I wrote about last night's name removal at the KC. And I got to work in some Elvis Costello. My latest Substack (please read, like, share). open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

"Scaffolding" is gonna be one of the top words of '26.

After delays from rain and lightning, the workers are back at the KC to take trump's name off ithe building. And there's a rainbow nearby.

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

The new EWF doc is awesome. I checked it out for @culturesonar.bsky.social . www.culturesonar.com/earth-wind-f...

It’s taking too long to count the votes in an election? How long has it taken to release the Epstein files?

I just bought this Star Trek birdfeeder. These days, you take your joy where you can find it. "Captain, tufted titmouse approaching at warp speed..."

Talked to a friend last night who works for the Feds. Asked her how bad DOGE/Elon hit her division. It wasn't bad, but it was bad enough. We agreed that, if trump keeps that UFC ring up, we should put Elon in there and allow folks to pay $5 to beat the sh*t out of him.

Scott Pelley was fired. Bari Weiss and Co are day by day killing a great journalism institution. For what? To appease a man who despises journalism, free speech, democracy and American values. Infuriating.

Before polling or pundits, it's culture that shows what's really happening with political power. For trump, who lives and breathes this stuff, it's not good news. My latest Substack (please read, like, share). open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

I will take a 10 ounce human heart and a 3 pound human brain over a 100,000 square foot data center any day of the week.

We're not getting any younger -- and neither are they. I have some thoughts about aging rock stars. My latest for CultureSonar. www.culturesonar.com/we-need-to-t...

Catching up on clips from "Colbert" last night. trump's gloating won't diminish the absolute joy, love, and respect the show generated -- and it just makes him look even smaller (if that's possible). On some deep, howling level, he knows it. F**k trump. Godspeed, Stephen. youtu.be/zG0HFw0edXY?...

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. To counter Trump’s culture wars and fake populism, progressives must mount a real battle against economic elites who have rigged the game — and shafted millions of working class people.

For as much hype as there is around AI, there are real signs that it's flailing. I bring receipts in my latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

With reporting that trump says he may be related to King Charles, what's the over/under on him demanding Charles give him a crown?

I wrote about one of my all-time favorite tracks for CultureSonar. www.culturesonar.com/the-epic-tra...

I keep thinking of that bit in "Goodfellas" where Ray Liotta (RIP) notes that when the wiseguys come for you, you never know it. This whole WHCD is just Butler 2.0.

The Sunday Shows oughta be hilarious tomorrow. Maxipads for everyone!

This whole "shooting" attempt at the WHCD has the same desperate energy as Butler. He wants to look like a martyr. And he wants to run away from criticism.

I just had the chance to talk about my "other" life as a psychic with podcaster James Lott, Jr. We discussed how it works (and doesn't), how to avoid scams, and a lot more. So much fun! youtu.be/XA3Ng476XTQ?...

Re-upping this post I wrote from last year, because I had another ridiculous run-in in re: AI, where clients think it'll let them off for cheap....but discover it brings no authenticity, humanity, or originality to their brand. Aargh. #writer #content #AI www.culturesonar.com/star-trek-ze...

Hey, @fidgit.bsky.social -- did you know there's a new Bravo series "The Real Housewives of RI"?! Are you in it? Is Maris? Asking for a friend...(!)

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Melania's presser recalls the documented time she and DJT were aboard the "Lolita Express" and trump emerged from the bedroom telling all on board what a "hot POA" she was. The thought of that creature on top makes my ladybits retreat inside. She deserves allllll the humiliation.

Allz I can say to those who think Melania is such a 'classy" FLOTUS, Jackie never had to do a presser saying she didn't party with convicted sex offenders.

We can’t unring the bell of an American president threatening to do genocide

When IT happens, we’ll celebrate like the whole galaxy at the end of Return of the Jedi.

Once a month, I make/deliver a lasagna as a volunteer for LasagnaLove. It goes to anyone who needs it -- food insecurity, caregiver, you name it. I have one in the oven now for someone who just wrote "overwhelmed" in his request. I hear ya, son -- hot pasta to the rescue. #community

Once his steady diet of Big Macs, fish sandwiches, and fries takes him out, McDonald's will get a brand boost akin to that of Lourdes. It will be the answer to a global prayer.

If you look back at Trumps first 15 months, it’s easy to see why he has spent most of his life either in bankruptcy court or begging banks for money. This time he is bankrupting a country.

Over March 2-3 this week, we'll see a somewhat rare Blood Moon eclipse. Among the many omens it brings is "death of a leader." A girl can hope...

trump's unauthorized war on Iran (and distraction from Epstein) makes it clear what his kink is: destroying things, whether its an economy or a defenseless person. My latest Substack. open.substack.com/pub/groganc/...

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

"Pam Bondi and Kash Patel lied under oath." Rep. Ted Lieu 19 Feb. 2026

My lovely neighbors are leaving, moving to Spain, where they have family. They're tired of the fear and madness directed at family members here. A 2nd child is on the way, and she said they crave peace. I'll miss them, but can't blame them. America is a cruel embarrassment now.
