Notes from a Mystery Science Theater 3000 Addict Living With MST3K as Background Noise I watch a ridiculous amount of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax. Not “I’ve seen a few episodes” — I mean, they’re on in the background pretty much all the time. I fall asleep to them, I cook with them playing,……

Thoughts, events and news about me. Probably the least-used category, hopefully.
Fruits I Shall Not Taste
I’m the last generation that will know what I’m about to talk about: growing up, there were times when you literally had nothing to do. By contrast, today there is never a period where you cannot do something—get on your phone, watch a screen, call somebody, text somebody, make a video, take photographs, build an……
Murder in S.C.
I used to watch this guy all the time. I find it very entertaining to hear the way he relays these stories, almost like an expert witness at a trial. He is a psychiatrist, from what I gather, since he calls himself Dr. Todd Grande. (I’m always a little skeptical when it comes to people……
What’s Michael Watching on YouTube?
I thought I’d start posting the best 5 YouTube channels I find each week, starting today.

Too much?
Never Give Up
To say I’ve had some challenges, and lost, for the past decade would be an understatement. A lot of it was documented on this site, until around 2022, when I began getting hammered from every side emotionally. It seemed everything was going wrong, despite me running at 100% to do what’s right and good. There……
When Victimizers Pretend They’re Victims
There’s been a growing phenomenon in this country, where people who have no ability to reason decide to play the victim in life. But it’s always the EXACT same thing they do to victimize others. Projecting(big time), deflection, whatever you want to call it, would all be correct. Avoidance of responsibility is the goal, while……
Beware of ChatGPT and other AI Models
They will mislead you. Bad. (But not on purpose.) I recently became enamored with AI models for my searches/inquiries, and have all but replaced Google as my primary search engine. It’s great for anything you can ever imagine asking unless you need something like a website or to pull up something quickly. Those times are……
Turning a Molehill into a Mountain
This is a perfect example of how something starts so small and ends up being massive by the time you blink. This time I’m talking about doing work on my SUV. Last week, I had some time to devote to performing maintenance on my truck, which I do myself because it’s not that hard if……
What is Going on in America, July 2025
There are some foul winds blowing across this nation, especially if you are a long-time native of America as I and my family are. I used to hear “However California goes, so goes America.” That appealed to me when I was a teenager, in the 1980s. I was young, free, and ignorant and the “California……
