What do most children do when confronted about lying? Indeed. They lie. I suppose parents who teach those kids not to lie are doing the right thing. But isn't the real reason why the kids lie in the first place the more pertinent issue? Then again, is the real reason anyone lies ever addressed? The … Continue reading If You Can’t Manage It Or Pay For It Then It’s Time To Burn It (As In Down) To Make Sure You Still Win

The Not-So-Great Re-Read Of Someone’s History Re-Told Or How Greed Has Made Your $hitshow
A pseudo-review of this book is here. I recently felt compelled to re-read it. Reason? Something has stuck in my head for the last few years based on something I read about this book a few years back. I can't remember who wrote it--or maybe it was something I even heard someone say--but it went something … Continue reading The Not-So-Great Re-Read Of Someone’s History Re-Told Or How Greed Has Made Your $hitshow
Is A Skewed Mind Any Worse Than The Mindless?
And it was good, your Lord said. Or maybe not, say worst-writer. Or maybe not. It’s also good that the world is looking into who/what the people are that can come up with so much mindlessness--especially when being employed at one of the most prominent employers in the world. I mean, that is the purpose … Continue reading Is A Skewed Mind Any Worse Than The Mindless?
Moment You Know Your Gig Is Up And #ConfessYourUnpopularOpinions
I love it. It's one of those rare moments where there is so much crumbling in the souls of those who thought they $hit roses that I can sit back, for even this brief amount of time, and actually enjoy watching the catastrophic embarrassment of WWE or anything reality-tv. Cause that's what we're/you're in, baby. … Continue reading Moment You Know Your Gig Is Up And #ConfessYourUnpopularOpinions
Corporatism, Mobbing And The Daily Routine Of The Race To The Bottom
Behaviour these days is everything; it is a pillar at the base upon which the global system, in its current iteration, rests and functions. In fact, nothing gets done without behaviourism. If you don't behave then you are an outcast, you are ostracised from the/a system. You may also be accosted or, better yet, mobbed. Whether … Continue reading Corporatism, Mobbing And The Daily Routine Of The Race To The Bottom
What Scares More? Who Or How A $140m Was Won In Court?
https://youtu.be/OMcSdi8JzxY When I was kid there were two things that scared me. One was the return of my father who abandoned me when he realised the petty jubilee of war-winner's bounty in the form of young German girls--while fulfilling his commitment to the US military--and how that wasn't quite what he thought it would be. … Continue reading What Scares More? Who Or How A $140m Was Won In Court?
Naked Barge Drivers And Ford Fiestas On Their Way To Awaiting Suckers The World Over. Or Whoever Else Can Pay.
Almost didn't get this pic, dear worst-reader. Had to struggle to pull my smartphone from my pocket where it always rests albeit connected to my ears by really bad audio-phonic cabling that enables me to listen to podcasts (mostly Anglo news) while walking Beckett the killer pug. Indeed #1. In the nick-of-time, I noticed yet … Continue reading Naked Barge Drivers And Ford Fiestas On Their Way To Awaiting Suckers The World Over. Or Whoever Else Can Pay.
Consume To Survive vs. Amazilla
Update: May the heavens be blessed (if you believe in that sort of thing). To my worst-surprise, my consume-to-survive order that is supposed to help with cleaning my ageing teeth arrived today. Wow. If you can believe the original price posted (Euro299,99) then this was a pretty good deal. Yeah, baby. Haven't been posting much … Continue reading Consume To Survive vs. Amazilla
Glass Cliff, Glass Ceiling Or How Her Corporate Soul Is Made Of As Much Nothingness As His
I’ve always had a problem with motherhood being on a pedestal. Is it because I was hatched? Procreation is more of a disease than something worth a baby shower and the happy wonderland consequence that is the lie of family life. I suppose that could mean I’m only partly misogynistic or just General Schmuck. Anyone … Continue reading Glass Cliff, Glass Ceiling Or How Her Corporate Soul Is Made Of As Much Nothingness As His
Random Moments Of Consumption Galore Or How To Get Your Kicks While On Route To 666
Moments I recall that are all--must be?--part of today's #americant opioid problem galore (see links below). The funny thing about this little list of recollections is that all the parties involved had something to do with Vegas. ...I think. Moment #1 While drinking a beer and waiting for an international flight at PHL a few … Continue reading Random Moments Of Consumption Galore Or How To Get Your Kicks While On Route To 666
It’s A Good Thing I’m Not Draining The Swamp Because I’d Start With Those T-Shirts that Say: FBI – Female Body Investigator
No. Seriously. I bet if you did some kind of whacked-out empirical study--you know the stuff college grads can't do anymore--because if they could they wouldn't have gotten the world into the neo-liberal krapp-shoot it's become--then you would know for sure what purpose a government organisation like the FBI really serves. It's funny too how … Continue reading It’s A Good Thing I’m Not Draining The Swamp Because I’d Start With Those T-Shirts that Say: FBI – Female Body Investigator
