The world’s only one man media empire
The same as Logan’s children seek to inherit his creation without having done the hard work of building it, hard work which included shady deals, sacrificing morals when convenient, cutting corners when necessary, and screwing over competitors, we inherit a world built by giants from Thomas Edison to Teddy Roosevelt and have no idea what… Continue reading For better or worse, Succession is the ideal show for our times
Rather than focusing on freaking out the squares, Pride Month should honor great thinkers and achievers throughout history who were members of the LGBTQ community. Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers of all time, is one such figure who led a tumultuous, very public life and produced some of the most cherished works… Continue reading Leonardo da Vinci: A modest proposal for Pride Month
The Titanic claims another five victims in a story that might be even more illustrative of humanity’s boundless pride than the original tragedy. If the sinking of the world’s largest ocean liner was Shakespeare, the implosion of the Titan is Vonnegut in a sad sign of the decline of our times. For generations, the Titanic… Continue reading The Titanic, the Titan, and humanity’s endless hubris
Big Sky Country is home to some of the most awe-inspiring vistas on the planet, from mountains to lakes and prairies, and some of the most amazing animals in the United States, but nature cannot hide the poverty plaguing small towns like Browning. Glacier National Park occupies 1,583 square miles in the northwestern corner of… Continue reading Montana’s breathtaking beauty and heartbreaking poverty, plus our encounter with a grizzly bear
The Wizard of Menlo Park invented the modern world, pioneering everything from recorded sound to the light bulb, but he did with an eccentricity inseparable from his unique genius. If Thomas Alva Edison had invented the phonograph alone, the world’s first device for recording and playing back sound, he would have been considered a genius. … Continue reading Thomas Edison and the eccentric nature of genius
A college student receives a failing grade for using the word “biological women,” a high school student is banned from graduation and loses his job for saying “guys are guys,” and yet it’s the LBGT community that claims they’re in a “state of emergency.” While conservatives have been busy celebrating the success of boycotts against… Continue reading Woke will get worse before it gets better
The past is memory, memory is a ghost and also a dream, the dream is a lie, and yet we still cannot stop ourselves from trying. “The River” isn’t a happy song, but that doesn’t preclude the possibility of redemption in some unforeseen future. Bruce Springsteen’s “The River” isn’t a happy song. The music, complete… Continue reading Springsteen’s “The River” and the ghost of redemption
There are always going to people who have things you don’t, whether by birth or achievement. There is value instead in being grounded – knowing who you are, what you are capable of, your strengths and weaknesses and the like. The Bulimia Project recently asked three Artificial Intelligence Image Generators to create their vision of… Continue reading Unpopular opinion: Beauty standards are supposed to be unrealistic, that’s the point
Adidas chooses men to model women’s swimwear, Target has Satanists designing Pride apparel and another company pushing children’s swimsuits with different crotches for potential trans kids, and the LA Dodgers invite an anti-Christian drag show to perform before a game. What are us “normals” missing? These days almost every day brings with it a new… Continue reading Corporate America seems intent on committing suicide by woke
Sometimes, you can learn a lot about yourself, your country, and the world at large on vacation in what might as well be half a world away, but the lessons aren’t always positive. Paris in particular and France in general has never been high on my list of countries to visit. This is not based… Continue reading Springsteen in Paris, a Fiat 500 Hybrid in the Alps, and an America that no longer works
