Drug Stores in 1955: We serve lunch, can fill prescriptions, and you can buy a suit or a dress here, too.
Drug Stores in 2025: Who you like some anti-snoring strips and a bag of candy corn, in July?

It’s popular to villainize cities these days. But sit outside on a cool summer night listening to a guy sing John Prine’s “Illegal Smile” in the bar across the way as the whole bar sings along over the tidal hiss of passing traffic & the wind through the cherry trees & tell me it’s a hellscape.

You think the first time a vampire has a crucifix shoved in its face and it gets to hiss in eldritch agony while jumping out of a window back into the shadows whence it came, it thinks “shit, I’ve made it?”

OK, this guy called The Bargain Hunter. He’s just Kraven the Hunter with a vest made of coupons with lion’s mane fringe. He stalks the aisles of grocery stores hunting deals and saying things like “never buy brand-name pantry goods. You’re wasting your money.”

I’ll always drag academia for being a miserable place full of miserable people. BUT…
So thankful to have learned how to spot assumptions & knee jerk reactions that masquerade as criticism. It taught me how to smell BS. Can’t say thank you enough. Legit made my life better and me a better person.

I hate that our entire world is basically a tabloid. At least give us a real Bat Boy.

“Available wherever you get your podcasts.” OK, but what if I get my podcasts from a guy named Sergei in a back room in a pawn shop?

Open-minded people don’t go around calling themselves that. Anyone who makes being “open-minded” their personality is selling you an image and you shouldn’t listen to them. They’re dogmatic assholes in disguise.

There was that point in my life when I realized that William Shatner’s a great actor and that I would die on that hill. It’s not his fault that he came onto the scene before meme-based pop culture that lionizes people like Nick Cage (who rules). Shatner was Cage before Cage. That’s the hill.

Guys, fascists don’t have *plans*. They make things up as they go along, which often looks like a plan, or it can eventually turn into one. But Mussolini’s March on Rome was a PR stunt that accidentally worked. And right after declaring war on the US, Hitler is reputed to have asked “what now.”

1940s MOVIE: We licked ‘em good.
ME: OK, there are kids around, alright?
2000s MOVIE: They really screwed the pooch.
ME: That’s better, thank you.

Shameless self-promotion: I wrote this essay comparing Trump’s Big Lie to the post-WWI Stab-in-the-Back myth and how they both create fascist worldviews 3 years ago. More relevant (and sadly right) than it was then.

“And We Caught Them:” Comparing the Authoritarian Realities of the Stab-in-the-Back and the Big Lie
There is a saying in German: “lies have short legs”–sooner or later, the truth comes out. What it does not say, and what we have learned over the last five years, is that although…
