Elon is known to disparage pronouns (and I responded to his tweets with bad poetry), It seems that there is now further evidence that he does not have a good grasp of the English language, and has no idea what “neutral” might mean.

In the spirit of mild annoyance, I gave my Twitter account a “self-verification” blue…

I will not shed a teensy tear
should Sam Alito die of fear.
In Hell his soul will surely sear
and while his ruling was sincere
‘twas evil, wrong, and oh, so clear
his hate for justice makes him dear
to nuts and kooks who hate things queer.

I raise a toast to rouse a cheer
to rise up through the atmosphere
from those who wish…

No fair well, at least for me. In the mid 1980's I was managing that 16-20 mph on relatively flat rides (except when i would join up with the “Tour de Gimbels” group ride going up Central Avenue in Yonkers, and at least before the hills heading up Route 22, I’d be able to ride with the group at about 25 mph (and yes,…

Drat, with the news of Ford dropping the Transit Connect, I knew there was at least a near-equivalent in the RAM Pro Master, though that didn’t have the options I needed for versatility - ranging from transporting a group of people to Albany to lobby the legislature, to loading two recumbent trikes to travel to the…

While it is not relevant in today’s environment, what with GPS navigation systems in the dash and on the phone, when I was commuting to law school from Staten Island to Queens in the mid-1970's, my quality of life was vastly improved when I got and installed a CB radio.

Just being able to get information about traffic…

Back in 2015, I bought a 2015 Transit Connect - it was exactly what I needed to transport a couple of recumbent trikes to bike trails, and still fit in my apartment building’s garage space (its “footprint” was almost exactly the same as the 2013 Altima it replaced - an ICE car that got better gas mileage (42 mpg highwa…

GoT itself (books and original series) are loosely based on British history - the Wars of the Roses.

The current prequel series goes back to earlier events in the same British Isles history, to bring us what looks to shape up as Queen Maude/Empress Matilda (Rhaenyra) up against King Stephen of Blois (Daemon) - the…

Texas and Florida are already at stage 8 of the 10 stages of genocide. This has gone far beyond merely giving pandering lip service to the cis-het troglodytes of the evangelical Christian Dominionist wing of the GQP.  This is the “first they came for the trans folks” that will go into a future rewrite of the Pastor…

Many people don’t get the nuance. The constitutionally guaranteed “freedom of speech” is a guarantee that as long as an individual does not cross into the area of unprotected speech, they are protected from government (the standards have varied over time, but one person who has explored the limits in the courts is…

Having both a Nespresso machine (the metal pods of which *are* recyclable) and a Keurig, I am familiar with both of these kinds of pods. Sadly, whoever put the video together seems to have thrown in a lot of clips of Nespresso pods, though the wedding wreath does seem to be made of K-Cup pods. The end result is rather…

There are four lights.

Who needs an entire train? The idea of private railcars was once more popular among the wealthy - and Amtrak still has ways to use them - see:

As long as we’re dealing with private ownership of land, and the “Sovereign Citizen” owns, say, an entire 6-mile square township in the middle of Kansas, as long as he stays within his boundaries and is not traversing any public road, he can take his “conveyance” anywhere he wants on his own land, without the benefit…

I replaced my dying 5-year-old LG V20 (the last flagship with a removable battery - (sigh!) with a Galaxy A52 5G, and it only took me about a week to become accustomed to the UI differences (like getting blinded by the fingerprint sensor, unlike the one on the back of the LG phone). I also learned to make that little…

Not to mention the “money laundering” opportunities that make cash businesses like operating vending machines so popular with organized crime - if you might be thinking about a vending machine business after reading this article, don’t be surprised if you are not, um, approached, about this, and don’t be surprised if…

Maybe they had this guy in mind?

Amy Cooper, today, seems to be reconstructing her memory to justify herself.  This may be a subconscious process, but with the feedback she is getting, perhaps she really ought to do her best to fall off the radar and stop making a spectacle of herself, as she lacks credibility, except perhaps with the most credulous.

If I was the one doing the choosing from the group, I’d go with that big Lincoln convertible with the suicide doors.  I even hopped over to the link and did some salivating.
