Writer at "In Case You Didn't Already Know"

I write about stuff. History, politics, sports, and whatever else crosses my mind. Some of it’s insightful. Some of it’s insufferable. None of it is solicited.

The interactive story pilot was simple but incredibly unique and a fun experience. Plus, how cool that readers get to make decisions that will determine the entire plot?!
📚🪐I'm not great at promoting myself but here goes:

I have worked so hard on End of the World Influencer (even released an interactive pilot), and the overall reader experience. It would mean a lot to me if you'd subscribe and share.

Huge thanks to Canada for not tolerating Uncle Sam’s weirdo behavior.

Living in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this trade war with our neighbors just north is equal parts annoying and hilarious. I’m good—I planned for this. But the MAGA crowd? They're CRASHING tf out. And I’m enjoying every second.

“If you don’t like it, then move!”

I used to laugh.

But now it sounds less like an argument, and more like an offer.

Some people have this idea in their head that strict voting laws are to maintain electoral integrity, which couldn't be further from the truth.

As someone who also watches First Take religiously, I can’t say that he’s the way back to the White House… but I CAN say, he might ACTUALLY be what the Deme need. He’d do what Newsom THINKS he’s doing.

He’s got my vote, idc, the bar is through the floor.

@aoc.bsky.social Michigans 1st district held a town hall WITHOUT Bergman (who is in district today but is not meeting voters). @maddow.msnbc.com showed a clip of the town hall in Escanaba MI last night. We’d love to have you here.
@governorwalz.mn.gov Care to come to Michigan's 1st district? I've got thousands of people all across the political spectrum who'd love to hear from... literally anyone who will listen. Literally.
#TownHall #RepublicanCowards
@adamkinzinger.bsky.social I thought you may find this interesting.

Jack Bergman from Michigan's 1st district hasn't had a town hall since 2017 so the people in that district are organizing a town hall on their own.

Your White Christian Nationalism ain't SHIT to me, bitch.

My mom’s side is Mormon, my dad’s side is devout Catholic. Together, they raised an agnostic, an atheist, a Buddhist, and a crackhead—I can quote scripture AND science, give an intervention, or just beat your ass. Make smart choices with me.
