So. Like. About a year ago I was out and about on my beloved E-Bike and, as usual (at my age), I had to take a piss. Usually I find a secluded place among the urban trees but for reasons owned by men of my age bracket... when you gotta go you gotta fcuking go! … Continue reading And Now: #Eurowasteland At Its Finest Or How I Learned To Aim It Right
New Pug Breed? Tiger Lion Killer Pug.
As a pure black pug owner, seeing this guy really caught my eye the other day. According to his owner, he's only three years old so the white/grey is very odd. He's almost twice the size of my Pug--and mine is no Pug slouch. Although his facial features were almost perfect (for my standards), his … Continue reading New Pug Breed? Tiger Lion Killer Pug.
A Told, Untold And Retold Story Or Why I’m Obsessed With Calling Out Those Who Gave US President PeePeeHair
It's hard being an expat. It's even harder being an expat stuck in a golden cage. Indeed, dear worst-reader. That's what I call my not-so-loved Germania where I've been living and mentally struggling for the better part of twenty-plus years. When people ask me, though, why Germany, I usually avoid the obviousness of my birth. … Continue reading A Told, Untold And Retold Story Or Why I’m Obsessed With Calling Out Those Who Gave US President PeePeeHair

The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other
No. Seriously. It was the re-election of Dubya Dip$hit Bush back in '04 that probably sealed the deal that I would never repatriate to my beloved & missed #Americant. I really didn't think things could get any worst, though, after Dip$hit Dubya. And so. Dear worst-reader. Welcome to my... getting worst-world galore. I can't forget … Continue reading The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other

How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
First and foremost, get rid of the elite. Not unlike that which lead to the French Revolution--there should be heads rolling through mishandled municipal gutters about now. In fact, there should be something like a pile of heads museum somewhere from the past thirty or so years. But I guess that's wishful thinking considering the … Continue reading How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
Pseudo-Review #6: R&M Charger GX At 5000km And Humming Brakes From Hell
Surpassed 5000km the other day on my beloved e-bike. As of May this year, it's also just over a year old. Although I've met some who ride their bikes a lot more than worst-moi, I'm kinda tickled that I've been able to ride all these kilometres. With that in mind, perhaps it's time to complain … Continue reading Pseudo-Review #6: R&M Charger GX At 5000km And Humming Brakes From Hell
May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Email from an old friend: Hi Tom, Search: "SCREEN-AGERS Today’s Adolescent: Why Kindness is Missing" on ... and watch the 1 hour 40 min video. Its a good summary that explains much of what is going on now in many aspects of US culture (and I emphasize US cause it's the outlier nation in almost every … Continue reading May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
The thing to keep in mind, dear worst-reader, if you are at all confused about the whole #Trump colluding with Russia thing, is this: nomatter what happened during the campaign and nomatter what the Russians did, the #Americant people, in collusion with a manipulated Constitution and its Electoral College, were the only ones who voted … Continue reading Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
The End Is Nigh Or Tech World Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Own EVERYTHING
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.

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.
