March 2nd, 2021 *Sigh* The best thing we can do is learn something, right? Generally, on the internet, the people I hear complain about something the loudest are the exact same people who say everyone else complains too much and are too easily offended. The Potato Head Scandal is the closest to actual satire ofContinue reading “Po-Tay-Toh, Po-Tah-Toh”

The Enemy of my Enemy is Me
February 1st, 2021 “To fight the empire is to be infected by its derangement . . . Whoever defeats part of the empire becomes the empire; it proliferates like a virus . . . Thereby it becomes its enemies.” – Phillip K. Dick I didn’t know how it phrase it as eloquently as Dick, butContinue reading “The Enemy of my Enemy is Me”
Please Help Save The World With Me
January 28th, 2021 Want to hear my conspiracy? I just finished doing a read-through of The Invisibles, Grant Morrison’s hugely-influential, extremely 90’s comic book series about a secret war between those who fight for freedom and those who fight for control; for truth and for lies; for subjective good and for subjective evil. It operatesContinue reading “Please Help Save The World With Me”
A More Perfect Union
January 20th, 2021 It was pointed out to me today that the Constitution starts with the promise of a “more perfect union” — the key word not being “perfect,” but “more.” It immediately states that there is nothing perfect about us or this country, and that it could be and will be better perpetually. ItContinue reading “A More Perfect Union”
No Justice, No Peace
January 18th, 2021 Today is a wonderful day to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Do you want to know what’s not a great way to celebrate him, though? Cherry-picking one of his quotes about “peace” or “unity” and calling it a day. If you’re just a regular ol’ white person reading this, did you knowContinue reading “No Justice, No Peace”
Told Ya
January 14th, 2021 Imagine that you’re at a restaurant with your family. A few tables down sits a man, and he is drunk. Initially, he’s just rambling incoherently and maybe using language and slurs that make your family uncomfortable. Eventually, though, he starts to say undeniably threatening remarks. You alert some of the staff andContinue reading “Told Ya”
Truth & Consequence
January 9th, 2021 Apparently, some jerk got kicked off Twitter forever and people think it’s an example of silencing freedom of speech. In fact, there are a lot of people who think violating social media platforms’ rules and having their posts or access adjusted or removed accordingly is also that, apparently forgetting that when theyContinue reading “Truth & Consequence”
Land of the
January 6th, 2021 I’ve been real good at staying apolitical as of late, but I feel like I’ve lost a little of my punk rock attitude and we’ve all been getting along too well. So let’s get to it, friends! What is happening in Washington right now is just about as anti-American and anti-democratic (asContinue reading “Land of the”
2020: A Lesson, A Curriculum, An Education
December 31st, 2020 It is fair to say that this year sucked. It is damn fair. And it is a truth that we will have wasted our time if we decide to learn nothing from it. So, with that in mind, here is some of what I learned. – I learned not only is tomorrowContinue reading “2020: A Lesson, A Curriculum, An Education”
America Hearts Criminals
December 18th, 2020 America loves criminals — as long as they have the right color skin and their subjective ideals align. This post has been a long time coming, but better late than never. I’ve heard, too many times, this era being compared to prohibition. Besides being an absolutely baseless and embarrassing comparison, it remindedContinue reading “America Hearts Criminals”
