It's really funny. I seem to come back to this blog every Fourth of July and resolve to post more about it. I kind of wonder why that is. Part of me thinks because something very deep inside me broke on Election Day 2016 and I've been trying to recover from it ever since. And the Fourth of July just reminds me of how I've lost faith in both America and Americans to make the right decision at the end of the day.
Listen, I've lived through eight years of the George W. Bush era. That sucked a whole lot. But I never doubted the loyalty of W, as fucking moronic as he was. Instead, we've got a moron who thinks that airports existed in 1776.
So I think I come back here thinking this is a good place for me to rage and post in an environment that I can control. I may be right about that. I don't want to use social media. I don't want to give up the rights to my own content. So it's here and nowhere else. If folks want to get it from an RSS feed, great, but otherwise you've got to come here. I'm not on Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram. I'm here because I control this, rather than being controlled by platforms. I am the platform.
