Yesterday, I gave my hot take on Twitter about the Dow Jones dropping over 1,000 points. So now I’m going to elaborate more. To everyone crying about the #DOW dropping: You knew for the last two weeks it might tank due to #Covid_19 fears and didn’t think to do some sell-offs while at its record […]
I don’t know why some guys do certain stupid things to women in an effort to get with them. Catcalling or telling a woman to “smile more” comes to the forefront of everyone’s minds when you talk about this kind of thing. Seriously, when has either of those actually worked for a guy? At the […]
It is when you become the master that you can break the rules… Nope, this isn’t a quote from the book, but it describes both the main character and the author. I know I’m five years late to reading this book, but I finally got around to reading and reviewing it. Larry Correia is very […]
This year, the “novel” Atlanta Nights by a group of sci-fi authors under the pseudonym Travis Tea turns 15 and the lessons it teaches us are still as true as ever.

I was looking to take a break from reading sci-fi and fantasy, so I took the opportunity to read and review CV Hamilton‘s critic’s copy of her Las Vegas murder mystery entitled “Magicide.” Vegas detectives Cheri Raymer and Tony Pizzarelli put together the clues to solve the murder of Maxwell Beacham-Jones after he is horrifically […]
Yesterday, everyone was surprised by the death of retired basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in the tragic Calabasas helicopter crash. Ten years ago, I would have wondered why everyone was freaking out. Had you died, Kobe probably would have no idea and would not have attended your funeral, so why make a […]
Back in the early 2000s, I saw all sorts of content creators setting up “PayPal Tip Jars” on their web pages. I thought it was really cringy at the time, but I get it now, people want to get paid for their content, even if its people simply tipping them out of the goodness of […]
Everyone with a sense of drive wants to get ahead in life. Usually this is in the form of a promotion in the workplace. This goal entails an increase in both pay and prestige. The problem is–you guessed it–the spot above you need to become vacant. In Star Wars, it is tradition for the apprentice […]
