Scouting can be a wonderful experience. You can learn so much as a Scout, to the point where you can use your Scouting years to become an incredible adult. I really wish I had those experiences. I really do. Unfortunately, my experience with Scouting was absolutely poor and unacceptable. And before someone worries that this…

Lauren Boebert’s feckless apology
Last week, Colorado representative and all-around Freedom Caucus troll Lauren Boebert showed her true, disgusting colors, when someone handed her a pin in commemoration of a child who died in the 2022 Robb Elementary School gun slaughter in Uvalde. Boebert took the pin, and dropped it into the nearest trash can she could find –…
Read MoreIs chasing the Empress in my future?
In 2024, CPKC (the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Railroads) will celebrate their merger with a three-nation trip across North America. The trip will involve CPKC’s heritage locomotive 2816, “The Empress.” This is a big deal. Steam locomotives don’t normally cross through the North America like this. They’re most often reserved for tourist…
Read MoreA turkey sandwich for Nicole Bass
Nicole Bass was a professional bodybuilder and part-time professional wrestler. She had an incredibly sculpted body that came from years of dedication and training. Unfortunately, her time in professional wrestling was marred by people accusing her of being a man. The comments were hurtful and repulsive. And this was at a time when pro wrestling…

Read MoreSAG-AFTRA and the WGA have been battling AI for 20 years now.
The other day, a Facebook friend posted a question about whether anybody should really care about the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. I mean, as far as my friend was concerned, it was just millionaires arguing over millions, while our cable bills and streaming services increase their subscription fees. Well, that’s kind of a straw man…
Read MoreFor Lauren Boebert, GOP = Guns Over People
I am truly disgusted by Lauren Boebert, the Colorado representative to Congress. She’s a racist, she’s a bigot, she’s a homophobe, and she’s a gun zealot. And that was totally obvious yesterday. In all the disgusting ways possible. See, yesterday, some people handed Boebert a little cloisonnรฉ pin, with the hopes that Boebert would understand…
Read MoreUncaging Nicolas is the ultimate Nicolas Cage tabletop role playing game!
I’ll admit it. I’m not a table-top roleplaying game expert. I know of Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer and a few other tabletop adventures, and I know that creative individuals can whip up a tabletop game with some simple rules and lots of ingenuity. Enter Jes The Human. Jes has created their own tabletop role…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: An Artisan Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Okay, let’s start with the ingredients. This should be simple. Yesterday, my plan was to purchase all these ingredients at the newly-opened Albany Farmer’s Market. Unfortunately, the “Farmer’s Market” did not contain anything that even remotely looked like a true farmer’s market. There were no booths that sold fresh farm cheese, or freshly baked breads.…
