I Often Wonder…

…what I will post once the Felon—and the rest of his roach infestation—has been removed from the White House and prosecuted, either by force of law or their own mortality. I mean, it’s been most of what I’ve posted over the past decade, even when Biden was president because it seemed that every. damned. day. it was something new with him or one of his brain-dead followers.

I just want him to shut the fuck up, y’know?

I don’t know about of you, but I have every intention of outliving the bastard, just so I can see (and participate in) the worldwide celebration that erupts even before that big, beautiful headline we’ve all been waiting for is dry on the page.

But what then? Surely there will be a long queue of assholes waiting to grab the spotlight after he’s cremated and his ashes scattered in the middle of the Pacific. (Because you know he won’t receive a regular grave; it would be piss-soaked within an hour of him being lowered into it.)

I faced a similar quandary when Bush II left the stage. I initially started blogging because of that asshole, but in comparison to The Felon, George was a pious schoolboy.

Undoubtedly, my posts will be much like they are now, minus the Felon. There will be a lot of pointing and laughing and the now-defanged Republicans as they bitch and moan about whatever culture war crap they’ve enlisted to rile up the base, and if they’re stripped of both houses of Congress in 2026 and the Presidency in 2028, it will be a laugh riot indeed to watch them impotently rage against the Democrats and the voters who handed them the majority.

The People Have Spoken

Traditional it is! Thanks for playing!

I hate to admit it, but the more I get into the WordPress block editor—something I’ve resisted for years—there are features readily accessilble I either had to dig or resort to an add-in with with the old editor. Conversely, I’m asking the Google, “How do I [simple command in the traditional editor, but completely hidden now] in the WordPress block editor?” I get the answer and—much like it was when I first moved to MacOS from Windows those many, many years ago—I go, “Duh! So simple!”

Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks after all?

Tricks. Sigh. I remember tricks. I remember when I had the hormones of a 25 year old and tricks were about the only thing on my mind.

Forcing Myself

Since WordPress first introduced the Block Editor in 2018, I have avoided using it like the plague, going to far as loading a plug-in that activates (or at least recreates) the Classic Editor.

After 8 years, however, I’ve decided it’s time to embrace change and give the Block Editor a serious try. It’s still confusing as hell to someone like me who has been using WordPress for the last twenty-some years and didn’t immediately adopt the new paradigm.

Maybe you can teach old dogs new tricks. Let’s see how it goes.

2, 4, D. How about y’all?

And with that, it’s enough shitposting for today. Hopefully all of you will get a better nights’ sleep than I ever will, and may we all wake up tomorrow to that big beautiful headline we’ve all been waiting too long for.

G’nite, gents!

Did Some Housekeeping

My blog categories have become unmanageable.

I had 31 pages of 20 cateories each. 620 categores in total! There were duplicates, small variations of names, things that should’ve been subcategories but weren’t…that sort of shit. It was a mess.

This here blog thingie currently has 29,306 posts. Now I could’ve gone through and fixed all the issues by opening each post manually and changing the categories that were categorized incorrectly or should’ve been in subcategories, but…

So what I ended up doing was going through and deleting categories wholesale. I kept the basics: Art, Blogging, Health, Hot Menz (with no subcategories at the moment, sorry—and to be honest they might not return), Humor, Music, Photography, Politics, Science, Tech, Teh St00pid, Work, and of course the default category, Uncategorized.

In my haste to clean things up, I deleted a few main categories that shouldn’t have been deleted: Art, Blogging, Health, Politics, and Science. I do have a backup of the website on the server, but because I’d have to restore the main database to get the categories back, it would wipe out any changes I’ve made to the entire blog since the snapshot was taken (not to mention all the weeding I’d just done). So…yeah. Not gonna happen.

Deleting the categories didn’t delete the original posts the tags were assigned to, so I didn’t lose anything as far as that’s concerned.

Apologies to anyone who used categories to find posts. I will repopulate those empty categories with new posts as time goes by.
