The Fascist Right Plays Dirty and They Absolutely Want to Silence Decent People Forever 02.12.2025

Hello Friends, I think the main thing that makes me irritated right now is when people try to insist that we need to “remain friends” with verifiably awful people. The standard setting of the media is that those of us who object to having racists call our children indefensible slurs is that we shouldn’t “end relationships over politics.” Seriously, they are still saying that even now. I’ve heard t...

Skiing and Laughing in the Deep, Dark, Woods With Daddy and the Dog 01.12.2025

Sunday was piano day for my eldest, so I asked my youngest if she wanted to go skiing. We’d had the first real snowfall of the winter overnight, and I’d spent the morning shoveling the sidewalks and driveway. “Want to go?” “Sure,” she said, much to my pleasant surprise. But then a kind of chaos ensued. It’s always challenging to do something for the first time in a season. It’s bad enough for one...

Sexual Frustration Is at the Root of the Political Right 01.12.2025

If you’ve spent the last few years trying to figure out what motivates conservatives, I have two words for you: sexual frustration. It’s obvious in everything from their unfounded anger to the contorted expressions on their faces. These people are backed up and ready to explode, and they’ve deluded themselves into thinking it’s somehow our fault. The right is a seething mass of trembling, pathetic...

My Readers Are the Most Awesome People in the Whole World! 29.11.2025

Hello Friends! I wrote a note expressing my gratitude to the Substack community, and it was really gratifying to read all your comments on Thanksgiving and the days that followed. For the most part, I stayed off my phone on Thursday. But I did occasionally jump on and scroll through just to make sure that nothing momentous had happened that needed to be addressed. Everything is relative these days...

How Nostalgia Influences Our Perception of Literature 28.11.2025

At my daughter’s basketball practice, I had an enlightening chat with one of the other coaches. He mentioned that he was closing in on his 40th birthday. I realized that put him 10 years behind me. It was a startling thought, and I began to wonder what films and other stories had made an impact on him. “You were born in 1986,” I said. Then I thought about it and added, “Well that means you missed...

Thanksgiving Is a Day for Turkey and Family and Maybe Sledding if You're Lucky 27.11.2025

I remember celebrating Thanksgiving when I moved to Peru to get away from my toxic American life. Most days, I wandered the streets in the pair of pants I bought from the army surplus store for $5. Those pants are sitting in a box somewhere. Naturally, Thanksgiving isn’t a Peruvian holiday, but every year somebody would say, “Hey! Thanksgiving right! Happy Thanksgiving!” Then I found that somebody...

White Supremacy Breaks You Down With Injustice, Powerlessness, and Self-Loathing 25.11.2025

White supremacy teaches children to hate. It teaches children to be resentful. It is an ideology of violence and torture. White supremacy teaches young boys to see all other human beings as objects. It encourages sexual violence. White supremacy is rape culture, it is the quest for domination. These concepts were forced upon me when I was growing up. They were served to me in steaming bowls on a p...

The Daily Whatever Show, Nov 21: Fucked Up Friday with Walter Rhein 24.11.2025

Hey Everyone! It’s been a busy weekend. My kids are off for Thanksgiving, so this is going to be half a work week. I plan to work in the morning before they wake up and then spend the afternoons with them. They’re teens, so they actually need the time to sleep. My kids are involved in all sorts of activities, so I don’t rush to wake them up on the weekends. I was kind of crashed out myself over th...

The Most Dangerous Men Are the Pathetic Little Weakling Conservatives You Barely Notice 24.11.2025

We can’t afford to overlook the most dangerous form of Republican predator. These aren’t the gigantic dudes who overcompensate by cosplaying soldier.

Men like that are all bluster and no bite. Sponsor me for $5 a month ❤️ Sponsor me for $4 a...

Instead of Prayer in School, Let’s Discuss Teaching Evolution in Church 22.11.2025

The mainstream media is often criticized for failing to present both sides of an issue. In order for individuals to make educated opinions, they must weigh and evaluate relevant arguments and counter-arguments. When the media fails to emphasize both sides of an issue fairly, it risks sliding down the slippery slope from news reporting to manipulative propaganda. The media often prints stories disc...
