We end 2020 quietly. Nothing zany happening. Covid vaccines are going out, big line going up, small stimulus checks hitting bank accounts and nothing big. This was 2020. Most of the insanity was media hysteria to get rid of Trump. Most stress was self-imposed by state governments, bureaucrats, teachers unions and other pieces of the…

Hollywood Tax Breaks
How desperate are cities and states to spruce their economy? The main solution to the “moar jobz” problem seems to be create gambling zones. Like sin or vice taxation, the state gooses tax receipts off of the addictions and degeneracy of some of its citizens. Plus, there are jobs, jobs, jobs, which to an increasingly lumpenprole America,…
Office Culture & A Christmas Carol (1943)
Submitted by Bad Billy Pratt I’m too fucking autistic for this, I thought to myself, as I read over the strict set of rules, guidelines, and pre-cautionary measures for my school’s Secret Santa game. In Secret Santa games of old, there was a greater feeling of structurelessness- a kind of free-spirited whimsy- where you made your…
The Fifth Revolution of 2020
It is not hard to convince people we are living through a revolution. It is only hard to define how far and deep it goes. One difficulty is the fact that so many of the rights it has stripped us of are not acknowledged in the pantheon of written rights. We have lost the right…

The WASP to Med Transformation

Going To Sleep + Friday Reads
There was a tweet that posted screen-caps of tweets by lib accounts happy that they no longer had to pay attention to Trump’s twitter account for the day’s insanity. The tweets confirmed an essay we ran before the election. There is no substance to voting for Biden beyond ridding the nation of Trump and no…
