Punching 2019 in the face: Summer bleeds into fall

Last time I posted one of these was back in July. The whole summer was kind of a whirlwind. I don't remember anything about it except that everything revolved around getting my daughter set up to start college and also trying to make the most of family time somehow in a weird transitional time when...

Punching 2019 in the face: May

Well, it's getting on into June, so I should probably let you know how May's attempt at punching 2019 in the face went before it's too late. In case you haven't been through one of these roundups before, this is my goal-setting exercise. Time is the enemy...and even though it always wins in the end,...

It's time to check in again and see if I've landed any good punches in my fight to beat the crap out of the year 2019 and make it my bitch. Let's look at the five goals I set: Goal 1 Make a useful profit from the Hufflepuffery shop on Etsy. April was a very...

Dissenter part 3: The thought police poke back

Replying to a comment on my post about the Dissenter browser extension, I remarked on how the Left always projects the darkest parts of itself onto its enemies: They’re all in a tizzy looking for fascists under every doormat because fundamentally they ARE fascists; that’s the essence of their cozy relationship with Google, Facebook, Twitter,...

Dissenter: Now they can’t stop you

You may have noticed that many "progressive" media sources,pundits, and celebrities take the regressive tack of squelching dissent.

Because they hate you, they think you're a bad person, and you don't deserve to speak. Well,...

In January I wrote down what other people might call New Year's resolutions, but I prefer to call goals. Or plans. Plans designed, as The Emperor's Notepad advised, to punch 2019 in the face and make it my bitch. I figure a monthly update will help keep me honest about how I'm doing and maybe...

National Nothing Day (belated)

So it turns out that yesterday was National Nothing Day. I would have posted about it yesterday, but you know... National Nothing Day. The only thing better than this would be if National Donut Day happened to be on the same date. Doing nothing and eating donuts? Now that's something -- I mean nothing? --...
