Then there’s this:

Man’s horrifying four-word ‘reason’ for beheading his girlfriend

Okay, spoiler:  apparently, she “pushed him too far”.

Which of course leads me into thinking of a game.

Ignoring the sex of the killer and victim — in other words, it could have been directed at either a woman or a man — list your own 4-word excuses for decapitating someone summarily.

Mine:  “Bitch/Asshole had it coming.”

Your suggestions in Comments… and there may well be a prize for the entry which makes me giggle like a little girl.

De-Cluttering 2

Bad News, Tragedy

We talked about this topic before — that of clearing out and binning stuff as one ages and downsizes — and here’s yet another take:

The pain of downsizing has come as a complete shock. My life is etched into the possessions I’m having to cast off for ever.

…and the exposition of her situation follows, which ended when she didn’t de-clutter prior to downsizing, and is now facing life in a small overstuffed [sic] cottage.

I get that.  I really do.  But as Nadine Dorries worries about that issue, there’s another one:  the pain of keeping shared stuff as a constant and sometimes bitter reminder of times long past.

At some point, though, you have to realize that regardless of sentiment, stuff is just stuff.  And the part that isn’t understood is that once you’ve done it for the first time, the de-cluttering becomes progressively less hurtful.

And by the way:  I covet her late husband’s “hand-forged tools”, even though I have neither space for, nor need of them.  See how that works?

Grifters & Cons

Found this jolly little missive in my Inbox last night, from simon @ domainservice.net.cn:

(Please Kindly send this message to your CEO because this is urgent. If you consider this has been delivered to you in error, please disregard it. Thanks.)

Dear CEO,
This is a official email. We are the Domain Registration Service company in Shanghai, China. I have an issue to confirm with you. An application was received by us from Baokang Ltd on January 13, 2026. They desire to register “kimdutoit” as their internet keyword and Chinese domain names (kimdutoit.cn, kimdutoit.com.cn, kimdutoit.net.cn, kimdutoit.org.cn). But after checking it, we notice this name conflicts with your business name or brand name. To deal with this issue properly, it’s necessary to send a message to you and verify if this firm is your distributor in China?

Best regards
Simon Liu

Seems all official and stuff, dunnit?  The question, though, is why any person or organization would want to use “kimdutoit.anything” in China?

And just in case you’re interested, Bloomberg says this about the company wishing to use my name:

I truly thought that scammers and phishers were more creative than this.

When Fine Sentiments Kill

Morons & Idiots

Here’s one that got my teeth chattering with rage:

The man who has become the face of the many brave deeds by everyday Australians during the Bondi Beach attack has revealed why he didn’t shoot back at the gunmen.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, 43, skyrocketed to worldwide fame after he risked his life when he wrestled a firearm from mass shooter Sajid Akram on December 14.

Police alleged Sajid and his son, Naveed Akram, opened fire on a Jewish festival celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach.

Police fatally shot Sajid and wounded Naveed, bringing an end to the horrific attack, but not before 15 innocent people had been gunned down and dozens more injured.

At one point during the attack, Mr Ahmed snatched a gun from Sajid and pointed it back at him. He refused to shoot, despite having been shot five times himself.

Wait:  you disarm a guy who’s been shooting and killing total strangers, and instead of shooting the bastard dead with his own gun, you… let him go?

While in New York he was asked why he didn’t shoot when he had the weapon pointed at the gunman.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering that myself.

He said he didn’t pull the trigger because he was not seeking revenge. 

‘I didn’t shoot him because I was doing it as humility, to stop him to kill more innocent human beings,’ he said, adding that he was also not concerned for his safety, but rather the people at the beach. 

I hate to say this, you absolute schmuck, but letting him go simply allowed him to get another gun and shoot more people.

Your self-righteous “humility” came at the expense of more victims.

Let me tell you:  a guy shoots me half a dozen times or whatever, I somehow survive and get hold of his (still-loaded) gun… guess what happens next?

If you guessed “the asshole’s brains are suddenly exposed to the open air and parts thereof become fertilizer for the lawn he’s standing on”, get a gold star and collect your prize at the door on the way out.

“Oh no, I’m too good for revenge” my aching African-America ass.

I need to stop now before I get really upset.

Yeah, We All Knew That A Long Time Ago

Marxists, Traitors / Fifth Columnists

From here:

Many people have noticed that agitators in Minneapolis are well-organized, sporting identical whistles, vests, and signs.

Is this a grassroots organic movement? Of course not.

Let’s take a look at the organizers and sponsors.

…and then follows a listing of the Usual Suspects:  Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, a whole bunch of other front organizations and… U.S. taxpayers.

The real question is this:  how in the name of goodness has George Soros not had his U.S. citizenship yanked, his money confiscated and been exiled to [insert your favorite destination here] ?

Range time?  I think so.
