Thanks for all your support! If you have the means, please don’t forget to tip! Upgrade at 30% off Hello Friends, I'm absolutely disgusted by the complete lack of accountability we see in our society today. Powerful people decide on a narrative, pick a scapegoat, determine a punishment, and then skip merrily on their way. Meanwhile all our problems continue. We're on a perpetual spin cycle and not...

Here’s the 50% off special to become a paid sponsor —thanks so much! Javier told me about the time he identified the man who had shot him. He stood behind a two way mirror at the police station in a room made from cinder blocks, pointed, and said, “That’s him.” The other suspects were led away. The shooter was placed in handcuffs. Javier fixed me with an intense look, “I made the police open the d...

Thanks so much for your generous tips! Hello Friends, We live in dark times. There's no sense in complaining about it, there will be time for that if we survive. For now, we have to put down our heads and learn what we can so that one day our children might inherit a better world. I hope. It occurred to me that it might be useful to brainstorm the common characteristics of the enemy. Sometimes, by...

The most powerful thing you can do right now is change how you think. What do I mean by that? It has become painfully obvious that many of the things we're told to believe are quite simply untrue. I'm talking about the fundamental ideas that form the foundation of our whole society. They're lies. For example, this nation does not stand for truth or justice. This nation is not free. The moment we a...

Hello Everyone! This was such a wonderful conversation! Anat offers some excellent advice that we can apply both in how we address others, and how we can examine our own understanding of truth. As we were talking, I realized that the concept of speaking truth has layers and layers of complexity. We have to make slight adjustments to our strategies depending on the specific kind of communication we...

Hello Friends, I've been having the same arguments with so-called “centrist” or “neoliberal” Democrats for decades. In the wake of yet another embarrassing loss, the DNC establishment always turns all of its power to blaming the voters. They attack progressives. They attack people who stayed at home. They rant and rage and froth at the mouth because voters don't do what they want them to do. They...

The people on the adjacent court oozed entitlement. Maybe it was the cadence of their speech. Maybe it was the way they spoke a little too loud as if they thought everyone wanted to hear. Maybe it was the way they hung a speaker to the fence and started blasting everyone with AC/DC. If they'd been teenagers, that would have been fine. I have no problem with teenagers rocking out to AC/DC and laugh...

Please don’t forget to tip! Upgrade at 30% off The president has threatened us so much it just bores me now. It’s always the same old thing. He uses his greasy fingers to mash out incomprehensible threats written in awful grammar and we’re all supposed to sit here trembling. Whatever. Here we are again after another humiliating weekend where everything the president touched turned to absolute garb...

Thanks so much for your generous tips! I’m getting older now and I’m increasingly having the experience of trying to share something with my children that I read when I was younger, only to find it to be woefully inadequate. There are scraps of the magic I remember, but the storytelling is often clunky and uninspiring. The pacing is off, and far too much time is spent on exposition. It’s interesti...

Hello Friends, It was nice to have Peter William Murphy join us again. I’m getting a kick out of his chaotic Monday podcast. He’s been pulling out all the stops and he’s the first Substack user I’ve seen to openly parody the idea of a livestream. I guess Ben is their next guest, so I’ll be sure to tune in to that. We can’t take ourselves too seriously… lord knows there are enough jerks out there w...

Consider sponsoring me if you can! Upgrade at 30% off Yesterday, I saw the news that a Minnesota Democrat had been assassinated in her own home. This is heartbreaking. It made me sick to my stomach. I denounce this and all acts of violence with every fiber of my being. Unfortunately, the Republicans have made threats and violent rhetoric a fundamental part of their messaging for the last few elect...

Here’s a discount code in case you’re considering upgrading to a paid sponsorship! Thirty years ago, an Australian friend of mine jumped on a plane and came to Wisconsin to spend the winter. He exchanged the sun, sand, and waves for biting snow and brutal cold. Clark aspired to make Australia’s national team as a cross-country skier. He was in pursuit of the Olympics, and Wisconsin allowed him an...

The billionaires will try to shut me down. Your support helps! Hello friends, The topic of election integrity has always been a point of discussion. Republicans have been especially fixated on the issue since 2020. Despite no evidence of interference, they demanded recounts of the election they lost. They investigated ballots. They filed lawsuits. Finally, they attacked the Capitol. But, the elect...

The billionaires will try to shut me down. Your support helps! Hello Friends, Everybody makes the wrong assumption about people living in squalor and misery. This is because so many people, particularly the people in the United States of America, have always had a great deal of privilege. If you come across somebody who is clearly struggling and offer to help, you assume they will gratefully agree...
