It's Thursday and I'm writing this because I want to get it out of my head. I'm still taking a break. Anyhow. Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to be the next Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, taking old boss Stephen Breyer's place when he steps down this summer. She won the vote with a 53-47 score … Continue reading Friday, April 7, 2022

Look. I don't make a habit of watching awards shows anyway, so I didn't watch the Oscars last night. I have seen the video of Will Smith slapping the taste out of Chris Rock's mouth, but I honestly don't care. I will say, however, if there's a possibility a presenter might get smacked for being … Continue reading Monday, March 28, 2022

Okay, let's get something down. The Tupelo City Council held another meeting today to discuss the whole marijuana thing. As we discussed Wednesday, they got the city all squared away concerning where growers and dispensaries could do their business. There wasn't any change to what was hammered out Tuesday and the Council will meet April 5 to decide … Continue reading Friday, March 25, 2022

The Republican Party continued its preview of the next couple of election cycles, letting everyone know it's going to all racism and transphobia. Jobs? Infrastructure? National security? Nope, it's going to be books that teach kids that racism is wrong and the idea that trans people exist riling up the shuffling horde that is Conservative … Continue reading Wednesday, March 23, 2022

The U.S. Senate opened its questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson today and it went pretty much like you would expect. For example, Cory Booker of New Jersey was practically gushing, calling it a "day of joy." The first African American woman nominated to the Supreme Court in the country's 245-year history is … Continue reading Monday, March 21, 2022

No, I am not going to waste time on that dumbass New York Times op-ed about censorship. The idea that "cancel culture from the Left" is the same as "banning books and threatening teachers from the Right" is the same thing is goddamn stupid. Furthermore, have we really given "cancel culture" a decent shot? Maybe … Continue reading Friday, March 18, 2022

I don't know what to tell you. It's been one of those days. Anyhow. There really isn't much grabbing the old attention today. The Russian Invasion continues on and Russia's slowly gaining more ground. The Russian government apparently has approached China for help, according to U.S. intelligence. The specifics are still unknown but the general … Continue reading Monday, March 14, 2022

Okay, then. The East Coast is supposed to get some nasty weather with them calling for snow from Maine to Mississippi. It's apparently a "bomb cyclone" which is an actual thing. Basically, it's a winter storm with a low-pressure center where the barometric pressure drops significantly over a day. The number's 24 millibars in 24 … Continue reading Friday, March 11, 2022

We haven't looked at the state of the state lately. Let's rectify that right quick. Last month, recall, Gov. Tate Reeves shocked the world by signing the medical marijuana bill that had recently passed both the Senate and the House with the same overwhelming numbers that the initial initiative did back in 2020. Municipalities have 90 days … Continue reading Friday, March 3, 2022

Man, we blew through February, didn't we? I wonder if this is a regular aspect of getting older, time flying by like this. Granted, I probably spent more of the month asleep than awake, so there's that. I don't know, man. Today marked the first full week of the Russian Invasion. The Russians are still … Continue reading Wednesday, March 2, 2022
