Blurring the Lines of Villainy

We love Walter White because we understand him even as we know that if he was a real person we’d want him imprisoned until the cancer ate him alive and as far away from us as possible. Harley Quinn is a blast unless she showed up at your kid’s birthday party and started swinging her anarchist giant croquet mallet into the faces of the screaming parents.

The Tone of the Exchange is the Music of the Moment

The dilemma is a lack of curiosity with a sense of cultural animosity as an obstacle. The best musicians see all music as worthy of study and appreciation. The musicians of note explore the music of everyone to find influences and include them into their own repertoire.

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of September 6, 2020

The seasonal change from summer to fall should depress you. It’s the sign that things are about to die. Leaves on the ground are the carcasses of nature’s annual genocide.

Systemic Homophobia: A Comparison

He just threw out things he had determined were homophobic without anything but his saying so as evidence. It was like he had a dartboard of society, tossed a dart, and whatever it landed on was that day’s new homophobic thing.

I Believe… [Living in a Bugs Bunny World]

…that when journalistic objectivity, property ownership, and craft jam are all indicators of white supremacy, we’ve now entered into a Chuck Jones cartoon as a society.

Who Cares What I Think About...Anything?

I realize, coming from me, that the following statement will likely cause neck injuries from the Bugs Bunny face shaking incredulity, but you don’t have to have a strong opinion about everything.

If archeologists happened to find the body of Christ—proof he didn’t go to heaven—that would automatically make every Christian either a Jew or a Muslim. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Correcting the Orwellian Doublespeak for Zoomers

If Orwell had seen this new reality, 1984 would’ve been unreadable because while Big Brother proposed that ‘War is Peace’ Angry Brother would be saying “No. War isn’t Peace. Peace is Power.”

I Believe… [Enabling the Trump]

I believe… that the only person who benefits from protests devolving into riots and looting while being excused as somehow acceptable is Donald Trump.

See Through the Fear Mongering

In most cases neither pitch is likely but if the choice is presented as life or death, good versus evil, black and white nonsense the least curious and most gullible will leap to one side or the other.

If the police want us to stop claiming they are untrustworthy petulant children, they need to stop acting like untrustworthy petulant children.

When It Comes to Trauma, Belief Really Is a Sledgehammer

If it’s as simple as reframing your relationship to trauma to turn it into a gain rather than a subtraction, why would anyone choose otherwise?

Election 2020: A Referendum on the Country’s Soul (Hulk Hogan Said So)

Certainly, his speech was laden with a sense of stake and dread. Unusually, a former president openly criticized and dismissed the current office-holder but that wasn’t the religion he espoused. He asked for, he demanded, fealty to the concept of Democracy.