Who You Pay When The Customs Agent Comes With Rhino Horn Powder
Having a bad day. This is a NSFW post. No. Seriously, dear worst-reader. Just a few moments ago I almost got into a fist fight with a German customs agent. Ok, well, maybe not a fist fight. So let me set this up. Taking Beckett, the killer pug, for his afternoon waste-my-time walk, we come … Continue reading Who You Pay When The Customs Agent Comes With Rhino Horn Powder
#UnitedAirlines In Your Monopolies @ 30k Feet Below Laughter Of Automaton Galore Bigly Greatness
Hilarryus, dear worst-reader. Seriously. I'm laughing my ass off right now at #United Airlines gettin' in the newz. Of course, it need not be mentioned that more than ten or so years ago, I also got booted from a United flight. The good newz is I didn't actually get booted like this guy did. No. … Continue reading #UnitedAirlines In Your Monopolies @ 30k Feet Below Laughter Of Automaton Galore Bigly Greatness
Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
Fascinating but winded article. I suppose that's why writers for The New Yorker get paid the big bucks. With that in mind, the article linked to below is a doozy. Just when I thought Citizens United had created an ideological political Autobahn to hell paid for by the über-rich that would lead my beloved #ameircant … Continue reading Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart
Obviously it's hard to see. Reason? Sight. It's really that simple. Sight is not the ability to see. But see what, dear worst-writer? Well. Let me tell you, dear worst-reader. While walking Beckett the Killer Pug this afternoon, I came across something that I see all the time. In fact, I see it without sight. … Continue reading Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart
Rich vs Rich
https://youtu.be/C6GyphHLAmc Some say there's a difference between wealthy and rich. It has something to do with how you came to your money. In the end the words don't matter. What does matter, though, is the result of the world's greatest experiment in democracy playing the I can be rich and powerful and all-knowing and the centre … Continue reading Rich vs Rich
The Dips That Make It So, Podcast Hell, The Smell Of Skunk Road Kill
Recently subscribed to recode-decode podcast. Have to admit, of all the podcasts out there, many of which I try regularly in search of things-of-interest, there are only about a dozen or so that I remain subscribed to. Shame, eh. I mean, what a waste of bandwidth. Thousands of podcasts out there and only, maybe, twelve … Continue reading The Dips That Make It So, Podcast Hell, The Smell Of Skunk Road Kill
Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out, Or Pass Me The Popcorn As The Sh*t Show Implodes
Having fun in the game of life yet? No? Gee, why not? Not enough ice-cream? Not enough cheap gas? Not enough free money in the form of credit you'll never pay back? Not enough of someone thinking for you? Not enough of all this too much? Oh well. Moving on. Look what happened today (in … Continue reading Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out, Or Pass Me The Popcorn As The Sh*t Show Implodes
Tommi's News Dump: How To Avoid Reality? Make It Up As You Go Along.
Wanting to avoid the Panama Paper's bullshit ain't gonna be easy. So maybe I should just get it out of my system. First. Who are the players other than the mass of rich greedy people that will come to light from all this? Second. So far we're dealing with a hacker, a lawyer/accounting company in … Continue reading Tommi's News Dump: How To Avoid Reality? Make It Up As You Go Along.
At Odds With Our Government
For posterity's sake below is worst-writer's transcription of Tim Cook's tell-all, ask-all and all-around cute little keynote speech before he starts hocking gadgets to the world and thereby protecting the bottom line, March 2016. I've listened to this speech several times. Each time I listen it gets under my gander more and more. But enough of my … Continue reading At Odds With Our Government
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
Packaging Hell And Out Of Season Berries
Don't worry, dear worst-reader. We all have too much time on our hands--especially during this time of year. The fact that I'm projecting my (too much) time on others in this manner is yet another indication that the transition from industrial age > technical servitude is almost complete. The good thing? It's just a blog. … Continue reading Packaging Hell And Out Of Season Berries
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
Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
It's that time of year again, dear worst-reader. Travel time. Destination: India. Egypt. Ocean City, MD. All before xmas. Which reminds me of that movie Network when the guy says "We're as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore"? Boy was he wrong! No one is mad and everyone is gonna take … Continue reading Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
What Things Are Really About
https://youtu.be/jqKEJTFYgEE?t=1h59m18s Failure. That's what things are really about. Or maybe not. §Gotta throw this out there in the digital ether. Something strange happened the other day. It hit me hard, dear worst-reader. Yeah. Something strange and hard hit me the other day while I was watching TWIT #532. I mean, I listen to podcasts daily. Most … Continue reading What Things Are Really About
