  • The Loneliness Epidemic

    I was listening to a podcast of Dr. Phil on Dave Rubin’s show while I was shopping earlier. If you follow Dave, you know that he’s in the middle of his “Off the Grid August”, but he pre-records segments for his team to air. Dr. Phil was talking about the loneliness epidemic. He basically said,…

  • Listen to the Ground

    Night Fever by The Bee Gees has been in my playlist for the last couple of weeks. I am still a Ride or Die Goth guy and More Punk Rock Than Thou, and am going to pretend there is no contradiction between these facts and The Bee Gees, dig? The first verse of Night Fever…

  • Warrior Princess Dream Girl

    What the hell was the guy thinking running off? If I were 20 years younger and that were my first date, I’d be considering a proposing, right there in the coffee shop. Assuming I could refrain from swooning long enough to get the words out. Guys, if a woman shows up armed, armored and ready…

  • They Might Be Tubthumping

    Completely by accident, I came across a video of They Might Be Giants covering Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping, accompanied by The AV Club Chorus. I don’t know which AV Club the Chorus came from, or if they’re a band in their own right. I could do a web search, but my intention here is to share the…

  • A Few Important Distinctions

If you’re not making the distinction between peaceful & violent, you’re dishonest. I’m seeing a lot of dishonesty about what’s going on with ICE & rioting, which is weird….

  • Reviewing Obama’s Immigration Policy

    It wouldn’t take many alterations for Trump’s illegal immigration policy to mirror Obama’s. It’s mostly a matter of presentation that is creating rioting in the streets. And possibly the instigators. Focus on closing the border and removing criminal illegals.

  • Illegal Entry is a Criminal Offense. No, Really.

    Hey! Have you heard that crossing the border outside of a point of entry is a civil offense, akin to jay walking? If you have, you were lied to. This lie is being spread all over TikTok, yet again. You can make an argument that it should be a civil offense. That’s fine. I’m all…

  • An Open Mind

    “A mind is like a parachute; it doesn’t work unless it’s open.” I’m sure you’ve heard that, and yes, it’s true, in a limited sort of way. A parachute has lines that do more than just keep the parachute attached to the skydiver. The lines keep the parachute from opening too far. They help it…
