any of that, first things first. I'm finally NAS ready and my R-PI with Hifiberry Amp2 is the bomb! The initial install … Continue reading When Your Tickle Goes Bling Bling And Your Ears Say Ahhh
Does History Repeat Slowly, Panickly Or Trumply? Predicting Your Great Depression v2.0
What is it that makes #Americant? I mean, what is the thing or things that enable and facilitate the race to the bottom empire that is my beloved and missed United Mistakes? Probably at the top of the list is war mongering. And not just any war mongering. The fact that perpetual war is being … Continue reading Does History Repeat Slowly, Panickly Or Trumply? Predicting Your Great Depression v2.0
The Wrong Of Success In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Because Rest Of World Is Even Stupider
Here's the latest greed-mongering-magazine's list of top corporations in the world ranked by whatever-$$$ (I guess). I came across this list because, as an Apple pseudo-fan-boy, my favourite company-to-hate was recently downgraded. How can that be--especially after I just took advantage of a battery replacement program for my ageing phone that was probably the best … Continue reading The Wrong Of Success In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Because Rest Of World Is Even Stupider
Pseudo-Review: Pennies From Heaven Where Cents Make Great Audio
First. The newest Raspberry Pi was kinda hard to get till I happened across it. I'm worst-guessing this is due to limited supply, heavy demand. Some online shops were taking orders of the Pi but then not indicating delivery dates. Second. I bow humbly to #Hifiberry and their new Amp2 and the fact that I … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: Pennies From Heaven Where Cents Make Great Audio
Pseudo-Review: The Film Collossal Or That Thing In My Substance Abuse That Is Serious Childhood Drama
Warning: spoiler alert! This movie is totally worst-explained. Things I wish I could have written? Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Thornton Wilder's The Ides of March. The movie Collossal. Etc., etc. And by-the-buy, I watched Colossal last night via some stupid streaming service and I was pleasantly surprised. On that note, streaming itself isn't stupid but the … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: The Film Collossal Or That Thing In My Substance Abuse That Is Serious Childhood Drama
Baldies Of The World Unite. Time To Be Proud. Maybe.
Never thought it would come to this, dear worst-reader. But I am indeed über proud to be bald. I mean, come on. Check out these hair-dos of dudes who are... in charge of a world? Ok. Ok. I guess I'm glad that my beloved #Americant is setting something straight that it/we made real cock-eyed in … Continue reading Baldies Of The World Unite. Time To Be Proud. Maybe.
Stuck In The K-Car Platform Of Life, Liberty And The Freedom To Be Stupid
“May all members be mindful that the institutions and structures of our great nation guarantee the opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great success, while others continue to struggle,” he prayed. “May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by … Continue reading Stuck In The K-Car Platform Of Life, Liberty And The Freedom To Be Stupid
Skewed To The Best Of Your Ability
“I think it’s probably more of a privilege. Do you consider food a right? Do you consider clothing a right? Do you consider shelter a right? What we have as rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right to freedom. Past that point, everything else is a limited resource that … Continue reading Skewed To The Best Of Your Ability
1984 Or 2018? Uncreative Theatre-Makers Will Always Be Too Late
Just received an email from an old friend who went to the theatre the other night back home. Specifically, he went to the theatre in Wash DC, my old stomping ground. And what did he see? 1984 as play, eh? Done by a bunch of iPhone totting liberals, I bet. Oh well. Obviously, as worstwriter and … Continue reading 1984 Or 2018?

Sunny Place In Germania, 5KM Long Luxury Beach Front Property, A Deep Diver
The Prora complex is both fascinating and scary. "Kraft durch Freude." Strength through enjoyment? Something like that. This building was first built at the end of the 1930s and when Germany started to lose the war all work was shut down. It was supposed to be play land and funville for up to 20k national … Continue reading Sunny Place In Germania, 5KM Long Luxury Beach Front Property, A Deep Diver
