I don’t even have to prove my own point. People keep doing it for me.

So now that I’ve been told that I am a fascist, I want to fully commit to the role, but I’m guessing that it maybe involves more than making a single out of context comment on Bluesky? If so, is there a book I need to buy, or do I start with burning the ones I already own? Is there a cheat code?

The other thing I’ve learned this hour: the easiest table to make is the one you decide to omit.

Thanks to everyone reaching out today for their well-wishes about my relative happiness on this site. It’s good to know that so many people care!

Lots of exploding happening in my mentions right now. Have fun, guys, I have some APA 7th edition-compliant tables to make.

This is the Pope we need.

Democrats: Read this. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

When you see deportation forces, follow them, alert everyone you know, honk your horns, yell “ICE” & “Migra” (mee-gra). When they take over an apt building again, neighbors get up, alert, surround them w/so many eyes they can’t move. White Americans up front. 1/

I can’t help but think of all of those “energy independence” commercials here in CA that try to gaslight us into wanting more refineries. This refinery has caught fire several times, by the way. It’s practically an oil volcano at this point.

Adding this to my reading list. Kid A is the closest thing my generation has to a Sergeant Pepper.

PSA for all of you who, like me, live in the godless hellscape that is California

I agree with this, though I have a lot of thoughts about the definition of giftedness. When I was a kid I wasn’t invited to join the gifted program because my grades weren’t good enough, even though my teachers swore I was “smart enough.” Ultimately it was because I was “lazy,” not bored and ADHD

Just sent this to some of the dumbfuck country fried trolls from my mom’s home county in Alabama. I know it won’t do anything but I enjoy doing what I can to twist their Army Depot downstream, chemical waste-saturated brains into knots

I keep saying this but our timeline is a crumpled up idea on the Sliders writing room floor

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

It’s a shame Jane Goodall has to trend with Stephen Miller, but maybe it’s a good reminder that there are chimpanzees out there with more love and humanity in their hearts than that wretched anal wart could ever hold or produce. R.I.P. good doctor. Thank you for showing us how we’re all connected

The way Pete and Trump are looking at each other here is setting off my bidar

If you’re home today and watching Netflix, I’d suggest skipping Black Rabbit and going straight to Ice Road: Vengeance. Black Rabbit’s plot could have been written by AI. It’s a worse version of the 1986 bomb Wise Guys. But with Ice Road you’re getting Liam Neeson in a Top Gear special. Awesome!

Saying that this is the #trumpshutdown is inaccurate. It’s the #secondtrumpshutdown Or #TrumpShutdownII if you want to give it a 1939 vibe

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

The shutdown should be the start. We’re already 10% of the way to a general strike.

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

Look, I know I’m half-Appalachian Alabaman, so I come from a long line of honor culture ancestors, but I’m watching Black Rabbit and I’m mystified at the number of chances Vince has had to Red Wedding the three small timers who keep assaulting him and threatening his family.

Update: shipping delayed due to a postal strike in Canada. Maybe I can ship them down to an all inclusive resort in Belize or something

“A ship a day” There’s nothing “aesthetic” about a Liberty Ship. My grandpa served on one, the USS Mink. It transported oil, gas, and lubricant around the Pacific during WWII. And since they all looked exactly alike Japanese pilots had no problems targeting them.

One of the weird things about living in California today is waking up, putting on my reading glasses, picking up my phone, and reading about some latest Trump extinction level bullshit before my coffee has had a chance to break the blood brain barrier

I’m not interested in watching the Super Bowl halftime show. I’m also not interested in hearing about or from people who are not interested in watching the Super Bowl halftime show. Two lacks of interest do not make an interest.

If I choose to spend it talking to hot tub salesmen and watching YouTube reviews of Atari 2600 home brew games then that’s my business damnit

I mean, I *could* answer emails on the weekend. But it’s *the weekend.* So *no.*

the distinction between the Western RPG and the Japanese RPG is that JRPGs have much more of an emphasis on attacking and dethroning God

The Oval Office is now a QVC set

I had to have a couple of UK-made electrical components that I ordered shipped to my brother in law in Canada. Not sure if it was because of tariffs or general American assholery but either way this is certifiably Trump’s Fault.

Three takeaways from today’s game: 1. The Lions are very good. 2. The Browns are not. 3. Myles Garrett, like Joe Thomas, is going to ride a garbage team to the HOF

It seems like every year there is a new Sunday Ticket setup, but sticking them all on YouTube this season is thus far the easiest and least needlessly stupid iteration

One thing I’m really starting to appreciate about soccer: you don’t have penalties every fifteen seconds.

Somehow getting ready to watch the Browns this morning is literally and exponentially less depressing than watching any kind of news or reading any kind of social media.

More I hope. I was at the big one in DC just before W’s ultimatum expired. A fat lot of good that did. So… yeah. We need A LOT more. Now’s the time to show up.

I probably watch one, maybe two college football games a year. Looks like picking Oregon/Penn State was the right call

Along with RFK Jr and Looziana John this guy belongs in the triumpherate of Kennedys That No One Needs

Cognitive dissonance is not a personal shortcoming… we all suffer from it. For instance, part of my brain is cooking up escape routes for when nationwide martial law is declared, and another part is looking forward to getting the PacMan Atari 2600+ console I ordered today

Between this and the massive federal probe into the CSU system, it feels like the bad times for me and my circle are getting closer.

AMERICA: Release the Epstein files! TRUMP: What? AMERICA: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! TRUMP: Say it? AMERICA: 😠 TRUMP: Oh, the Earhart files!

The Daily Caller, a Right-leaning outlet, published a write-up urging “disproportionate, violent action” against Democrats. That’s a direct threat, and not by chance. dailycaller.com/2025/09/26/i...

lol j/k I fucking hate these guys and this is my safe space to shout that from the virtual rooftops

I’ll probably be posting less on here, both b/c “book promotion” is on the horizon and, more importantly, my institution was targeted by the feds for some nonsense. I’d like to think my WWII book can cut through the noise and elevate the virtues of civic pride to all, but cults are tough to crack

Latest book draft has been sent to the publisher. Seems like a good night to watch One Battle After Another and drink an expensive Pinot

It would be badass to have a surfer President

You can build your own vanity with a circular saw, an impact driver, and a Kreg jig. And also Fuck Donald Trump
