  • Treasure Chest, Robert Louis Stevenson Jr. High School Yearbook, 1939

    Treasure Chest, Robert Louis Stevenson Jr. High School Yearbook, 1939

    Bought at a local estate sale, this yearbook is a look into history, into the East Los Angeles community. East Los Angeles was an unincorporated area east of the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Many of the residents there came from Boyle Heights, which was a “melting pot” of different cultures. According to the…

  • Commissar-General Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the End of America

    I find this hilarious.

  • My Top Favorite Conspiracy Theories

    The Civilian Space Program and NASA were Fronts for the Nuclear Missile Program. The NSA is Spying On Us, Scanning Our Public Posts for Keywords.

  • January 5, 2019 Update

    The holidays left me stuffed, and so busy that work became an afterthought. My friend also had some medical issues and I ended up being a driver for most of the month. I swear, driving takes a lot out of me, physically and mentally. There are only a couple updates this month.

Dead at age 18, in the 1950s, buried in the neighborhood. Tono, the only name on the grave. Japanese headstones stand at attention, waiting for…

  • The Lotto and Voting Machine Meme is Bugging Me

    This meme’s been bugging me a lot, on a couple different levels. There’s a technical annoyance, which I’ll get to later, but there’s also this lack of history. The election system is broken on purpose to disenfranchise some people more than others, and it’s always been a fight to get voting rights for Black people…

  • Professions in Decline, and Some Growing

    I was reading this clickbait post and decided to summarize, so I’d internalize the info a bit more. The format is: Job – reason why it’s in decline. Mortgage Brokers – replaced by online services. Bookkeeper – article calls it AI, but it’s really backend integration between busineseses and tax software. Lawyer – case research…
