Take the “S” Off Your Chest!
Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. All legal opinions are educated guesses. People can get really sensational on social media, I mean REALLY sensational. My wife and I were watching the Netflix documentary on the Hotel Cecil and the Elisa Lam death. It was crazy seeing how many self-appointed sleuths on social media thought they […]

October 2020 Housekeeping
A few noteworthy things: -Due to the widening focus of topics I’ll be covering, I’ll be renaming the website and will have an additional domain of www.foxliketheanimal.com. The old URL of www.bryanfoxjr.com will still work for the foreseeable future. My wife had made a good point that I needed a catchier sounding name for the […]
Why Dave Ramsey Carries a Gun
I will cite a lot of Dave Ramsey’s tenets in this article. If you’re in a tight spot with your finances and don’t know where to start, his books will give you direction. His YouTube page is also a good, free resource. Financial radio host Dave Ramsey has made it no secret that he owns […]
COVIDIOTS: Stimulus Check Shamers
A while ago on a social media site, an author and a freelance editor got into a spat because the author decided to purchase a firearm with her stimulus money. They got into a debate over the issue which grew pretty nasty and I’ll refrain from revealing both of their identities for this reason. So […]
Back to Blogging
I’ve been away a while. I’ve spent way too much time on social media, looking at the train-wreck that society has become. We went from, “We’re all in this together,” staying home to flatten the curve, posting slacktivism videos of singing “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands,” to protests, riots, and trying to […]
COVIDIOTS: “Why Go Back to Work When I’m Getting $1,000 a Week in Unemployment?”
There are a lot of folks out of work right now. Thankfully, the enhanced $600/week unemployment on top of your usual amount of $200-$400ish a week is doing a darn good job of making a lot of folks whole, and then some. Many people are effectively getting a raise out of the $600/week enhancement. Because […]
Review: The Girl Who Owned a City
This will probably be my last pandemic themed book review, and it’s a good one. The Girl Who Owned a City by O.T. Nelson is the granddaddy of dystopian YA literature, originally published in 1975. It’s about a neighborhood of children, led by Lisa who struggle to survive after all teens and adults on Earth […]
COVIDIOTS: N95 Mask Shamers & Virtue Signalers
In case you’ve been living under a rock, N95 masks are one of the more effective face masks to wear for preventing the wearer from getting COVID-19 or to prevent spreading the disease if you already have it (hopefully unknowningly if you have it). Lately on social media, folks have been shaming people who use […]
Review: The Hades Factor
For the third review in my pandemic series, I took a look at 2000’s The Hades Factor by Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds. This was Ludlum’s 4th-to-last book before his passing. There was also a TV miniseries in the mid-00s and possible plans to reboot the show, setting it in the Bourne cinematic universe. It […]
