From this morning’s paper…
–From The How Did We Get Here Series– Now: Leslie Thompson woke up from a perfectly good nap that she had begun on her beach chair in her back yard next to her pool. Her eyes grew wide as she realized that she wasn’t wearing...
Interesting article this morning about a simulation that shows how long the Earth has before we are no longer able to breath on it. To find that tipping point, the researchers created a simulation of Earth that factored in variables that described the climate as...
I grew up on this comic. An old friend and I used to look at these together growing up.
Ok. This one was funny too.
Found these the other day. They are still funny.
Well, it was pretty exciting but the weekend upgrade thing is over. Well, for now anyway. I expect we will be still working on things for most of the week. Collective sigh… P.S. Yes. Nude girl jumping is appropriate.
I am surprised to see this from California. “Cancel culture and the efforts to silence differing opinions and voices should be a growing concern for all of us,” said state Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore. “A climate of intolerance has been established and has stifled...
I could write an entire book on why marriage is a horrible institution. On my website, a bad marriage is defined by any marriage. They are all bad. This post might jump around a bit. Marriage is basically agreeing to put up with someone else...
I guess another term for it would be major system upgrade. I’m not sure how much writing I’ll be able to do over the weekend but I am hoping to keep to the schedule. I’ve gotten a brilliant idea to write a screenplay for my...
Sometimes when I am in the bathroom in the morning, I’ll be thinking about a topic and just proceed to create a great quote from it. The key to remembering everything is to NOT remember anything. You are probably shaking your head. “This is complete...
HDWGH – Story 21 – Supermarket Shuffle –From The How Did We Get Here Series– Now: 71 year old grocery shopper Helen Ford is standing in front of the local grocery store in handcuffs. Police have her surrounded and are in the process of interrogating...
Looks like we’re going to finally get some Star Wars style weapons after all. CW lasers may be effective enough for now, but fall short of science fiction. They just aren’t capable of firing at that speed. While they can melt their targets, burn them...
Facebook Reverses Australian Ban on News Sharing I’m not sure I’d call this a reversal. Facebook isn’t going to pay in the way the Australian government first wanted them to. They had to amend the law so that Facebook could live with it. Australian authorities...
I just thought of a brilliant idea. How do you weed down the population? Float a story about the Earth being flat. The people that believe it… …they’ve gots to go! Like I said, brilliant.
How about this one? NASA says some Earth organisms could temporarily survive on Mars Fun fact. ALL life could temporarily survive on Mars. ALL life could temporarily survive in open space. ALL life could temporarily survive inside of a volcano. ALL life could temporarily survive...
Flashbacks were the subject of a course that I am taking on fictional writing. I have used them in the things that I have written but I admit, I use them sparingly. They can be a great tool but they can also make the story...
–From The How Did We Get Here Series– Now: Twelve year old Roxanne Davis is standing under a tree in her neighbor’s yard. She is soaked from head to bare toes in urine. She is doing a bit more than crying. It could actually be...
Link to a much more readable view here.
I think that any scientist working on the climate has preconceived notions. We may call that an agenda but I don’t think I’d go quite that far. Climate warming or Global Warming is a dynamic issue for two reasons. It depends on population. Let’s face...
I know someone who is married. Yes. That alone can be a scary thing but what I’d like to point out is the following. In most healthy relationships, the woman always gets the new car. This is for many reasons but mainly because she is...
