Thursday Bag o’ Boob Tubery
“You know the good cop/bad cop routine in every police procedural ever? Now imagine Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly as the cops.”
Tuesday Bag o’ Soothing Slogans
One of the things I strive to do is to keep calm and carry on. But oh, it’s hard, with all the stupidity and racism loose in the land. And I can’t decide which is the chicken and which is the egg, stupidity or racism. Maybe they’re the same thing. When racists went after Obama […]
Air-Minded: Museum Updates
Yesterday was my day to volunteer at the Pima Air & Space Museum, where I lead back-to-back walking tours at 10:30 and 11:30 AM every Wednesday. There were no takers for the 10:30 tour, so I used my unexpected free hour to walk around the grounds taking photos of new exhibits. The first thing to […]

Would the school board have reversed itself if its actions hadn’t made it a national […]
Wednesday Bag o’ Wrongness
Amazon-Owned Goodreads Deleting Reviews Wholesale. So reads the scare headline at Making Light. I joined Goodreads three years ago. I’d been using a shitty online book application called Visual Bookshelf to catalog books I’d read and reviews I’d written. I’ve been delighted with Goodreads, a large, active community of readers, writers, and reviewers, and to date […]
