Clang! Crash! The troll parries.

“The reason you argue on principle against even things that appear to be good … isn’t even always for the current president, it’s for the next president,” says Rand Paul (R – Kentucky)” So essentially, Paul is attempting to persuade Republicans in Congress to follow the law… but only in FEAR that the NEXT (presumably […]

IG —

Instagram is horrible for artists. We pour our hearts and time into posting absolutely breathtaking content full of emotion and humanity, and the platform forces our followers to simply comment, like, and scroll on. Where’s the REAL engagement? The meaningful dialog, the long lasting conversations, the building of genuine human connection? The design perpetuates the […]

Crossmack —

I visited a friend on Youtube that I hadn’t seen in decades. He’s still doing the same thing – vlogging. He inspired me in the early 2000’s to come out of my shell with posting videos of myself. I became a vlogger for a time as well, interacting with him and the others who were […]

A Post-Money World? —

How do we portray a culture that scoffs and makes fun of “obsolete” money? Imagine a future global culture that had moved on a long time ago to a better motivation — such as mutual cooperation, to accomplish shared goals, as a hierarchy of communities that may resemble what may exist today but are restructured […]

Splatoon —

I feel like a good metaphor for right-wing mainstream political news and fact checkers is that they’re playing a giant, never ending game of Splatoon; [dis]information is the ink and consumers of media are the playing field. What a sad, sad state of affairs we’re in.

Congress —

You know what’s fucking weird? That news media essentially is giving zero (0) coverage to congress (especially Democrat congress) in their speeches with everything that’s going on. If you wanna get it straight from the horses’ mouths, just cover them. Why are we getting everything from Trump, from the bullshit outsiders, but none of the […]

Fetish —

I have sort of a fetish toward well engineered surge protector strips. Especially ones with.. Mmmmmmm…. *drool* Finding ones like that at a thrift store at a good price is like striking gold to me. I don’t CARE if I need it. I *will* need it, at some point. And I’ll be happy I got […]

Hey Congress….Do Something —

America knows exactly what you’re doing. And we don’t like it. The downfall of the United States will be remembered as completely avoidable; a sloppy re-enactment of rising Fascist nations of lore. Blood is on the hands of the currently GOP controlled Congress. They are allowing this. It can only be my assumption at this […]

Into the Earth —

Tired, stubborn old men die clinging to their own chests As if they can start their own pale, black hearts again It’s sad they can’t control how they die As they strived to control their own lives “A miserable failure”, again they said… They don’t see Beyond their own greed And so they concede Into […]

Pot, Meet Kettle —

This is just fucking hilarious. In the same breath! Such confidence in the continued ignorance of your rapidly dwindling base. Pot, meet Kettle: “The pot calling the kettle black” is a proverbial idiom that may be of Spanish (or ultimately Italian) origin, of which English versions began to appear in the first half of the […]

Montage —

You know what we need? A fantastic montage of CIVIL DEBATE by politicians. Contrast this with Trump’s continued rhetoric and attempts to erode stability Show everyone that what’s continuing to happen is NOT NORMAL Show CIVIL political debate/conversation history as a primer to return to integrity and move on from this attempted coup
