Riding or being ridden around the island of Rügen, Germany. Other than battling some horrendous winds (thank the Gods I'm on an e-bike), this is a great place to ride a bike, check out scenery, take a boat tour and study German. OYG. Rant on. -T

Julius Caesar Killed With (Bad) Ideas Not Daggers–Just Like My Beloved #Americant
Coincidence? I finally (it's been on my to-do list for a while) started re-reading Thornton Wilder's Ides of March... in March? Actually I started re-reading it the last few days of March and casually finished it at the end of April. Reason? I had put it off long enough--and it was time. For I knew, … Continue reading Julius Caesar Killed With (Bad) Ideas Not Daggers–Just Like My Beloved #Americant
Giving Marx A Try Or How I Found Solace In Failing Upwards And Enjoying Pseudo-Communist Poetry
Subtitle: The Body Of An Email Never Sent? Exchanges with an old friend about the system we all must live in is getting brighter and brighter, dear worst-reader. Or maybe not.

Life Of Nothingness Trumps Your #Trump Unless, Of Course, You’re A Step Atop Caesar’s Goo Salad Dressing
"It is a recurrent joke among writers of farces that wives rejoice in being beaten by their husbands. It reflects, however, an eternal truth--that there is a great comfort in knowing that those who love you love you enough to take the responsibility for marking out the permissible. Husbands often er--but in both directions. Caesar … Continue reading Life Of Nothingness Trumps Your #Trump Unless, Of Course, You’re A Step Atop Caesar’s Goo Salad Dressing
For Believers And Conventionalists: May Capitalist Ideology Choke Grandmas, Puppies And Butter Your Nuts
The will to survive driven by convention. The lack of intellect culled by fear. The rearing of nation states reached its nadir. Welcome to your Dollar Dictatorship. Ok. I've been having some correspondence problems of late. A dear old friend of mine--who is an advocate of the lie that is capitalism--and I have a general … Continue reading For Believers And Conventionalists: May Capitalist Ideology Choke Grandmas, Puppies And Butter Your Nuts
Pseudo-Review #5: R&M Charger GX 4000km
Pseudo-Reviews begin here. It's been a long cold wet winter, dear worst-rider. No. Seriously. The weather has been so dismal the past few months here in the Germania tribe of #eurowasteland that I've barely ridden the R&M. Although I've been living in the old country for well over twenty-five years now, this past winter season has … Continue reading Pseudo-Review #5: R&M Charger GX 4000km
To The Right Of The Noodles The Cute Left Rear Door Of The Mini (And That’s What She Said)
It's been another busy worst-day, dear worst-reader. It started with early day chores having something to do with goodies for evening grub consumption. The joke is always on me, though. Reason? I'm the one that has to prepare the evening grub. And I'm no good at getting the grub. But at least I can cook … Continue reading To The Right Of The Noodles The Cute Left Rear Door Of The Mini (And That’s What She Said)
The Caesar Equation?
Let us at least say of religion that it means that every part of the body is infused with mind, not that the mind is overwhelmed and drowned in body. For the principal attribute of the Gods, without or within us, is mind. -Caeser's Journal XLII-B, aka Thornton Wilder, The Ides of March Rant on. … Continue reading The Caesar Equation?

Shade And Tree Innards At Top Of Stair For The Glory Of Everyone’s DDR
The car, I'm guessing, is the remains of a Trabant. Anyone remember the Trabant? Oh I remember them well. In fact, sexual relations in one was as good as when I did it for the third time in a 1972 Beetle--and it was 1980. My stepfather was furious the next day as he drove that … Continue reading Shade And Tree Innards At Top Of Stair For The Glory Of Everyone’s DDR
The True Face Of Greed Will Joyously Burn The Whole Thing Down Then Party Hearty
What can one say about the ugliness and the hate and the true-face of today's new & improved pseudo-bourgeoisie of #Americant? On that note, let's get it on about guns. Keep in mind, dear worst-reader, there is one thing that the shooters of Columbine, Sandy Hook, Charleston Church and Parkland have in common--other than their … Continue reading The True Face Of Greed Will Joyously Burn The Whole Thing Down Then Party Hearty
Finding Blue
The pic I want to comment on is the one with Yogi Bear. I was pumping gas into my rental car a few weeks back and what I thought was a dead screen suddenly came alive and Yogi wanted to sell me something and I thought: the scavenging scrapers of the rotten innards of the … Continue reading Finding Blue
Kudos To The Best Of The Worst
One of the world's most greedy corporate CEOs (I mean, come on worst-reader, it is all about greed and not achievement or merit or the like, right?) has found a moment to put a few degrees between what he represents (über-greed) and what the worst of the worst represents (stupid-greed). Pretty much from day one … Continue reading Kudos To The Best Of The Worst
Pseudo-Review: The Shape Of Water Not Unlike My Desire Of The Her Of All Fish
Returned from The Homeland last Monday. It was a horrible trip. It was horrible because, of the two weeks I was there, after doing some yard work for my Mom, I contracted a pretty bad skin ailment from poison ivy. In fact, as I worst-write this, two weeks after returning, I'm still itching. (But it … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: The Shape Of Water Not Unlike My Desire Of The Her Of All Fish

