OldGuy™, retired prof/scientist (actual ROCKET scientist!), author, fierce atheist, huge Taylor Swift fan, very cat person. Antifa and woke forever; love astronomy, machining, foundry, and building & flying rockets; a little gardening.
Four years ago today a tornado struck nearby Mayfield, KY. Much of the town was all but leveled. Today much of the damage has been repaired, but in this area of Kentucky, tornadoes will continue to be a serious hazard.

And if you answer with "mysterious ways"...that is referred to as "horseshit". Or "bullshit". Pick one.

Musing...when the MangoMussolini finally departs this mortal coil, which of his asslicking toadies will head to Argentina? Who will leave first? Does Vegas have odds on this? Maybe Lloyds of London? Inquiring minds want to know! (Flipping a coin between JD Couchfucker and Polyphead Miller.)

Wrote two editions of a book on rockets. Damn, you have to write *fast* cuz they really move. A couple sentences on each one on liftoff. And Elmo's shots just RUIN good material when they boom.

I see posts on "Home Alone"....but where is the affection for the truly quintessential xmas movie?

Please realize that leaking the full, unredacted Epstein files might be illegal. And the person(s) who do so would receive the undying gratitude of a nation tired of corruption at the highest levels. (The GoFundMe for their legal defense would be...impressive.) Just sayin'

Listen to Monte Mader flame the hypocrisy of christofascists, starting from the days when slaves were brought to the US -- and given bibles with very interesting omissions (gotta leave out that stuff in Exodus about freeing slaves...). 3 min clip.

Doing NO SHOPPING through (at least) Tuesday. Doing my part to wake up corporations to the fact that WE THE CONSUMERS can control their companies -- when we wish to do so.

Family of 4: for Tgiving we voted for turkey. (A) Bragging; mine is ALWAYS juicy! (B) Mashed taters with lots of gravy is a favorite; (C) Turkey shepherd's pie for Saturday after.

But for xmas, we're just making/buying a bunch of appetizers. Graze as desired, whenever desired. SO simple!

Our whole department used to head "down south" for beer and Mexican food around noon every Friday. Secretaries had to hold down the fort.

By Monday there will be millions of hungry kids with enraged parents. I wonder how good security of Repub representatives and senators is. I will do nothing, but I wonder what will happen when a few dozen of those parents see Micro Johnson in public. Is he frightened? He -- and they -- should be...

On the LBL (Land Between the Lakes; western Kentucky and Tennessee) website. Surely everyone visiting LBL would need to know this critical Alert. (And DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY!😂)

If you are, or expect to be, a caregiver for an elderly person, this video is worth a look. Do you know how to give him/her a bath? Lots of useful info here.

I think we need to thank 80-proof Pete for the meeting yesterday. Yes, really. The actual leaders of the military were forced to see and hear just how deranged, how literally insane, the ersatz SecDef and the pseudo-Commander in Chief are.

When the order comes down from that failed businessman...

One of the few 'good' things about living in the south: MDs are willing to prescribe cough meds that ACTUALLY WORK. Just 20 years ago you could get codeine-based cough med with only your signature. Tussionex contains hydrocodone; strong, yes, but when your livelihood depends on speaking...

JUST when I was getting interested in House M.D., the goddamn idiot conglomerate had to dump Jimmy Kimmel. And Hulu is the only place I've found that has House from Season 1 onward. I cancelled Hulu, just gonna have to watch clips on YouTube I guess. Motherfuckers. Hope your assholes itch forever.

Wondering how much Mrs. Kirk will be willing to pay for enough people to fill the seats for the 'tribute' to Charlie. I expect she'll be able to afford it. Call it 40k seats at $50 each, $2 million at most. There will even be people willing to PAY for a seat, I'm sure. Stoooopids abound.

Stop talking about Charlie. He's dead. History will judge him.

Release. The. Fucking. Epstein. Files.

Charlie Kirk spent his time classifying women and nonwhite men as 2nd-class citizens (at best), LGBTQ+ and nonwhite women as 3rd class, and probably LGBTQ+ nonwhites as animals. Charlie, there's a phrase in a book you've probably never read, something about reaping what you sow.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines [company] as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes" ― Douglas Adams

SCOTUS and REPUBLICANS should take this to heart. I wonder how good their security really is.

Got the COVID, flu, Tdap, and pneumonia vaccines. Am awake at 1 am, both arms sore and feeling slightly feverish. No big deal.

I used to get the flu almost every Feb-March. Flat on my back for at least three days. Haven't had it for twenty years. Vaccines save lives AND reduce misery.

RFKJr is doing a perfect job.

He is providing a distraction from the Epstein Files on which the media can concentrate. Nothing right now on the MSM about the Epstein Files, everything on RFKJr.

Don't forget the Epstein files. And the Epstein-Trump VICTIMS!!
