The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!


Today's Shocker: Illiteracy in the USA

5 Mar 2025 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

21% of adults in the USA are illiterate. 54% of the adult population reads below a 6th grade level. Personally, I find those high numbers shocking for a supposedly first-world country. Just stop and think about that for a moment when you argue with p...

One House-Sitting Gig Done, Another to Go

2 Mar 2025 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

Hey bee itches! I'm back (although you probably didn't even notice my brief abscence). I hope you had a great weekend. I've just got back from a house-sitting gig and am due to start another one tomorrow night if I'm not mistaken. It's pretty sweet a...

Top Trumps (A post for those MAGA Hats who mistake me for stupid)

25 Feb 2025 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

I just love writing anti-Trump posts, waiting a bit and watching all the Alt Wrong nutters fall over themselves to defend their hero and question both my intellect and education with ad hoc attacks (since they no doubt lack the capacity to argue with...

Joe Biden: The Human Gaffe Machine

24 Feb 2025 2 minute read 3 comments Great White Snark

Since I did a list of some of the stupid things Donald Trump has said and tweeted, it's only fair to do lists for other politicians. To that end, here's a list of "Sleepy" Joe Biden's gaffes: "You're trying your breast, but it's never enough." “Poo...

The Little Book of Trumpisms: The Donald on Immigration, Global Warming, His Rivals, Mexicans and More

I think I know what I want for my birthday (although I'll have to wait about six months for it to happen): The Little Book of Trumpisms: The Donald on Immigration, Global Warming, His Rivals, Mexicans and More by Seth Milstein I don't know about you,...

What happened to my staying power? (A Mini Rant)

18 Feb 2025 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

I'm not one to consider myself blessed with an abundance of endurance or stamina (for which I blame my ADHD). What little I do have seems horribly diminished. Perhaps shockingly, I'm ready to throw in the towel before I've even found a job to keep me...

If I Felt Anything, I Think it Would Be Anger

4 Feb 2025 1 minute read 2 comments Great White Snark

Thanks to the pills I'm on, I feel nothing but fine and everything is peachy; no extremes of emotion either way. That, in itself, can be problematic, since my emotional range is limited/blunted and my responses atypical. It's been over a month since...

Farewell, Sweet Pooch

17 Dec 2024 1 minute read 8 comments Great White Snark

My dog died today. She was thirteen years old, deaf and blind, but happy. She lived a mostly happy life and was loving and loyal to the end. She went to the vet because her stomach was distended/bloated and had been for a couple of days without any s...

Oh Dear, Americans, What Have You Done?

7 Nov 2024 2 minute read 16 comments Great White Snark

You've gone and elected the orange buffoon again, that's what. Surely once was bad enough, but twice? I can hardly believe it, but the unthinkable has happened! I mistakenly thought you were brighter than that, that you'd learn from past mistakes, bu...
