The world’s only one man media empire
Like Bidenomics before it, the vibecession rests on two false assumptions, first that the economy is either the best ever or the worst ever, and second that declining inflation means declining prices. Besides, if the economy is so good, why is everyone saying the American dream is dead? Following the failure of “Bidenomics” to change people’s… Continue reading The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream
The former Governor and now Presidential candidate moved swiftly from refusing to clearly state that slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War to inexplicably claiming America was “never” a racist country. She likely knows better, but her advisors probably don’t. Former Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has about the same… Continue reading Nikki Haley needs a history lesson and a lesson for all politicians from Donald Trump
The search for something better defines us, and will always do so. The only way to cope is to tell the world itself to fuck off. We can rise above our fates only if we spit fate itself in the face and live in the moment. “Badlands” isn’t my favorite Bruce Springsteen song. A perennial at… Continue reading Springsteen’s “Badlands” and the moment that just don’t come
These contraptions satisfy next to no one outside of a few specific buyers with unique needs, and, of course, our government overlords that are desperate to restrict our mobility to save the planet. Last week, the rental car giant, Hertz, announced a huge reduction in its electric vehicle fleet, selling some 20,000 cars, about a… Continue reading 2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration
Time is the only tell whether Trump can continue defying the odds, but by now, no one should bet against him and love him or hate him, all of us have the proverbial front row seat to history in the making. Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses so convincingly that… Continue reading Trump’s immunity to the laws of political gravity and legal exposure, potentially
Much like music, a great film can exist purely on an emotional level, as a stream of loosely related and structured consciousness that teases us with symbolism, impenetrable to a complete analysis, and yet filled with meaning all the same. Federico Fellini’s 1963 surrealistic fantasy about a film director struggling with his love life and… Continue reading Fellini’s 8½ and whether or not reality matters in either art or life itself
“There are some aspects of what is going on that remain puzzling,” explained a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Climate change means all past analogs are not so reliable,” save when they advance the cause of hysteria, of course. It’s become an unfortunate annual tradition, the same as the holidays themselves… Continue reading A new year means new heights in global warming hysteria
They used to call the Baby Boomers the “me generation” because they lived a life of leisure and prosperity compared to their parents, but at least some in Gen Z seem to believe no one before has ever struggled. Earlier this week, a TikTok video of a young woman in a Walmart uniform expressing her… Continue reading Gen Z and the sad irony of affluence
An otherwise fine movie suffers from an almost schizophrenia in attempt to devour itself, as if the goal was to put the breakdown of the atom that powers nuclear fission on screen rather than the even more incredible narratives that surrounded it. Oppenheimer, which recently won best drama, best director, best drama, and best original… Continue reading Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, the kitchen sink, and reality being more amazing than fiction
The President bizarrely declared that “freedom” is on the ballot after his own party robbed hundreds of millions of Americans of their freedom less than four years ago, among other unprecedented assaults on our democracy. Last week, President Joe Biden opened the general election campaign by donning the mantle of George Washington, positioning himself and… Continue reading President Biden and the Democrats wouldn’t know democracy if it bit them in the ass
