Only one week until the Big Muddy Monster Festival! There will be vendors, food, guest speakers, and the debut of director Joe Tury's new film The Pond Creek Monster: Bigfoot and High Strangeness in Illinois. www.bigmuddymonsterfestival.com

Just saw the new horror film, 'Passenger'. I went in not knowing much about it. Surprisingly good. The writers certainly did their homework regarding the supernatural folklore of highways and travelers, specifically the phantom hitchhiker phenomena. They even included a bit of hobo lore.

Just one month until the Big Muddy Monster Festival in Murphysboro, IL. As usual, there will be vendors, speakers, and also the premiere of the new film, The Pond Creek Monster. And of course our book, The Big Muddy Monster: Legends, Sightings, & Other Strange Encounters, will be for sale too.

Massive hail today. Golf ball sized hail. I always believe that when life serves you lemons, make lemonade. So I threw it in a glass and made a whiskey Manhattan.

The United States isn't even a real country anymore. It's basically just a GoFundMe for Billionaires.

I find it hilarious that MAGA thinks my generation (Gen X) that grew up with Rage Against the Machine, Slayer, Nine Inch Nails, The Dead Kennedy's, Ministry, and Nirvana would accept facisim without a fight.

In 1938, before WWII, the Germans had 50,000 people in concentration camps. CBS news reports the US immigration and customs enforcement agency has 73,000 people in concentration camps as of January 16, 2026.

RIP Erich Von Daeniken. Whether you believe his theories or not, he certainly changed the field of UFOlogy and challenged mainstream history by asking interesting (if unpopular) questions. www.reuters.com/technology/s...?

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet... It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

See you there.
