RIP #RBG. So. Like. What's the difference between being blind and being blindfolded? One means you can't see and the other means you don't want to see, or someone else doesn't want you to see. With that in worst-mind, I've never been a fan of Lady Justice. Don't get me wrong. She's a gotta body … Continue reading Blind Or Blindfolded
Berry Hifi Galore
This (worst)post was updated Sept 16, 2020. Title 2: No such thing as Hifiberry overkill. Or? Gotta say a few worst-words about my Hifiberry collection, dear worst-reader. Not sure if you can tell, but I'm a Raspberry Pi fan. I love these these little SBCs (single board computers) and when combined with DACs, IMHO, there's … Continue reading Berry Hifi Galore
Creativity vs Ownership
https://youtu.be/euiSHuaw6Q4 Who owns you, baby? And once you finally answer that question, whether you're a #MAGA moron or a tree-hugger genius, the future might just open up to you instead of being dark and dreary like the transplanted roots of #Trump's pee-pee-hair. Or maybe not. So here's the thing, dear worst-reader. Have you seen the … Continue reading Creativity vs Ownership
Ambitious Sarcasm
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones;So let it be with Caesar. The noble BrutusHath told you Caesar was ambitious:If it were so, it was a grievous fault,And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.Here, … Continue reading Ambitious Sarcasm
Fake It Till You Make It
Screenshot of a doctored pic from a #Trump boat rally. The almost, worst-writer, true story of #Americant, the greatest land of FREE-TO-BE-STUPID the universe has ever received and for proof of the proof all one has to do is get a load of #OKBoomer, the generation that failed to grow up. The generation stuck in … Continue reading Fake It Till You Make It
The Edumacated
This is a screenshot of a headline. In the game musical chairs players prance around chairs while music is playing. When the music stops prancers have to sit. The prancers who have not found a chair to sit in are removed from the game along with one chair. I suppose, in that vein, the game … Continue reading The Edumacated
Reminders: Expat From Where
Originally from Maryland, dear worst-reader. But don't fault me for that. Don't fault me on account, don't you know, Maryland has given the world Kavanaugh. But I die-gress. After living in the golden cage of Germania for all these years, sometimes I need reminding of where I'm from. With a little help from my better-half, … Continue reading Reminders: Expat From Where
Robot Vacuum Worst-Best Sucking Things Up
To avoid all my worst-writing and get straight to the pseudo-review, just scroll down a bit. Otherwise, good luck. This consume-to-survive world/life is gettin' to me, covid n'all. You too, dear worst-reader? I mean. Just the other day, after purchasing another one of them fancy-pants robot vacuum cleaners, after my previous über-expensive robot vacuum cleaner … Continue reading Robot Vacuum Worst-Best Sucking Things Up
Oh Well vs Orwell
Source: screenshot from the interwebnets And let's never forget, dear worst-reader. It can happen here. Or. Put another worst-way: Oh well. You fcuked. I mean. You had a chance. As in. In the last forty years, you didn't really have to move the country so far to the right (of politics). Then again, as far … Continue reading Oh Well vs Orwell
Spiral Of Worst
https://youtu.be/WG9s9-_C6K4 Let's give it another go, shall we, dear worst-reader? As many of you may or may not know, my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant is stuck in a self perpetuating state of über-disarray. Add to that a culture of reality-tv driven STUPID few nation-states of the so-called first-world have ever experienced, it's … Continue reading Spiral Of Worst
Putting Sugar Or Butter On It
Pseudo review of Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches by S.C. Gwynne What to do as an eternal skeptic and an unwilling expat, dear worst-reader? Shutting down, as in, tuning out, might be an alternative. Yet, my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant is most … Continue reading Putting Sugar Or Butter On It
Hiatus
Indeed, dear worst-reader. The hiatus began sometime ago. And so. Stay safe. Mask up. Avoid humanity and its inherent stupidity. Send good thoughts to my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant and its lust for anti-science, religiosity, and it fighting for the freedom to be stupid. Worst-writer bids you adieu. -T
Re-Read Galore: Slaughter House 5
America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain't no disgrace to be poor, but might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America … Continue reading Re-Read Galore: Slaughter House 5
