Soundbites & Lies
Political campaign ads run on deliberate misinformation and emotional spin. Examining election advertising standards, AI panic narratives, medical guidelines, computing infrastructure needs, and official USDA farmland data cuts through the noise.
Signal Drift: Chapter 28
The plastic syringe she had been holding slipped from her numb fingers, hitting the floorboards with a dull, hollow click. Audrey just stared at him, her face completely drained of color, looking at a man who was supposed to be a ghost thousands of miles away. In the tight, amber-lit alcove of a leaking riverside shelter, the weight of three decades and the raw trauma of what they had lost before the sky went dark came crashing back into the frequency.

Aliens Aren’t Here. We’d Know.
I want to believe in aliens. The universe is too big and too strange for us to be alone. But if extraterrestrials had actually visited Earth, it wouldn’t still be a debate fueled by blurry footage and bad speculation. This post is about why most so-called alien encounters make a lot more sense when you look at human technology, classified testing, and our endless need to turn the unknown into mythology.
I Can’t Count. Moving On.
I screwed up the episode numbers before any of the episodes even aired. Nobody noticed. I did. This is me correcting it loudly, cleanly, and moving on — because the music matters more than pretending I didn’t mess up.
We Went to the Moon. Stop Being Stupid.
The idea that humans didn’t go to the moon refuses to die, even though the evidence has been settled for decades. This post explains why the hoax narrative collapses, why the real story is far more impressive, and why pretending this debate is still open helps no one.
I’m Done Pretending
I’m Done Pretending is a new blog category created out of exhaustion with false balance, willful ignorance, and the pressure to treat misinformation as just another opinion. This post explains why the category exists and what kind of writing will live here going forward.
Hollar Into The Void
The Gibson, Garcia, and the Great Dumbed-Down Betrayal
We have GPUs capable of real-time ray-traced physics at 240Hz, but our desktop operating systems are artificially lobotomized so nobody accidentally breaks anything. From the Gibson in Hackers to Penelope Garcia’s command deck, Hollywood gave us a vision of computing as a high-touch craft—before big tech sanded down every sharp edge for the lowest common denominator.
Episode 1358: Facebook Lied to Us
An algorithmic lie from Facebook turns into a wildly unpredictable four-album palette cleanser on Episode 1358 of Rolling with Scissors, featuring complete record plays from Metallica, ZZ Top, Madonna, and Prince.
Signal Drift: Chapter 26
The six minutes didn’t tick away; they evaporated. The machine was awake, the checksum was breached, and the maintenance deck of the dam erupted into a crossfire of automated lasers and concrete-shattering 7.62 rounds. With no time to reach for his rifle, Cronauer stood flat on the pegs and turned the heavy aluminum armor of his BMW GS into a flying kinetic battering ram.
Shag Shacks, Thrash Metal, and Horseradish
Thought Shatner’s metal record was a Pat Boone stunt? Think again. With a band called The *uckers, a Riot Fest rider demanding a Shag Shack, 4 feet of Polish sausage, and Eau Claire horseradish, the simulation has broken.

The 127-Mile Refusal

The Red-Tape Hijack: Held Hostage by a Broken Joystick
When you’re in a wheelchair, patience isn’t a virtue—it’s a survival mechanism. But discovering a vendor “forgot” to submit your repair paperwork for three months while they sit on working showroom parts is where the patience ends and the fury begins.
Framed and Bound: A Decade of Razor to Wrist History
Instead of letting a legendary Polkadot Cadaver shirt get ruined in the wash, it’s getting framed for the studio wall alongside a deep history of Razor to Wrist memorabilia.
Landlords vs. The Big Bang Theory: A Fourth of July Tragedy
Management felt the need to officially warn us against detonating fireworks inside a drywall structure. Thank god they printed that sign, because my Saturday plans were completely ruined.
