Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?

June is Pride Month in support of the LBGTQIA community. Lately, conservatives and Christians have gone on a rant against Target, Bud Light beer and even Chick-fil-A, the corporate equivalent of their grand old racist uncle, for being “woke.” There once was a time when corporations and businesses didn’t acknowledge this community. You may rememberContinue reading “Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?”

‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment

Note: To discuss this, I will use the Spivak pronouns the author uses which are gender-neutral. People like Maia Kobabe have existed for centuries. But e have been labeled as “tomboys” or “butch” where are derogatory and misleading. It’s hilarious for a society such as ours that wants to censor anything and everything that revolvesContinue reading “‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment”

Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. One of my peeves is when people say “Happy Memorial Day.” There’s nothing to be happy about people who were killing in action, or died as the result of their war wounds. And I’m talking about those who became addicted to alcohol or drugs to help with their pain. I’m alsoContinue reading “Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day”

It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)

While watching a Congressional hearing where Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked the Democrats to remember the “decorum” of the House of Representatives as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), someone online commented it was started to appear like the British Parliamant. While I’m admit, we’re sliding into the United Kingdom’s mentality of “Not tooContinue reading “It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)”

But for many other people, she was known as Aunty Entity the ruthless leader of Bartertown in the barren wasteland ofContinue reading “Long Live The Queen Of Rock”

Anna Nicole Smith Doc Exploits While Accusing Others Of Exploitation

The Netflix documentary Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me is two hours of stuff we probably already knew. Smith has been deceased for over 16 years, which was longer than she was active. So, why do something like this now? Filmmaker Ursula Macfarlane assembles some people who were close to Smith as talking-head interviewees.Continue reading “Anna Nicole Smith Doc Exploits While Accusing Others Of Exploitation”

What Part Of Leave Britney Alone Don’t These Parasites Freaking Understand

I haven’t watched the TMZ documentary about Britney Spears. There’s no need to. The bar has been set so low over the years by TMZ that an ant can’t even limbo underneath it. Titled Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom apparently alleges that Spears doesn’t get much sleep and has a rocky marriage with herContinue reading “What Part Of Leave Britney Alone Don’t These Parasites Freaking Understand”