Better Truth: Half US Unemployed
Having given up on being employed as far back as 2001 gives worst-writer a different perspective on unemployment stats-- from 2020 (or so). Indeed, dear worst-reader. As you struggle through the $hitshow that you call a career, heed this: your days aren't just numbered, they ran out a long time ago--and you're riding on borrowed … Continue reading Better Truth: Half US Unemployed
Celebrating Winning
As VE Day was being celebrated in Western enclaves here and there yesterday, worst-writer was thinking of George Carlin: "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won … Continue reading Celebrating Winning
Bridges To #MAGA
Well, there you have it, dear worst-reader. Another example of #Americant pseudo-bourgeois spiteful pettiness setting the stage for today and tomorrow and forevermore. Or? In order for worst-moi to worst-write about this issue, allow this free-wheeling worst-recap: Political retaliation was taken by state Republicans against a Democrat Mayor of a New Jersey town that borders, … Continue reading Bridges To #MAGA
Holistic System Of Systems–Gone Awry, Baby
https://youtu.be/HzdXSk1zp6w Check out the vid above, dear worst-reader. Get a'load of how the spineless albeit well-dressed (surely #MAGA morons) exchanged this & that about the fail-upwards life they've been living--and forcing the rest of us to live--but/and have never been able to recognise/comprehend? You know, comprehend as a life choice? Alone how the interviewee is … Continue reading Holistic System Of Systems–Gone Awry, Baby
My Name Is Bonds, Eurobonds
About the pics. A screenshot of a German news program showing how it can turn something un-understandable into something less-understandable...? A screenshot from the same German news program of... wait for it... aghast... Peter Gauweiler. The thing that intrigued me while getting a rare dose of German TV news yesterday, albeit via its website (and not by … Continue reading My Name Is Bonds, Eurobonds
Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
In my play The Good Criminal, a worst-play, don't you know, a play that, of course (1), was rejected by publishers, theatres, and, of course (2), audiences, there is a moment where a modern (Reaganomics) corporatists slash yuppie schmuck is talking about setting oneself free by working hard (for The Corporation), or something like that. … Continue reading Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
Planet Of The Free To Be Stupid
Pseudo-Review: The Planet Of The Humans Pros: this is a somewhat informative--if you're uninformed--documentary with a well branded name connected to it. Cons: #OKBoomer white men1 who are so bored with life that they somehow find a way to make half-decent documentary movies but what they really need to do is step aside and help … Continue reading Planet Of The Free To Be Stupid
Sympathy, Maybe Not
The emotions of man are stirred more quickly than man’s intelligence; and, as I pointed out some time ago in an article on the function of criticism, it is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought. Oscar Wilde, The Soul of a Man
Verarschung
Alt title: worst-writer lessons in un-understanding Deutsch There it is again, dear worst-reader (see pic above). Although it's happening less than it happened, say, twenty years ago--on account there was a time I was, let's say, more hopeful, wishful, dreamy, etc., it still happens now-n-then. Like a grain amongst a ton-bag of salt. I mean. … Continue reading Verarschung
Summary Demise
Pseudo-Review: Hiding In Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior. Cliffsnotes, dear worst-reader. Maybe that's the ticket to understanding what happened to my beloved & missed #Americant since the advent of political stupidity and the election of a two-bit actor for president--oh so many years ago. But enough re-hashing of the good'ole days, eh. Haven't we all … Continue reading Summary Demise
While Walking And Dreaming
https://youtu.be/bMzaVD8TsOs Had a heck of time the other morn, dear worst-reader. As usual, I begin one of three walks a day with Beckett, the killer pug, at around eight in the A.M. After that I feed him and let him sleep until a bird stirs him awake around noon and he barks so loud that … Continue reading While Walking And Dreaming
The Snake
Trump loves to be caught and not be punished. Throughout the 2016 campaign, he recited the poem “The Snake,” a story of treachery that mocks the victims: “You knew damn well I was a snake before you let me in.” It is not enough for Trump to commit a crime. He needs to let you … Continue reading The Snake
