I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

When your entire attack line is garbage and you thought you were being clever, you’re a Schmitt-head.

I’m throwing this out there, it would not surprise me one bit if AI is the reason for Senator Schmitt’s flubbing of the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. He really thought he did something special.

I used to track the words I wrote every day, but over the past few months it feels like an unnecessary step that only added guilt to my writing process when I didn’t hit the goals I set.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

I’d like to draw your attention to the new Mary Wallopers album “Paddywhackery,” it’s very good. My favorite tracks are “The Fly,” “The Big Mixer,” “Landlords Demise,” and “Smuggling the Tin.”

A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share.

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

This was from 2011-2015. Me and the other 12 edgers in my town aged from 16-30 with a few other punks and skaters from the other rural cities made up the Southern Utah Hardcore (SUHC) scene and booked shows either at Lyle’s basement or at a local comedy club called Off The Cuff( 2/?)

I’ve listened to “Through Being Cool,” by Saves all the way through three times this week. It’s the first time I’ve revisited the album since my senior year of high school. I grew up in Cedar City, Utah, a small town ~40 minutes outside of St. George/Zion. From 16-20 I was Straight Edge (1/?)

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 765: Side quests in a story can sometimes take energy away from the main plot. That isn't to say never use them: but ask yourself; where's this leading? What is it doing to help my story along? Does it really belong here, or is it a different, independent story?

Everytime I Die was an important band to me growing up and Andy Williams guitar playing informed a lot of that. During the pandemic, indie wrestling filled up a lot of my time. RIP Andy Williams, the Butcher and the Blade was one of the coolest gimmicks of all time.
