Before the sickos come in, I am just going to say it. What Pamela Cisneros did was not okay. And before somebody decides to make this about politics, capitalism, Bank of America, corporate America, class warfare, mental health, policing, or whatever else they want to use to justify it: a woman was stabbed to deathContinue reading “Before the Sickos Come In: No, Erin Piacenti Did Not āDeserve Itā”

Woke 1? Woke 2? WTF Are We Doing?
I’m going to say something that might piss off people on both sides of the political spectrum: The whole āwokeā thing is getting fucking stupid. And no, I’m not saying that from some right-wing, anti-progressive perspective. Quite the opposite. I’m talking about something that has gotten so absurd that we’ve reached the point where basicContinue reading “Woke 1? Woke 2? WTF Are We Doing?”
So Where Do I Stand?
After my last two posts, I think I need to make something very clear. Where do I actually stand on all of this? Well, you know where I stand. I’m against it. I’m against ICE unjustly affecting people. And I mean people. Not just people I like. Not just people I agree with. Not justContinue reading “So Where Do I Stand?”
A Small-Scale Version of My Prediction Is Already Happening
I want to add something to my previous post, because after seeing more reactions to the Milo Yiannopoulos detention today, I think there’s an important distinction to make. I said that part of my prediction was that eventually we’d see people flip their positions on ICE depending on who ICE was going after. And IContinue reading “A Small-Scale Version of My Prediction Is Already Happening”
Well, I Called It: ICE Just Detained Milo Yiannopoulos
A few weeks ago, I wrote something on this blog that, at the time, was really more of a prediction than anything else. I said that I believed it was only a matter of time before ICE eventually arrested, detained, or deported someone who was a prominent figure within the MAGA movement. And now, hereContinue reading “Well, I Called It: ICE Just Detained Milo Yiannopoulos”
Flock Cameras, Privacy, and the Dumbest Possible Form of Protest
I don’t like Flock cameras. Let me get that out of the way right from the beginning, because I don’t want anybody reading this and thinking I’m secretly defending them. I have serious concerns about automated license plate readers, surveillance cameras, the amount of data these systems can collect, how long that data is retained,Continue reading “Flock Cameras, Privacy, and the Dumbest Possible Form of Protest”
Luigi Is a Test
Iāve written about the Luigi Mangione case before. But this post isnāt really about him. And it certainly isnāt about taking the side of Luigi or the CEO who was killed. This is something different. This is about what this case says about us. Let me start with something that shouldnāt even have to beContinue reading “Luigi Is a Test”
Luigi Mangione Just Pled Guilty, and I Already Know Where His Defense Is Headed
Yesterday, on 8/14/26, Luigi Mangione stood up in a Manhattan federal courtroom and pled guilty to two federal stalking charges connected to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He admitted, in plain language, that he shot Thompson and that Thompson died. No plea deal. No negotiated sentence range. Just a straight guilty plea inContinue reading “Luigi Mangione Just Pled Guilty, and I Already Know Where His Defense Is Headed”
The Last One: I’d Rather Be Right Alone Than Wrong With Company
This is the last post I am going to write on Luigi Mangione for a while, not because I have run out of things to say, honestly I could keep going, but because I think I have said what I actually came here to say, across all of these, and at some point repeating yourselfContinue reading “The Last One: I’d Rather Be Right Alone Than Wrong With Company”
A Guess, Not a Diagnosis: Is the Online Left Drifting Right Without Noticing?
I want to be upfront before I even start this one, because I think it matters more here than it has in any of the previous posts, everything I am about to say is speculation, it is my best attempt to make sense of a pattern I keep watching play out, not a claim IContinue reading “A Guess, Not a Diagnosis: Is the Online Left Drifting Right Without Noticing?”
