I find it very fitting that today is Halloween, the spookiest of all Western holidays co-opted from previously conquered or assimilated cultures. Today is the day we teach our children to wander around in the dark and beg strangers for the drug called sugar – which, coincidentally, seems to be a major factor in a…

So how was your weekend? Mine was filled with trial and error, frustration, and no small amount of expletives thrown about willy-nilly as I attempted to make the software known as OBS conform to my ideas about what it should or should not be able to easily do. Needless to say, computer programs have little…
Are You Saying I Can Dodge Bullets?
“A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.” -Patricia Neal This is a concept that seems to be lost on far too many people in COVID Clown World. These days, we are supposed to believe that science has conquered the unknowable, and is capable of answering all of humanity’s questions….
It’s All In Your Head
This is always the hardest part of running a blog… the introduction. Like any endeavor we choose to engage in, some days are easier than others. Some days, the words and ideas just flow through you onto the computer screen. Those days make it seem like some sort of arcane magic, where the muse takes…
The Veil Grows Thin

Behind Enemy Lines
Remember back a couple days ago – or couple weeks ago, I don’t know, all the days just bleed together anymore – when I mentioned that it seemed like something in the corporate media narrative shifted? Well, that feeling hasn’t gone away. If anything, it has gotten stronger as the campaign against sanity trudges forward….

“So what we are actually experiencing is “normal” — normal from the perspective that human beings have the innate capability of being all sorts of ugly things, particularly when gathered in crowds: tribes.” -Todd Hayen What condition is your condition in today? I ask this question to gauge the amount of manipulation that may have…
Day Zero – 20 Years Later
I don’t know about you, but I did my level best to avoid anything and everything broadcast by the corporate media yesterday. And for the most part, I was wildly successful. Instead, I spent the day absorbing as much of the 20-hour Grand Theft World anniversary livestream as my brain would tolerate. The funny thing…
Genetic Expertise
Has anyone else noticed how quiet the corporate media has been this week? Not quiet in the sense of lowered volume – that would be something just short of a genuine miracle; but quiet in that they just keep repeating the same tired talking points that long ago had all the life beaten out of…
