That all makes sense. Yes, you’re a good writer. Here, only Jake invokes more esoteric vocab and poetic-licensed creativity. Enco kinda does that too, but I don’t have the time to look up a lot of his historic references. History was my worst percentile score in high school, along with other Humanities. (Just IMO; I try not to declare truths for…[Read more]

Nothing interesting about it, Pope.I really hope that view prevails, someday after Trump/MAGAism.
In my head I’ve started trying to compare Trumpism with McCarthyism. They’re both historically dark eras for USA, with some kind of group human nature built in that I want to learn about. Comparable to cults, in fact. (Hmm, now I…[Read more]

Unless, of course, they get out of their mutual admiration echo chamber and listen to the electorate. And it’s not just the age of its elderly leadership that’s the problem, though its part of it. Peter Zeihan is typically worth a listen and this is one of his better recent explications.

I’m a rock and roller and like electric guitars and loudness. In a past life, I was a particular kind of photographer of women.
