Hitting the road later this month with @cryptsofgolgotha for a west coast tour. Hoping to catch up with friends in NM, AZ, CA, and Oregon. Let me know if you’re down for a hang.

Don't sleep on Widow's Bay. The writing, the acting, the horror and humor, love it.

I often forget that BlueSky exists and then remember to check back in every three months or so. So, hello again.

Every time you give a billionaire a microphone, they use it to tell you that there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

The Bud Light commercial was giving “mayoral party in Eddington” vibes.

Especially funny bit to have football legends walk out on stage while Green Day played “American Idiot.” Should have had them spell out CTE as well, but that might have been too on the nose.

In this late capitalism, billionaire-era, it seems like the game plan is to gut every industry, leave everyone jobless, and force us all into a new era of feudalism.

From now on I’m declining social invitations like I’m a foundation who is no longer gonna fund your organization: “sorry, but this event no longer lines up with my recreational priorities. Feel free to submit an invitation in the next invitation cycle.”

Instead of writing a year-end book, music, or movie list, I think we should annually share a year-end enemies list.

You all have that one friend – be honest, it’s a guy – who very confidently gives you the wrong or vague answers to most(all?) questions and inquiries because he usually doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That is what Google AI summary is like.

Important lesson of last night's elections: progressives won across the country because they didn't water down their message and their values.

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many pregnant people in [ICE] detention,” said Tania Wolf, the Southeast advocacy manager at the National Immigration Project. interc.pt/48WWErA

A photo of a sign offering families help locating their relatives hanging outside of an immigrant detention facility in Broadview, Illinois, on Oct. 2, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "The Trump Administration Is Hiding How Many Pregnant People Are in ICE Detention," and the DEK, "The evidence indicates ICE is detaining pregnant women at alarming rates, in rapidly deteriorating conditions."

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The way folks are lifting Charlie Kirk up like he was MLK Jr. is wild. He was a transphobe and misogynistic racist who didn’t see so many as human, as deserving of love or grace, of deserving of their rights.

Commentary: For some, Latinos will never be truly American

A wrongful eviction lawsuit turned nasty after an attorney involved suggested the plaintiff and her family could be detained by ICE and deported.

Sure, America is a Christian country, it's just that the particular brand of Christianity that people practice here has a basis in genocide, lying, in theft, in oppression, in capitalism, in upholding power structures. Maybe the American brand of Christianity isn't Christianity?

Capitalism has ruined the brains of conservatives so much that they couldn’t comprehend believing in anything enough to do it for free; therefore, protesters must be paid.
