Subtitle: Juxtaposition of Hope v Change v Consuming v Survive v Gee, I don’t know, …Orwell? You know, recently, before our move to India, I floated the idear that we should probably update our ageing digital devices. My wife’s iPhone 5S was looking pretty beat up and my iPhone 4S was almost a brick due to … Continue reading Everyone's Day In Court Will Never Come

Do Your Job Sounds The Same As Get A Job
https://youtu.be/ePsNcoMNNXc Who knew that rational thought existed in the united mistake's Senate? Why aren't there more Senators like this one? Oh yeah, #americant prefers batsh*t. Now, if only I could get through a #trump2016 speech. Wait. Let me swallow some mustard water first. There. Now I can watch a Trump speech. Rant on. -Tommi
News ECB German Real Estate Bubble
Reason I googled it? Overheard my better-half's morning news show while she was preparing for her day. She props her iPad on a shelf under the mirror in the hotel bathroom. She streams the news from Germany. Even though we've been away from Das Vaterland for just over a week, the saying holds tried & true: you … Continue reading News ECB German Real Estate Bubble
Phallic Symbolism Of Colour Bias And Other Taunts
Moments that tell all? Or points in the time-space continuum that hide from view but are always there? One thing stands out from all the 2016 GOP debates. There is something seriously wrong with the mindset that has produced the current iteration of the republican party in the united mistakes of #americant. Double seriously. I … Continue reading Phallic Symbolism Of Colour Bias And Other Taunts
The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
First. Can The Donald really win a general election? If you think he's worth comparing to whether or not Berry Obama could win when he announced back 2007, think again. There is no comparison. And even if The Donald were to win, would it be so bad? Now don't get me wrong. I don't want … Continue reading The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
This Article Is So Good I'm Willing To Give Up Oreos For Breakfast To Read It Again
Just kidding. I actually got more oreos and made another cup of earl grey to go along with second read of Matt Taibbi's brilliant article. Things in this article that tickled me most: Hunks of recent political history that #americants should know. (But then again, if we knew them we wouldn't be #americant.) Taibbi rips … Continue reading This Article Is So Good I'm Willing To Give Up Oreos For Breakfast To Read It Again
This vs That And Something Above The Snowball(den) Effect
https://youtu.be/SGCSy2Ogoa4 As usual, dear worst-reader, worst-writer is shocked. (But I'm not surprised.) I'm shocked that #americants once again just don't get it. I mean, come on. Do you really believe that Blackberry died such a tragic death because the Canadians are so bad at managing a corporation? Or could the whole demise of Blackberry have something … Continue reading This vs That And Something Above The Snowball(den) Effect
Backdoor To Your Frankenstein
The grand question goes like this, dear worst-reader: who owns you? In the case of the individual and her/his desire to lead a digital life, your owner is your hardware supplier. (Boy did Blackberry screw this up, eh?) But the questions don't stop there. How secure is your digital life? Worried about passwords? Worried about losing … Continue reading Backdoor To Your Frankenstein
The Lie Of Things Flawed
Here's the thing, dear worst-reader. Does Morgan Stanley actually have $3.2 billion to pay a fine? I mean, does it have that much cash? And if it does, would it use that cash for something as silly as paying a fine? Or would it use it to pay an exec another bonus? Which brings me … Continue reading The Lie Of Things Flawed
Contradictions In The Skies Of Greed
Can't believe what I heard this morn while listening to a BBC News podcast. Get this, dear worst-reader. The "news" is promoting the idear that airlines might have to raise ticket fares on account of climate change. Climate change is gonna mean they have to fly longer and burn more fuel to get through the/our dirty atmosphere. I … Continue reading Contradictions In The Skies Of Greed
The Tidyman, Casseroles And Early Dessert
Remember how, if given the choice, children always reach for dessert before dinner? Remember how, when playing in the sandbox, there's always a kid who will destroy your sandcastle just because he can? Remember when you got so made at the government for taking out so many taxes and giving you nothing back for it … Continue reading The Tidyman, Casseroles And Early Dessert
Error 53 Or Area 51? Either Way Want More Want More
