He’s a bad’un, for sure.

Adams and Eves
The root cause of the DEI debacle is batshit crazy white women who don’t know how anything works outside the female experience.
– Scott Adams
It’s been a year since Andrews McMeel cancelled Dilbert, a decision that Scott Adams blames on the DEI movement. Freed from the shackles of syndicate oppression, Adams is an unapologetic right-wing extremist. He says Democrats are playing the victim card, while claiming to be a DEI victim himself.

The Pratt Finals
One of my earliest posts pointed out that the final episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus took aim at the name Pratt.
Yesterday’s post about Red Dwarf reminded me of another favorite British TV show, Blackadder. The series finale is noted for its tragic conclusion, where everyone is killed in WWI. Curiously, like Monty Python, the episode also has a Pratt reference.
Another British take on The War to End All Wars.
Red Dwarf Retreat
Red Dwarf was the nerdiest of all nerdy Sci-Fi shows, as well as also being the raunchiest.
Fans who are wondering where Craig “Lister” Charles is today will find him on BBC Radio 6.
Bring Back Avocado Green!
The kitchen’s inevitable first appliance with a stainless finish, rather than white.
The installation went all right, but not entirely. One of the guys, let’s call him the “assistant,” did something wrong, and they tried to BS me about it. Not a good idea. The other guy, let’s call him the “installer,” made it right, after I kept insisting I knew that something was wrong, which it was. That’s all I have to say about that.
Update: Actually, that isn’t all I have to say. I see they dinged the door. That’s what happens when you don’t unbox inside the house, but do it in the truck, then have one guy haul it inside — in the rain — by himself. That’s after tearing off the factory-installed insulation cover, because you think it’s packing material. I’ve requested an exchange. They’ll likely offer a credit on the installation cost. Always — always — unbox on premises. How can they not know this?
Out With the New, Out With the Old, In With the New
Oh, such fun. At least a dishwasher is an appliance you can live without for a while. When the Samsung was dropped off, the delivery guy admonished me to save the packing materials, “in case it has to go back.” Which I did, because it did.
The return was arranged and the refund came through (thank you, Lowe’s). The dead KitchenAid was picked up by the local trash service for $60.
So what will replace the dead Kitchenaid? A new KitchenAid, with the exact same controls. Express Wash is a favorite button. Purchased online from Best Buy, it should be delivered and installed tomorrow before noon.
