It's been about a year since I went down the rabbit hole of reading the works of Joseph J. Fischel.
I stand by my criticisms of his writings, and his philosophy. The reality is that, even though libertarians and leftists do occasionally find moments of agreement, our basic…

AI to dominate music?
I was just talking to someone the other day who couldn't hear the difference between a drum machine and real drums. I know lots of people who can't tell the difference between a…

There actually isn't much of a mystery why there are so many morons condemning The Whale.
The problem isn't that Brendan Fraser isn't really gay, nor morbidly obese. The problem is that the movie doesn't bend the knee to the health at every size narrative. Charlie is…

People have shown the goodness that we're capable of in the last few hours.
Sean McDermott's reaction to Damar Hamlin's injury is why McDermott should be the Bills' coach for the foreseeable future. Fuck the first seed. Of course, it'd be great for my…

Greta has been set up for failure by the illiberal left.
I welcome anyone with too much time on his or her hands to dig through my posts and verify that I'm telling the truth when I say that I've never criticized Greta Thunberg…

A few broader developments of the past year.
2022 will likely go down as a momentous year in world history. In this post, I can only scrape the surface, at best. Overall, the good outweighed the bad, though there is plenty…

Kamala thanks me for all I do..
The last time I remember giving money to a Democrat was when Amy Klobuchar ran for the Democratic nomination for President, against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, among other…

Last night I experienced racism for the first time in my life!
A girl who I’ve been involved with for a while was going back to Ithaca from seeing her family in Maryland, and she was connecting through NYC and had a very long layover. I…

I will be talking about some controversial subjects in a blunt manner.
You have been warned. I'm a male who identifies as a man. I'm a male man. I'm also the proud owner of three guns. I've been a 2A advocate for twenty years now. I used to be an…

The "crossed state lines" talking point is so dumb that it can only be sustained in an echo chamber.
Since I'm planning on crossing state lines with a gun (actually three guns) in a few days, I couldn't help thinking about how truly telling the repeated "crossed state line"…

Reading a book doesn't mean agreeing with it!
I would say that I'm pretty sure that you can get a college degree without reading a book at this point; but, that would be misleading -- I know you can. This is a bigger issue…

Norwegian hate speech laws are bonkers.
So, the Norwegian law, that was passed in 2020, which is now being used to threaten two women with three years in prison for alleged "hate speech" actually says that the penalty…

So, about Babylon.
I didn't look up any of the reviews before seeing the film. At this point, if Damien Chazelle made it, I'm gonna see it. I only looked up Rotten Tomatoes after I got home. I…

There's no mystery about any aspect of why hoards of people respond the way that they do to detransitioners.
I'm under no delusion that every person, particularly to the right of the political spectrum, has the best of intentions when it comes to detransition stories. I'm sure that a…

I believe that citizens of these united States should be allowed to have any weapon that the government can have.
To be abundantly clear about my position, just in case there's any ambiguity or confusion. I'm on the side of the people who wrote the Second Amendment, and I've read what…

Jamie Lopez has died at the age of 37 and we've gotta deal with the facts of what led to this tragedy.
Body positivity, if kept within the scope of reason, is great. I remember crushing on Keira Knightley when I was sixteen -- I still kinda do -- and thousands of people were…
