I’ve basically been on a news junkie bender for the past…since the June 27th debate last year. Holy fuck man I actually think I have more grey in my beard since a year ago. As an aside, I hate that my beard’s what’s first getting grey. If it was my hair? Sure, that looks cool. […]

I am Angry About Missiles
President Trump’s Executive Order to begin construction of the ‘American Iron Dome’ There’s about a hundred other issues that have equal, if not greater importance to the current state of our nation than this. The federal grants freeze, the attack on birthright citizenship, you name it. I’m not exactly sure what neuron of mine snapped […]
Inauguration
(Transcribed and edited from raw audio rambling. Listen here if you really have nothing better to do.) Where to start? So I knew when the inauguration was, and that I would have feelings about it. I told myself in the lead up to it happening that I would practice what I’m preaching and give the […]

In the Year 2025
As it turns out, a lot of my natural impetus to write in my blog was fueled by unemployment. Or rather, the existential dread of living in a currency-based society without means to acquire said currency. Things have been more or less good, that mythical state of being where life passes without much notice, and […]
1933
“We have officially entered into the ‘fever dream’ portion of the campaign.” Jon Stewart managed to sum up the last two weeks in so few words at the beginning of his monologue at The Daily Show, but it’s hard to accept that this isn’t a dream. It’s hard to accept that Trump not only won, […]

Fates Warning is what I like in Progressive Metal down to a tee. Hard riffs, orchestrated loudness, and lyrics as thoughtful as they are, frankly, badass. Don’t ask me to name a favorite between them and Queensryche. Perfect Symmetry versus Operation: Mindcrime is an impossible choice. But when it comes to songs? Maybe Queensryche’s ‘I […]
Supreme Court Reform – Reappointments
One of the hottest governmental topics right now is Supreme Court reform. The Biden administration has made it an official point of focus in its final months, a sort of rubber stamp to the years of discussion happening in more progressive circles—itself a response to how the previous three appointments to the heads of the […]
This Week In Politics
No this isn’t the start of a newsletter or anything. I just am sitting here watching the last night of the Republican National Convention, where in a 20 minute stretch there was a sellout preacher comparing Donald Trump to a messiah, followed by a video of Donald Trump dancing set to the Village People’s ‘YMCA,’ […]
Thoughts – Carole and Tuesday
This one’s been on my list since it came out. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, set in the Cowboy Bebop universe and yet fully distinct and not a sequel or derivative work? In the anime world, fewer things can get me more excited. Ultimately it took me picking it on a whim to start while traveling […]
