The man I was sent to replace was named Charlie. His full name: Christofer Littleton. He was born in Liverpool, England, but hadn't been back there since he was a kid. After his mother abruptly died on his twelfth birthday, his father, who was an engineer for the British army, packed up everything and the … Continue reading Pyongyang’s Train Driver (A Dream)
Yet Another Example Of Fixing Stupid With Stupider
Disclaimer: The pic above is not an ad. Also, I wish no ill-will to the winery. And in all fairness, the wine wasn't all that bad (as I eventually did try it--but never drank a glass of it). But I do wish to be critical--on behalf of all humanity that has not allowed itself to be … Continue reading Yet Another Example Of Fixing Stupid With Stupider
Typing On The New MacBook, The Joy Of Butterfly
I can't feel a thing. Well, actually I feel a small click. Yes. It's a click where there should be movement. And I'm not talking about the trackpad? Yet, so similar are these new input and control gadgets on Apple's new MacBook. Comparatively, there is much more movement of the keys and the trackpad of … Continue reading Typing On The New MacBook, The Joy Of Butterfly

Phishing Email Or #Trump For President? What’s The Difference?
These things usually don't get through to me. But my email app didn't catch this one. Since I was right in the middle of a deadline, I whisked through my emails and, even though I feel pretty safe from this type of krapp, there was a brief second where my mouse flickered over the grey … Continue reading Phishing Email Or #Trump For President? What’s The Difference?
Finding Your Star Chamber Behind The Swine Ear Before The Nail Falls On The Hammer
Worst-thoughts of the day, dear worst-reader. Hope you have your tolerance-hat on for worst-writing galore. With that in mind, good luck. Donald Trump and Alex Jones and a society that can't rise above conspiracy theory, WWE and stupid ugly old white people that belong in the 1950s. No. Seriously. They really do belong in the … Continue reading Finding Your Star Chamber Behind The Swine Ear Before The Nail Falls On The Hammer
Things Are Moving Along Just Fine In The Land Of The Docile Free To Be Stupid
Something to ease the minds of the dumb-downed as another useless evening presents itself in the wake of my beloved and missed #americant dealing with a grand new-fangled tax scam from president smart for the rich and stupid for the rest of you suckers. Also wondering who the college grads are that set up all … Continue reading Things Are Moving Along Just Fine In The Land Of The Docile Free To Be Stupid
Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook
The first pseudo-review is here. A third is here. How did I get here, dear worst-reader? How did I get to be the confiscating husband I've become? And how did I get to this place I'm at where being overwhelmed w/ tech gadgets could be so frustrating? You know, dear worst-reader, as a useless-eater, as … Continue reading Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook
Roadkill And Other Forms Of Scaring Ausländer Out Of Germania
The horse in the pic above literally asked me, albeit in German, to leave his country. The fish in the moat around some #eurowasteland baroque castle said nothing. The flying rat reminded me of the story I'm about to tell. And the headless mouse reminded me of all those in my beloved #americant that got … Continue reading Roadkill And Other Forms Of Scaring Ausländer Out Of Germania
Men With Combs Not Comb-Overs
Even when I had hair I never used a comb. For me it was a brush all the way. Is that why I'm baldy now? Nomatter. Let's worst-discourse about #emails once again, shall we. It was not long ago when emails were the thang. Or have you forgotten about Hillary's emails already? So much time, … Continue reading Men With Combs Not Comb-Overs
How To Fix Something That Has To Be Broken? #Gerrymandering #NetNeutrality
As a non-chess player, I'm thinking of moves in the future. What moves, you ask, dear worst-reader? Well, I'm thinking of how that $hitkicker politician in Alabama lost his bid to wear a (his) stupid hat in the United Mistakes Senate. You know, dear worst-reader, he wasn't supposed to lose. And the reason he wasn't … Continue reading How To Fix Something That Has To Be Broken? #Gerrymandering #NetNeutrality
Adjusted For Inflation, We’re Back To Feudal Days Galore. Congratulate Yourself.
What's missing from this post, and from the pic above, is what it's being compared to. Indeed. According the article where I stole the pic above, there was once a single company (adjusted for inflation) that was as big as all of these companies put together. That company? The Dutch East India Company. Since that … Continue reading Adjusted For Inflation, We’re Back To Feudal Days Galore. Congratulate Yourself.
Summary Of What Is Wrong With (Your) Everything. Hint: #ConsumeToSurvive
From a book I'll be pseudo-reviewing soon enough. And too think I'm actually a capitalist... Well, maybe not. No. Wait. I am. Rant on. -T
Twenty Four Hours A Difference Make
Actually, dear worst-reader, it's not quite 24 hours. The snow-pic I took yesterday afternoon. The rain pic I took before noon today. Yesterday's snow storm was a sight to see--if you live in this region of wet-weather-torn Germania. It will snow every once-a-once here and the snow will be gone by the next day, but … Continue reading Twenty Four Hours A Difference Make
Interwebnet Uglies & Co.
Ok. Maybe I'm over doing it. It's just that, I really thought, for years and years, that The Ineterwebnets was something beautiful. The reality is, it's something ugly. Very ugly. Of course, it's not ugly because it reveals the worst of humanity. No. It's ugly because the cult of the entrepreneur (#americant) have found so many … Continue reading Interwebnet Uglies & Co.
How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks
Who loves being forced to buy new technology? I mean, that's really what's happening these days, or? If hardware manufactures somehow acted responsibly, there would then be no reason that the investment consume-to-survivors make couldn't last longer. Or are the engineers that make everything smaller and thinner really not that good after-all? Oh wait. We're … Continue reading How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks
Not A Worst #Brunch
Good food, good conversation and worst-writer? Good idear or bad idear? I guess that's what it's all about in these worst-times, or, dear worst-reader? Indeed. Good food! Of course, we can't let such an opportunity pass without a bit of ranting. Attendees of this Bruch: A Russian, a Serb, an American and a German. And … Continue reading Not A Worst #Brunch
Muse: When Just Knowing She’s There Is Enough

