Musk owns Twitter now. It is his baby. Maybe more like a step-child, but he molds it now. There have been changes. It is exciting to consider what comes next. It’s refreshing in comparison to what has felt like a static social media landscape. The fun comparison is to Facebook, which plods along and one…

Oil in Your Lamp to Keep Your Literary Flame Burning
As a Chinese ‘paper American’ born in exile in America, unable to square the Chinese identity of my fathers with the American identity of my passport, I view matters of immigration in the West with a perspective different from those of natives. There are things about America in its current state that I feel more…
Winners, Losers and Links
Winners BAP – Coordinated attacks on BAP from lame Con Inc note takers. Still, they look like catty bitches envious of his influence. Very obvious op for some near future pay-off. They don’t really engage with him still and cannot admit that they do not name (forget fight) the ideology and power animating the left….
A Real Novel: Nutcrankr
In my last review of alt lit from the anon right world, I lamented that there seemed to be a word count cap to creations. No one was putting out a full, unified novel. Out just before the holidays in ‘22, Dan Baltic answered with Nutcrankr. It is a fun read and worth a purchase….

A Thrust on Art and War
By Charleston Nabob I do not like cinema. “But, Nabob, you write movie reviews??” Yes, I do write movie reviews, because movies are the most popular medium of conveying our manufactured culture. Other than that, I loathe them. They cannot reach the heights of poetry, architecture, et cetera. But, I must review. Here, I will…
Harpers and LARPers: The decline of civil discourse and the death of nuance
By Stephen G. Adubato Ever since the midterm elections of November 2022, it’s become blatantly clear to me that the reigning monarch of the entertainment industry was onto something when she claimed that “America has a problem,” but perhaps not for the reason Beyonce thinks. America seems to be devolving into a nation of people…

Winners Wall Street – Powell raised rates but only 25 bps and sounded dovish during his speech. Ukraine’s Leadership Circle – Tanks coming soon. Immediately the talk shifted to fighter jets. Left Twitter – With right wing Twitter complaining about the site, the shift first experienced when Elon closed the sale is over & rolled…
