Fractured Facets
I joined the atheist ‘movement’ right around the time of the schism between what an atheist is and what some people though an atheist should be. A group of folks – some of them intellectuals – proposed the concept of […]
The Daily Bent Wire
I’m very much a left-leaning centrist when it comes to my political preferences. I think there are valid points on either side of the political spectrum, and things have to remain fluid so it can adapt to this crazy random […]
And in ‘Aw Shit’ News…
There is a great disturbance in the Force. Something has awakened. At first glance it looks like a bird. At second glance it looks like a cat. You don’t get a third glance because by that time this guy is […]
The Rise of Skywalker
So now it’s all over…again. After 40 years, the Star Wars saga has come to a definitive, final end…sort of. When ‘The Force Awakens’ first came out I was left gobsmacked at how, with that movie, decades of literature that […]

Every week on Holy Crap, Shujin talks about how people on Facebook say the darndest things. Yes, I’m keeping it PC for the most part. He’s right though; there are some grade A idiots out there on social media, and […]
The Long, Ragged Exhale
I read George Orwell’s ‘1984’ back in school, and the world it portrayed seemed so ridiculously different from the world I was in that I found it absurd. I also read ‘Brave New World’ by Aldus Huxley, which really drove […]
The Frustration of Loss
I got the notice on Sunday just as I was waking up. It took a couple of hours for it to sink in but there it was: my friend, Heretic Woman, died on Jan 20. To say she was outspoken […]
