Meandering Monday about Saving the Planet for Who(m)?

Posted on November 4, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Environmentalists echo a phrase all the time – they are SAVING THE PLANET. I’m not sure WHO (or is it WHOM?) they are trying to save the planet for. Certainly not for human beings – they seem to think humans are the problem. So many of their remedies seem to have to do with reducing … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Wanting to be Famous

Posted on October 28, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

The day I decided to write this post, Felicity Huffman was all over the news. She’s in prison for cheating to get her child into a university. Lots of pictures of her in prison. News that her husband got to visit her. News about another person/ other people fighting the same charges. You notice I … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Greener Grass

Posted on September 9, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Jealousy and envy are human nature – it’s why the Bible has prohibitions against them (any religion worth its salt should be pushing its adherents to be better than the animals – to hold us to a higher standard – instead of patting us on the back and telling us we’re perfect.) It isn’t amazing … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about What We Really Know

Posted on August 26, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

We do our best to understand the world around us. Assuming our understanding is true, our thoughts are happening inside our skulls, pretty much isolated from everything else. We rely on information coming to us from outside… of whatever it is we think we are on the inside. We have to trust that information, but … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Obsolete” (and a coupon!)

Posted on August 16, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

We’re getting closer and closer to making “improvements” in our genetics, whether it’s a good idea or not. I was wondering – as we FINALLY try to go into space, will our ability to alter ourselves become more cost effective than creating safety devices to protect us from the perils of space travel? And what … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Two Misfit Genius Shows

Posted on July 8, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

My significant one and I don’t appear to be much into what’s popular on television (or at least what’s considered worthy of viewing by the gatekeepers at the various networks.) So many shows that we enjoy watching from the very start are suffer early death-by-cancellation. Timeless and The Colony come to mind, among others. I … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Windmills of My Mind

Posted on July 1, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I’m easily distracted. I can be in a conversation with someone, and I’ll notice something – the way two conflicting, different-colored light sources cast crisscrossing shadows, or a cloud that looks like a dragon, or how the swirls of plaster on the wall look like a face. Or maybe a word that I hear reminds … Continue reading →
