“Black Mirror”

“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear. And from our shores, we — you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.” — President Donald J. (for Jackass) Trump on COVID-19 in 2020 KenContinue reading ““Black Mirror””

“Trivialities”

Triviality #1: Most everyone is familiar with Nostradamus. But few realize that he had a prognosticating half-brother called Nostrildamus, who divined the future using exclusively his sense of smell. Triviality #2: I am working on a novel theory called “The Law of Conservation of Shaving Cream and Its Broader Implications on the Future of Mankind.”Continue reading ““Trivialities””

“The Bald F*cking Truth”

It dawned on me that each year both begins and ends with “The Twilight Zone” marathon. Bookends, if you will. And this seems particularly fitting in the era of Trump 2.0, as we now live in a dystopian Shit-Show Supremo run by idiots, charlatans and ghouls. Who are these lame, prick-ass loser-fucks, anyway?! Were theyContinue reading ““The Bald F*cking Truth””

“Old Fezziwig!”

A Merry Christmas to everyone from Great Exudations! This year we have a special treat for you. That timeless traveling troubadour, Tommy Treacle, was in the studio with me earlier this week and we were discussing all things Christmas. Below is a lightly edited version of our conversation. Enjoy! Host: Welcome back, Tommy! It’s beenContinue reading ““Old Fezziwig!””

“New Biometrics in Medicine”

I was brainstorming possible captions for this one and the best came from my friend JS: “When we started this project, our report turnaround times were in the toilet.” Taking callers now… Here are a few other contenders: “We won’t paper over your workflow problem.” “Hands-free when you need it most!” “At Draconian Healthcare, weContinue reading ““New Biometrics in Medicine””

“Put your hand in the hand of the man…”

This seems an apt metaphor for our times, as a man blindly extends his hand through a hole in Yoko Ono’s conceptual art piece, ostensibly to shake hands with a stranger, yet there are no takers. In the COVID era, and in the highest period of partisan divide since the 1960’s/70’s, you’ll only get deadContinue reading ““Put your hand in the hand of the man…””

“God’s Eye View”

Per Wikipedia, Dali was inspired to depict Christ at this steep superior angle by a drawing made by the 16th century Spanish friar John of the Cross, hence the painting’s name. It is an arresting perspective that provokes many ideas at once. And with this I contrast my experience at the Uffizi in Florence, whichContinue reading ““God’s Eye View””
