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…

Who Is Writing This Garbage Anyway? It’s So Predictable.
Well, we did it, my friends! We survived another week of COVID Clown World – another seven days of the most absurd reality any human could possibly imagine. It seems like there should be a point of diminishing returns, doesn’t it? Like there should come a time where the current level of insanity is not…
Cancel My Subscription To The Referendum
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…
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…
33 Pieces Of Flair
“In order to have a plot, you have to have a conflict, something bad has to happen.” -Mike Judge I know I’m not the first person to make this observation, but the question has crossed my mind about whether or not Mike Judge is some sort of modern day prophet. Either he has been acutely…
It’s Almost Like They Want To Make A Prison Planet
Has it really been two whole days since the last post already? I don’t know about you, but it feels to me like the pace of events has been picking up over the last several weeks. While the corporate media would rather have you focus on which celebrity is now staring down the barrel of…
Your Pandora Papers, Please!
Monday morning has already brought us one hefty surprise this week. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, keep reading. It should become obvious shortly. Sorry, there’s no witty anecdotes or quasi-formed memories to relay today. But apparently people are freaking out because Facebook is down right now. If you strain your ears, you just…
Dancing In The Eye Of The Storm
My apologies for publishing late today, if that happens. As has become usual for Tuesday nights, we had an amazing conversation going in the Grand Theft World town hall, and that conversation found it’s way into the morning hours before any of us really realized it. Needless to say, I’m a little behind schedule today….
Sleepwalking Into A Police State
In my opinion, the United States has been fulfilling the title of today’s post since at least the 2000 Presidential selection, and probably even earlier than that. You remember that, right? It was the first time in my lifetime that the people were demonstrably removed from the selection process so the correct puppet could be…
Flipping Switches & Punching Buttons
I have to admit, there are days when I wake up and think to myself “what if there’s nothing to write about today?” Or “what am I gonna do if there’s nothing interesting in the news?” That’s usually about the time I remember that we live in COVID Clown World, and there’s never a shortage…
