I have no financial interest in this company, but I just want to say tickets are still available for tomorrow's Chaotic Wrestling show at the Sons of Italy in Watertown. This is unquestionably Greater Boston's best live entertainment value: https://www.chaoticwrestling.com/event-details/chaotic-wrestling-on-thin-ice-watertown-1-31

Something we can do to brighten up the English-speaking world in these dark times is to bring back using "boner" to mean misstep or error. The jokes quite literally write themselves.

I'm seeing a lot about how resisting fascism is like sand in the gears, aka weaponized incompetence. I remembered that I wrote a short story last year about this very phenomenon. A quick, readable, non-violent revenge tale! https://write.as/brendanhalpin/short-fiction-how-to-excel-in-college

Lotta people still in denial. We can't get past this till we face what's actually happened. There are no laws governing the executive branch because laws need someone to enforce them. They could literally order summary executions on the Mall and no one can/will prevent it. We have to stop thinking that the system they have successfully taken over can be used to save us.

One of my friends once described Queens of the Stone Age as "riffs in search of songs," and I thought that was both brutal and accurate

When I was a kid we used to judge who was a good drummer by how flashy they were. And yeah, Keith Moon was great, but I've come to believe that the mark of a good drummer isn't fancypants fills as much as drumming in a style that suits the song. So yeah, Meg White is great. Phil Rudd is great.

Several years ago I wrote this piece and I'm very proud of it and also think it raises a point that folks don't talk about very much.

How we got here is academic at this point. It's fun to assign blame but ultimately counterproductive. We will never get out of this until liberals and leftists stop fighting each other and start fighting fascism.

If you are a USian in need of some hope, I really recommend getting on Red Note. It's basically wall to wall Americans who've had their minds blown by interacting with regular people in China. A LOT of "holy shit guys we don't have to live like this."

As we enter an era of ever more ridiculous rules and regulations, I would like to remind you of the strategy you probably employed as a teen to avoid chores. Never say no. Just say yes and don't do it. Or do really really badly.

One of the reasons I write fiction is to imagine a world in which people get a chance to win against the forces of evil and oppression. If you'd like to read a book about people getting wins against horribly corrupt and seemingly untouchable power structures, I got two for you:
