Heathen Metalhead, Bibliophile, disillusioned Iraq Vet, Third-Wave Feminist, Humanist, Environmentalist, and a once optimistic Berniecrat who's quickly slipping into misanthropy and nihilism.
After a 10-year break from social media, I tried again, only to be completely underwhelmed. It's as banal, narcissistic, and pointless as ever. Good luck to all. I'll be in the trenches, phoneless.

My wife and I finished “The Pitt” last night. The best TV I’ve seen in a good long while with so much forgettable crap out these days.

Happy 55th Earth Day, polluters! +1.5 C is imminent. +3 C highly probable. 55 years of ever-dire warnings unheeded. Humanity gets what it deserves.

Cracking this open. “The degree of conflict and animosity around politics really has become much worse over the last two decades. But the people haven’t changed. Our minds haven’t changed. What has changed, as I argue in the final chapter, is our political environment.” Thank you public library.

Great book on how Christians went crazy. Your magical thinking won’t save you, but the grifters will keep grifting the jelly-brained morons.

Knocked out this quick, informative read this morning. Remember the "Panama Papers" of 2016, the "Paradise Papers" of 2017, and the "Pandora Papers" of 2021, goldfish?

I'd just like to say to all the "libs" whining and complaining about Klein & Thompson's "Abundance" book, you all need to do some serious, honest introspection. Almost all of "the Left's" problems fix solely on the DNC (democrats.org/leadership-d...) and its poor decisions over the past 50 years.