Pseudo Review: Audio On The Cheap, Refurbised Used Speakers, Raspberry Pi HifiBerry Galore And Happy As A Pig In…
First pseudo-review of this sort of stuff here. Been fiddling around with audio for a few years now. About a decade ago, well into my forties, I made the mistake of purchasing a surround sound system. It was some ginormous thirty-pound, seven channel, only God knows how to setup system and after a few years … Continue reading Pseudo Review: Audio On The Cheap, Refurbised Used Speakers, Raspberry Pi HifiBerry Galore And Happy As A Pig In…
As The God’s Of Your Mind Play Fiddle Diddle Widdle
Even if we assume the existence of a God who, as Homer says, pours out from his urns his good and evil gifts, I am amazed at the pious who insult their God by failing to see that as this world is run there is a field of circumstance that is not commensurate with God's … Continue reading As The God’s Of Your Mind Play Fiddle Diddle Widdle
How I Subverted The Sedition Act (Of 1918) Or Re-Read Chris Hedges’ “American Fascists”
Thoughts after first read of this book here. Obviously I've subverted nothing. I mean, come on. How can worst-writer, leader of the uselesseater union of the world and advocate for forced early retirement (as long as the women-folk and their feminism pay for it), subvert anything? Unless, of course, subversion is defined by how one … Continue reading How I Subverted The Sedition Act (Of 1918) Or Re-Read Chris Hedges’ “American Fascists”
What Happens When You Cross Dorian Gray With The Devil Wears Prada? Worst-Writer’s Thoughts On Emma Tennant’s Faustine.
The only problem worst-writer has with this wonderfully imaginative novel about The Feminine is how, if it were a quilt, it would be sewn together with a single thread. That thread, unfortunately, is the opposite of The Feminine. I suppose, if pushed to answer what that opposite (thread) is, I'd have to say this book … Continue reading What Happens When You Cross Dorian Gray With The Devil Wears Prada? Worst-Writer’s Thoughts On Emma Tennant’s Faustine.
Is You Afeared Yet?
Was up around 3am and walking around my little apartment angry and spiteful at the snow that had fallen during the night. This has been a hell winter, dear worst-reader. And speakng of hell. As indicated in the pic above, there is a certain irony to living in hell. Especially when that hell stems from … Continue reading Is You Afeared Yet?
Another Night Of Not Finding You-Know-Who Or How I Beat It Before Turning Sixty One Last Time
Ok. Obviously there are better things to be done on a Friday night before flying to my beloved homeland Sunday morning. The only question that remains is: what the hell to do Saturday night? In the mean time, here another fabulous quote as I re-read a book. "When individuals are finally emasculated and alone, bereft … Continue reading Another Night Of Not Finding You-Know-Who Or How I Beat It Before Turning Sixty One Last Time
Things You Hope Are True–Especially When It’s About How To Shower Goldenly With A #Sexexpert
Or should it be "sexpert"? Yea. Sex-expert has too many syllables. More on golden showers here. Glanced across a headline yesterday about a person stuck in Thai jail saying she can spill the beans about #Trump's pee tape. Or something like that. Actually, dear worst-reader, I've been trying to forget about President Stupid and his … Continue reading Things You Hope Are True–Especially When It’s About How To Shower Goldenly With A #Sexexpert
Lightening Bold Error And Everything Not Fine. #Uselesseater Happenings In #Eurowasteland Galore. Proper powering An RPI.
Been fiddling with a Raspberry Pi 2 for a while now to get the best sound possible to a save-some-money audio system. Even though these little, credit card sized mini-computers are über rocking cool, the only thing I can figure them for is as clients for servers. I currently have two running. RPI 3 is … Continue reading Lightening Bold Error And Everything Not Fine. #Uselesseater Happenings In #Eurowasteland Galore. Proper powering An RPI.
Pseudo Book Review Of “Fire And Fury” Or If Only There Was More Space Between The Lines
Books with scary pictures of authors on inner or back covers should be avoided at all costs. I suppose that goes for worst-writers, too. At least that's what I used to tell myself--about real writers that actually get paid to write stuff. With that in mind, hats off to you Mr. Wolff. Which brings me … Continue reading Pseudo Book Review Of “Fire And Fury” Or If Only There Was More Space Between The Lines
