Sparky says that he is protesting some damn thing, but I wasn’t listening. Early on, he made it clear that he likes pooping on stumps. That was covered in the Poop wars post.
Next walk, he crapped on a stump.

Die Welle, aka The Wave, is 2008 German movie about a free-spirit teacher who gets in over his head. It’s got sub-titles, but worth watching anyway.
Weller gets the bright idea to show them, rather than tell them. He takes on the role of a charismatic leader, and gradually introduces fascistic policies. Kids are gullible, and are eager to finally hear from someone with all of the answers. The students love it, and surprisingly, so does Mr. Weller. The whole thing goes tits-up by the end of the week.
Sparky wants to be an Ewok for Halloween. He is still pissed about The Acolyte, so wanted to do a costume homage to a time when Star Wars was good. He doesn’t have the face for it, but I made him a costume and took some head shots for his portfolio.
The 20th Century was the Century of Physics. In 1905, Einstein published his “Special Theory of Relativity”, and up to about World War 2, modern physics was established. Very little of modern physics corresponds with what we experience in daily life, but it’s been experimentally verified and is used in current technology.
Physicists like Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Max Planck, and others debated the new theories, and tried to make some sense of the universe.
We Are Legion [We Are Bob] is the first book in a five book series known as the “Bobiverse” by Dennis E. Taylor that came out in 2016. It’s funny, creative and thought-provoking, without any heavy-handed messaging for modern audiences. It’s an entertaining and engaging series, and one of the few that I ever revisit.
Dennis Kucinich has a bunch of crazy ideas, but he does seem to have integrity. Bernie Sanders is similar. I’d never vote for either one. Kucinich put out this statement with a few interesting observations, and a whole lot of superfluous jabbering.
When I heard Vice President Harris brag about former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsing her candidacy, that put the exclamation point on the fact that the leaders of the Democratic party are for war. I am not.
A paradox of this campaign is that the much-villainized former President Trump, (representing a party that has also taken us into unnecessary wars) is the one who speaks to the need to negotiate and to talk directly with potential foes in order to avoid war, or to end it.
What seems like a paradox to Kucinich is really his misunderstanding. President Trump got the leaders of North and South Korea to shake hands at the DMZ. That is incredible. Trump also got the Abraham Accords signed by Israel and Saudi Arabia. Putin invaded Ukraine under Obama and Biden.
When Trump took office, he was opposed by all of the Democrats and half of the Republicans. He was opposed by the war industry puppets to whom Kucinich refers.
Kucinich did not take the courageous step to endorse Trump. That would have been something.
Eight years ago, we should have spent more time talking about how much Mike Pence resembles Race Bannon from Johnny Quest.
Vote for whomever you’d like, I just think Tim Walz does resemble a walrus.
When Tim Walz takes his grand kids to play miniature golf, does he put pencils in his mouth and make walrus noises to amuse the children? If not, then, missed opportunity. Miniature golf is fun.
Turns out that Walz doesn’t have grandchildren, so he should file that tip away for later use.
It occurs to me that if I worked with an anthropomorphic walrus, like one might on BoJack Horseman, I might call him ‘Walz” if we got chummy.
Vote for whomever you’d like, I just think this kind of thing is funny.
Fox News: San Jose State Trans volleyball player.
The Utah State Aggies are the latest women’s volleyball team to choose not to participate in a scheduled match against San Jose State University due to a biological male playing on its women’s team.
It’s good to see female athletes finally showing the courage to stand up to the crazy Progressive ideology. Trans players in women’s sports is an issue that men can’t do anything about. When the players don’t tolerate it, change can happen, but not before.
Blaire Fleming is 6′ 1″. According to this site 7% of American men are that tall. About 1 woman in 10,000 are that tall, and I bet Blaire Fleming can bench press more than any of them. The NCAA women’s volleyball net height is 7 inches lower than the men’s net height because of the sex difference in height.
I don’t want to see a man smash a volleyball into a woman’s face at point blank range, but my opinion doesn’t count. The NCAA wants that to happen, and it’s up to the female players to allow it or not.
