I see a lot going on here and I’m liking it a lot. As one might expect, a lot of references made to those things of the #90s they’re paying homage to with #BulletTime #animation #shorts #SDCC www.youtube.com/watch

Episode 3 of #MECHWEST is the best yet. Definitely subscribe and share to show your support and help them make more episodes. This kind of indie #animation work takes of lot of dedication. www.youtube.com/watch

Corruption. Pure and simple. You have to wonder how many secret documents #TFG’s cronies have destroyed so far… and how many more they have yet to get to. #uspol #jeffreyepstein #childsextrafficking #lies #damnedlies #fascism www.axios.com/2025/07/0…

#Republicans who go on #CNN repeat the same talking points every time. WTF can’t the hosts and #Democrats prepare in order to respond? Do NOT give them credit for ANYTHING!! Stop them from lying. Refute their bullshit. BE PREPARED!! #journalism #uspol #NeoLibsArePartOfTheProblem

#Miami #Florida #Republicans “postponed” the upcoming 2025 elections until November 2026, ensuring that time-limited officials who are no longer eligible to run again will remain in power for another year. Voters did not have a choice. #fascism #lawless #autocracy www.miamiherald.com/news/loca…

I’ve been having a lot of bad days of late dealing with a wide range of pains, brain fog, an accursed tinnitus that averages an 8 out of 10 on the loudness scale, unending exhaustion, and other issues. As a writer by trade, these are all crushing, but I keep trying to post.

What I need is to write something substantial, but for the past year or so I’ve been unable to do much. I haven’t blogged in weeks and filling my days with playing video games, watching YouTube, and drowning out the ringing in my head with music sessions in my AirPods is entirely unproductive.

In the middle of July I shall turn 57 and I’m nowhere near done yet, but the ongoing issues stemming from Long Covid, a bad motorcycle accident in 1990, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis have erected blockades that make it nearly impossible for me to engage in the one thing at which I’m actually decent.

Just ugh. #health #mentalhealth #writing #chronicpain
