Otherwise, say goodbye to agile thinking as a human activity, and watch us all devolve into cute Pomeranians — I am not a tech expert, but I do have the ability to think. That is an ability that we may well be on a pathway of unintentionally eliminating, or at least severely attenuating, in coming generations. Two nails in the coffin: banning books and allowing ChatGPT to even exist…

Because lawmakers have dirty minds — It is always especially infuriating when lawmakers get together to ban what they know nothing about. It is also very revealing about the dirty little perverted imaginings that must lurk in the minds of “righteous” people who “just want to protect kids.” My personal opinion is that kids need protection…

The first 100 purchased will come with an actual real and officially stamped “Top Secret” government document (with the original SCIF folder included!) and autographed by Donald Trump himself!

Did you really think they wanted to find and announce the leaker? — To be clear, I am not expressly calling the investigation into the leaking of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe a sham.

Am I part of the problem? Are you? Is the Medium politics section? — I have been reading the book “Hate Inc.” by Matt Taibbi, published in 2019. It is about the role that news media — both on the right and the left—as well as social media like Facebook, etc., play in making us hate one another. In pondering his book, as I…

It is this American obsession with “either/or” that is truly destroying our society on every level — It is something so fundamental to our society and culture that I think many of us fail to stop and really think about it. Everything is binary in our society, or at least that is the story being funneled to us by Infotainment Inc (what used to be “news” outlets…

Yes, it is comical, but the trail of money is not funny at all — I want to know where the money came from. Yes, the big story in the news is the laundry list of lies from the newly elected member of Congress, George Santos (R-NY). What did he lie about? Well, everything, basically. Technically, you could even say his very name is a…

Being afraid versus having a heart — It had been a while since I took a peek at Fox News. This seemed like a good time to look in on Earth 2. For a long time, Fox News had been the proverbial “boy who cried wolf” about our border with Mexico, and since there now is an…
