This is an amazing project, even more so than it will be officially hosted by Disney. Plus, a local Minnesota connection to boot.

Still at it
I just noticed that I started transitioning the Movable Type pages over a year ago, since last May. Still at it. Actually, some of the posts may yet be recoverable so I might go back through some of them and see what I can recover.
Basically, I have the early stuff done up through 2003. As for the rest, August 2009 on should be mostly there (like I said, found some archives to maybe reclaim some lost posts). Hopefully I can get the 2004-2009 stuff done in the coming months since I obviously wasn’t posting a whole hell of a lot back then. And what I did was a mish-mash dump of links that had zero coherence. In short, probably what my brain will turn into going forward.
Predator: Hunting Grounds – Isabelle Tapes – Predator Lore
Did you want to know what happened to Royce and Isabelle after Predators?
Well, here’s a glimpse.
WHY IS THE WORLD’S FIRST NUCLEAR REACTOR BURIED IN A FOREST PRESERVE?
Folks are still finding out that in the rush to make a nuclear bomb, we basically just had a nuclear pile in the middle of Chicago that wasn’t entirely stable all the time.
Anyway, the remains of that are still in the area.
A Spotting Guide to the Apocalypse: The Cars of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”
Furiosa was fun, had lots of character and backstory. Sure, it wasn’t Fury Road, but what the hell is? Cars were dialed back but still neat. Here’s a look at what went into making them.
One Man’s Fight to Preserve Pakistan’s Perfect Cooking Pot
The story of the gorkon, and the work to keep it a going concern.
Why So Many Diners Look Like Train Cars
I kind of always had this question. Nice to know the answer.
Recusal Hypocrisy?
For the GOP, it is ALWAYS someone else’s fault. Accountability not included.
Republicans are targeting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day
Republicans.
They hate early voting.
They hate rank choice voting.
They hate absentee voting and vote by mail.
They hate college kids voting.
They hate giving you a drop-off box. Remember in Houston a few years back, they only sanctioned TWO boxes for the whole damn city?
But they LOVE to put you in a long line on election day, without water, but only if you are in a minority voting district.
I was going to post a link to examples of all the above statements, but you can probably just input them into a search engine and get them all by your lonesome. I have posted on these in the past.
In short, they can’t win if everyone who wants to participates, so they are going out of their make to make that nigh impossible.
The current story here is about folks who mail in their ballots on election day and it takes a few days to make it to the clerk’s office.
Never mind part of the reason the mail is slow is that Louis DeJoy, who Trump put in as postmaster general in order to slow down the mail, is STILL in office for some inexplicable reason. The thumb is ALREADY on the scale, yet the GOP still wants to punish voters for their mail-in votes.
Tell ya what? We’ll get to this case once Trump is done with all his election interference cases. You know, the ones that have mostly been pushed back until about 2049 or so? Deal?
Superintendent gets restraining order against dad who pushed him off stage so he couldn’t shake daughter’s hand
Baraboo, WI had another racist incident again. Some buckra parent decided to rush the stage at his daughter’s graduation and shove the black superintendent out of the way before he could shake said daughter’s hand.
Yep, he interrupted his daughter’s ceremony to ensure her lily white skin didn’t touch a black man.
I *KNOW* who he’s voting for this year. And he WILL be voting because he’s not being charged with felony assault like he should be.
But he at least has (probably) been fired.
