Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

"We do not any longer accord unchecked power to our leaders." This book is an excellent read but sadly it has has grown a little dated since
@aaronjames.bsky.social
published it in 2012. (Or maybe we just need a second edition. One that's HUUUUGE.)

They've spent years courting people whose main mode of thinking is conspiratorial, and now they're trying to openly cover up an actual, honest-to-god conspiracy by appealing to...conspiratorial thinkers. I don't hate the symmetry

Been a while since Trump has done a Watergate; he needs to get back on that horse if he's going to keep up the Watergate-a-day pace.

I sat down last week for a fantastic interview with the Lumpen Radio crew about All Trap No Bait and its myriad themes--phone addiction, poverty, the socio-economic kaleidoscope that is the modern South. If you missed it Sunday, you can give a listen here!

It always feels a little weird when AMC plays THE DIRTY DOZEN on Veteran's Day because star Lee Marvin, who saw brutal action in WWII, hated the movie and called it "Unrealistic crap." It's like my Vietnam vet friends going to similar movies just to laugh at the bullshit.

When CA launched Prop 50, it was polling at 38%. And so, we did it anyway. Winning campaigns requires that your GOALS define your actions, recognizing opinion - including who agrees to vote - is malleable. In other words, be a thermostat, not a thermometer.

Folks I made a pile of the books I'm intending to read "soon-ish" and it extends above and below this pile and I think I am in fact a little delusional. (Showing them spines-away because I don't want anyone to be offended by their exclusion or inclusion in the stack.)

The problem with scammers and loneliness these days is that everything is digital, so the scammer never gets the chance to fall in love with a plucky local librarian and change his wicked ways. And forget about the implications of not even having to buy a bunch of marching band instruments.

The funniest thing about how absolute dogshit journalists are at their job, is that when you see a chatbot regurgitate strange sounding phrases the *only way it could do so* is by having stolen them from somewhere. Searching for those weird phrases, yields the source the chatbot stole.

Someone mentioned the sheer Kubrickian malevolence of many images in the Trump canon, e.g. the "Congrats everyone! Here is a buffet of Big Macs" pic. And it looks like we have another entry. (Thanks,

It has come to my attention that, if I put the teeniest tiniest bit of effort into improving my appearance and attire at work, people pay more attention to my suggestions. It gives me no pleasure to report this.
