#HHOTW 105 – 18th April 2025

Greetings groovers. It’s already Friday again. How’d that happen so fast? I’ve got a small selection of treats, but you don’t need to wait till Easter to enjoy them.

The main highlight this week is a piece I wrote about the rapidly deteriorating situation in the US of A. Whether you follow the news closely, like I do, or you just dip in and out, this piece pulls together a whole bunch of evil stuff that the Trump regime is doing. You can read the piece RIGHT HERE, or you can click the distress graphic below.

One photo

I actually went outside this week. It was good. I should do it more often.

One Shitpost

I’ll let it speak for itself. Additional commentary is not required.

An Easter treat!

If you need some entertainment this weekend, I suggest you check this out. If the special is successful, we’re hoping to take to a full series.

And that wraps us up for this week. Make sure you pop by again next Friday for even more hippy hilarity!

#HHOTW 104

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, depending upon your exact location on our dying planet. Welcome to another edition of Hippy Highlight of the Week, or #HHOTW for short.

Here’s a piece I wrote about the year 1975, specifically about some media that you really should check out. You can find it RIGHT HERE, or you could click the link to the graphic below. The choice, as always, is yours.

Prediction

I made this graphic a while ago, and posted it on Twitter, and Reddit. It’s a prediction that I totally want credit for, should it come true. I’d wager it’s about 50/50 that Orange Shitler actually does it.

And for the interests of transparency, here are links to my original posts from February on TWITTER, and REDDIT. Would it surprise you if he did this?

Discovery

This is kinda cool. I have been clearing old crap out of my place for a while, and as I have been doing it, I’ve discovered things I thought were lost. Here’s one of them:

I was given that hat when I completed my internship at MTV in NYC nearly 40 years ago. If you would like to read about my time at MTV, I wrote a 4 part series about it, called MTV Redux. You should check it out.

Two quick shitposts

First there’s this one:

And here’s number two:


Housekeeping, sorta

I’ve been doing this on Twitter for a long time now. I don’t know why exactly, but I do know the full moon affects me, especially my sleep. The moon influences the tide, and humans are mostly made of water, so it must be high tide in our heads. I choose to believe it’s true. Anyway, this month’s full moon alert is animated:

That’s it for this week. Check back next Friday for more #HHOTW fun!

#HHOTW – 103

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another Hippy Highlight of the Week (#HHOTW)! I’ve already kept this going for more than 3 weeks. I think that’s some sort of personal best.

I’m already thinking of renaming this to make it “highlights”, plural. I seem to have more than one thing every week that I want to share. Sure, they aren’t all equal, but they’re still highlights of my week. That means I have to make a new graphic just add the letter “s”. I was planning on updating all my graphics anyway. I’m rambling already, let’s get to the good shit. Literally.

I wrote a piece about why I’m shitposting so much, and so often. It’s called “Shitposting through the Apocalypse“. It tries to explain why I’ve been such a prolific poster recently. I’m making at least one a day, and sometimes more.

I won’t include any additional shitpost graphics here, as there are quite a few in that piece. Just click the above image, or link, and you’re there. I hope you dig reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. And I really did enjoy writing it.

Finally, a brief word from this week’s sponsor:

Catch ya next week for more #HHOTW hilarity 😜

#HHOTW – 102

Way hey! It’s Friday, so it must be #HHOTW day! Well, I’m excited, that must count for something.

This week’s main highlight is that I finally wrote a piece updating the world on my epilepsy. I know, hold the front page, right? I have an entire sub-section here on my site about living with epilepsy, so I must be taking it somewhat seriously. Truth is, having epilepsy has changed me; redefined me. I am not the same person I was before all this bullshit started. Epilepsy has changed me in more ways than I can count. I don’t know if I am a better person, or a worse person, but I do know that I am a different person.

To read the piece, you can scroll down, as it is currently just below this post. Or you could click RIGHT HERE, or you could even click on the #EpilepsyHippy Logo below. So many choices!

Bonus content

My tiny urban garden is a wildlife wonderland. Just call me the pound shop Sir David Attenborough. Here are two short clips from just outside my back door:

Close Call in the Garden:

And this one is called Squirrel Acrobatics:

Tell me those clips aren’t highlights, I dare you! πŸ˜›

One Shitpost:

I have made dozens of graphics in the last couple of months. Here’s one from the last week about Greasy Pete Hegseth, who is currently on a tour of Asia. He’s a blithering idiot, an incompetent fool, and way out of his depth. In other words, perfect to be part of Trump’s cabinet chaos.

Housekeeping

My 20th anniversary year officially ended this month, I am now into my 21st year of being a fake online hippy.

That means I’m blowing up all the 20th anniversary signage, and I will be re-branding all my logos, and graphics into something new. Don’t ask me what yet, I have no idea.

Anyway, that’s it for this week’s #HHOTW. Until next Friday, stay cool mofos!

#HHOTW – 101

Welcome to the first proper Hippy Highlight of the Week, or as I like to call it, #HHOTW.

This week, I wrote a short piece about why I’m still on Twitter, and why you should be too. If you scroll down a bit, you will find it. Or you could just click THIS LINK, or even the Twitter Logo. Whatever’s easiest for you is cool with me.

And while I’ve got you here, this is a bonus bit of content, an advert I made a couple of months ago, that I’d neglected to publish here on my own website. It’s only 30 secs, but what a 30 secs it is! Enjoy! I will catch you next Friday for even more #HHOTW fun!
