With artificial intelligence and a few targeted prompts, anyone can become an armchair cartoonist. This one was inspired by a steakhouse wall that boasted multiple clocks, all bearing important destinations like San Fran, NYC, and Paris. The idea hit that it, instead, could be Fresno and Missoula and Ft. Wayne, as there are so manyContinue reading ““A.I. or Bust””

“DEMAGOGUE Records presents…”
… the complete back catalogue of the incomparable and highly consequential musical artist COVFEFE. The sound of an entire socio-political movement that broke like a category-5 tropical (septic) cyclone. No graphics required. He neither asked permission nor forgiveness. No shits were left to be given — it was all there in the music. The highsContinue reading ““DEMAGOGUE Records presents…””

“A Day in the Life of Donald J. Trump”
And now these words on time from the Bard: “I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.” — from Richard II, Act V, Scene 5 “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools TheContinue reading ““A Day in the Life of Donald J.

My buddy noted the relative lack of brand logos and product endorsements in that era, which led me to ponder what a comparable player onContinue reading ““The Senior Tour””
“Elegant Brown Toilet”
This post was added as a needed sorbet from posts about our oxygen-sucking idiotocratic national leadership, who continue to pile stupid upon stupid and corrupt upon corrupt.

And they never lie more than with their comparative statistics. Hospital administrators start off by placing a near zero productivity value on a clinician’s administrative tasks, all theContinue reading ““Hospital Productivity Metrics””
“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.

“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””