Warning: post is NSFW. §After reading article above and a few others on the same subject, I've concluded the following: Dear worst-consumer... you and your journalists don't get it. An iPhone isn't "bricked". Instead, it's controlled. It's owned. It's not yours. I mean, you don't really believe in what is printed on your dollars or your … Continue reading Error 53 Or Area 51? Either Way Want More Want More
Article About The Big Short Is Short
The good thing is, I read the book. The bad thing is, I'm still waiting for someone to address the unspoken reality of where the world is today regarding banking and finance and, of course, the (unending) great recession. The thing that gets me is that every time I read something about The Big Short (movie) … Continue reading Article About The Big Short Is Short
Hammer Sickle Podcast
Listening to comrade Wolff again. Luv this nutty professor. And that says a lot. Of all the teachers I've had in this (my) useless-eater life, few (if any) teachers have left an impression on me. And that's an odd thing to admit if you consider the fact that by the time I was finished with … Continue reading Hammer Sickle Podcast
Maine Subtext Drugs Promiscuity And Nice Shirts
The traffickers—these aren't people who take drugs. These are guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty. These type of guys that come from Connecticut and New York. They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave. Which is … Continue reading Maine Subtext Drugs Promiscuity And Nice Shirts
Boardroom Gender Quotas vs Cologne On New Year's Eve vs The Meaning Of Freiwild
What a grand opportunity Germania has right now. Will it act on this opportunity? Of course not. And why not? Well, the answer is simple. There's no money or taxes to be had in acting on a human failing that, up to now, cannot be made financially exploitable for the centralised state. Misogyny and (mafia) patriarchy are … Continue reading Boardroom Gender Quotas vs Cologne On New Year's Eve vs The Meaning Of Freiwild
Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
Had a brief call with an old girlfriend the other day. Before I could even get around to the "how's the weather" or "how's your love-life" (up there in Berlin) there was something boiling in her voice about who/where/what she is. While she spewed out all her frustrations from being fired from her job because … Continue reading Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
How To Print Your Own Money
When I was a kid I remember being confused about light bulbs. Beyond the fact that few of them would go off in my head, I couldn't wrap that same head around issues of wires, connectors and periphery that made lightbulbs an essential part of every night life. Plus. Why is it that there are … Continue reading How To Print Your Own Money
Repeating History Because You Like How It Tickles
https://youtu.be/1CLhqjOzoyE Time to celebrate. Break out the bubbly, the cheese & crackers, turn on the game, crack open that can of rice beer. And what is it we celebrate? Well. What is about to happen, dear worst-reader, is more than just a new year. To (y)our joy this is a year just like the last and … Continue reading Repeating History Because You Like How It Tickles
Who Has Sold You
Schadenfreude is not my thing. Nor do I wish any one ill-will. Live and let others live better--that's my motto. But there are times, moments, where I giggle and smirk at the goings and cummings of my beloved #americant and of those still trapped in all (her) confused greed-dollar-tendrils. On the other hand, of course, I … Continue reading Who Has Sold You
Lead Sinker Bon-Bon Welfare Queens
The first time I ever heard someone use the term "welfare queens" was when that dirty uncle was visiting for Thanksgiving dinner. You know the conversation that eventually rears its head at a such a family gathering. You not only got your lefts and your rights but you also got your ugly faces and morons--all stuffing … Continue reading Lead Sinker Bon-Bon Welfare Queens
US White Males And A Flat Earth Worth Jumping Off
Got caught in a rut the other night while trying to find my new girlfriend who is named Sleep. A heroic bitch she is and I don't know if my love for her is worth the effort. For as we all know love is an effort. For example, how many kisses have you wasted on … Continue reading US White Males And A Flat Earth Worth Jumping Off
Chancellor Of The Automatons Person Of The Year
Well, there you have it. Finally, after all these years--almost thirty years to be exact--a human female makes the big cover, the big issue. Time magazine has chosen its "person" of the year. Now. During such an occasion other (privileged) humans can see who/what... a human female that runs a really, really, really big corporation actually looks … Continue reading Chancellor Of The Automatons Person Of The Year
Former US Intelligence Chief Has A Funny Nose
Today is a day of oxymorons, dear worst-reader. We have US Intelligence and Too Dumb.