Worst Tweet # 4 Thousand So-n-So
Since the 80s #americant has been living off of consume-to-survive nothingness, meritlessness and the rule of mindless, college grad corporate #Automatons run amok. Understanding how the old economy so easily defeated the new economy in the 90s is also something worth considering. Then there're the #warmongering #WarsofChoice of this new millennium. And now you're worried … Continue reading Worst Tweet # 4 Thousand So-n-So
Europe: The Ones Who Do Wrong Are Always Stronger Than The Ones Who Do Right. More Poison Please.
How easy is it, dear wort-reader, to go through life doing the easy wrong and thereby avoiding the difficult right? Well, according to #eurowasteland (Europe), it's even easier. In fact, my beloved #americant isn't much different. Indeed, these brothers and sisters, these kissing cousins, these inbred westerners--split by an ocean--of nevermore... rule the world with … Continue reading Europe: The Ones Who Do Wrong Are Always Stronger Than The Ones Who Do Right.

How To Hug Your Abuser, Face Your Poison
What's the one thing that connects all of the recent sex abuse bullshit, dear worst-reader? Ok. Yea. It might be something about stupid white men. (But then there's the few and far between non-white men that seem to do the same thing.) Then there's the issue of power. Yea. That's the ticket, ain't it? Or … Continue reading How To Hug Your Abuser, Face Your Poison

The Confusion Of Roadkill, Mighty Mouse And Who Is In My Dungeon Or Who Will Survive My Neighbor’s Dog’s (W)Rath?
In my previous post, I wanted to put up these pics. But then I started typing and, well, you know how that batshit show ends up. Still. Here is potentially the post I would have uploaded regarding roadkill, my youthful confusion between Mighty Mouse and Mickey Mouse and a dead rabbit that was obviously … Continue reading The Confusion Of Roadkill, Mighty Mouse And Who Is In My Dungeon Or Who Will Survive My Neighbor’s Dog’s (W)Rath?
The Harvey Weinstein Apology
Subtitle: Or All Men Are Rapists And If So... Sorry About That. Disclaimer 1: this post is NSFW; it contains material of a sexual nature; some of it is also what I like to call pseudo-fiction. (Good luck with that.) Disclaimer 2: for those who can remember but don't want to be reminded, this text … Continue reading The Harvey Weinstein Apology
Only In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Can You Get Fired For Being Smart
Only in the land of free-to-be-stupid where 1st and 2nd amendments lay waste to, well, the ultimate stupidity, can you get fired for a deserved traffic gesture. On the other hand, some nutcase can beat his wife, get a military discharge that is not dishonourable, and then go about his bidness of being fcuking stupid, … Continue reading Only In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Can You Get Fired For Being Smart
