The Bitty Kitty Brigade is a feline rescue program in Minneapolis, and I’ve worked with them in the past – they had a “donate and name a kitty” fundraiser at one point, so there’s a cat named Beatrice in Minnesota thanks to me. 😀 Anyways … I heard this story about the Bitty Kitty Brigade…

Mel-O-Toons: Cheap cartoons for weekday enjoyment
Follow along with me on this. In my childhood years, there was a simple plan on who would take care of me. During the school year, I would stay with my mother and stepfather in whatever double-deep, double-wide trailer park they were located. And as soon as the school year ended, my Grandma Betty and my great-grandmother…
Read MoreHe entered my room, and I couldn’t move my body.
This happened two weeks ago. And even today, I’m still running it through my mind, trying to figure out what happened. Background. The Town and Village of Green Island suffered a major power outage, which lasted all the way into night time. And rather than stay in my apartment in the dark, I called the Red Roof…
Read MoreIt’s not like Taylor Swift was the first pop culture icon to get involved with a sports figure.
I swear, the MAGA chuds out there are losing their goddamned minds. They’re freaked out because pop singer / actress Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

Last week, I blogged about a 13-year-old kid who became the first person in 34 years to actually defeat the Nintendo Entertainment System’s version of Tetris. They played so long, in fact, that the game couldn’t keep up with them, and the game glitched out. Now that’s a hell of an achievement. And as the story about…
Read MoreThe Harrad Experiment at Wisconsin-La Crosse
The Harrad Experiment was a 1973 motion picture about a fictional college whose curricula espoused free love and partner-swapping. I remember seeing it during HBO’s late-night broadcasts, where you could see all the voyeuristic content right there in the comfort of your own living room. Holy crap, that’s a young Don Johnson in the film. Anyway…
Read MoreLauren Boebert is a Carpetbagger
Every time I think Lauren Boebert’s shelf life has finally dried up, the Colorado Congresswoman continues to fester like a boil. Let me explain. She barely won re-election in 2022 by a margin of less than 600 votes, and her 2022 opponent, Adam Frisch, looks to eclipse her in the 2024 general election. And considering Lauren…
