I love new technology. I’m too poor to engage with most of it until it’s old news and then some, but I still love reading about it. What fascinates me most is technology that interfaces with us directly—prosthetic limbs, mind-brain interlinks, and us interfacing with virtual worlds (whether it be directly with VR headsets, or […]

Thoughts – Bloom Into You
Historically, I’ve never been a manga guy at all. In fact, until this manga I’ve only ever read the Hellsing manga—and that was back in middle school. It’s not that I don’t like the genre; I just couldn’t afford it, and I never really got into reading PDFs on my computer (the notion of putting […]
Fuck Twitter
And fuck the rebranding attempt. I’m a manchild and even I realize when something is too far. You wouldn’t even see ‘X.com’ in a schlocky movie like Ultraviolet. Anyway. While I’m shouting at clouds, fuck that detritus of a website. The absolute worst of social media’s impact on humanity, condensed into a comfortable, what? 280 […]
An Ever-Growing Tide of Divisiveness
While reading the news today, I came across an article about a literary magazine that pulled an essay from a UK-born Israeli woman that was chiefly about her experience in and perspective on the latest Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The essay’s contents are, as far as I can tell, thoroughly reasoned from any similarly reasoned perspective. In […]
Chicken Gumbo (Simple)
Let me first state that I’m a gumbo anarchist. For example, my favorite type of gumbo is turkey and fresh chicken sausage, and I don’t use filé powder. As long as it has a non-white roux base, includes vegetables and meat (or a vegetarian analogue), and is thickened with either okra or filé powder, it’s […]
Thoughts – Democracy Awakening
I obsess over politics. This isn’t a humblebrag; I’m an election junkie. My Dad and I bond over discussions about elections and law more than anything else. My eyes grow large at the sight of new data on RealClearPolitics.com, though I understand that it’s educated guessing at best. I have to put a Post-It note […]
Looking to 2024
It’s the final week of the year, and what a year it’s been! We started off strong, continued rising trends from previous years, saw the true strength of a nation, affirmed our long-term commitment to our allies and—oh, and our other allies too. No matter what! Let me immediately say that this is written to […]
Spicy Herb Pearled Couscous
Add all ingredients to rice cooker and activate. Remove from heat source when complete. If using a saucepan on stovetop, bring mixture to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer. Leave covered for 20-30 minutes (based on your firmness preference.)
Holiday Thankfulness
It’s the most wonderful time of year, as told to us by innumerable songs, movies and decorations celebrating the season. Whether you deck the halls with boughs of holly, candelit menorahs, vibrant kinara, or other signs of your chosen holiday, it’s all an acknowledgment that this time of year is something special. Even if you […]
Baldur’s Gate 3 Is A Game
Early August, Baldur’s Gate 3 released and it felt like the corner of the gaming world dedicated to anything that involves swords, sorcery and the ability to make your own character erupted. Even degenerate skillers in the far corners of Old School RuneScape were gushing about this immaculate gift from the spirit of RPGs themselves. […]
