Dave Chappelle.

I think of a collection as something more consistent than what I do. Any group of things can be considered a collection if you strip away certain criteria. Do you collect silverware? How many forks do you have?

I don’t collect. I buy things I decide are awesome and the collector market has made a great many, great things available. (Thanks guys.) What determines the coolness of any given object is highly reliant upon what certain stories gave me as a kid, but a lot of it comes from media I discovered...

Warduke and his nightmare from Dungeons & Dragons. I just got the new one. Wish it had a horse.

I hate that the Federal debt rose by a trillion since September. Prior to March 2020, it was not on track to get that high until 2029.

Gnostic atheist here. I’d say non-religious but I think Olympian Greek is too excellent to not play along.

Best I can tell, all of the ‘gods’ are a supreme, disembodied consciousness, uniquely capable of genuine knowledge due to being unencumbered by a material form, to whom obedience will affect the best possible outcome for hide-bound mortals, who cannot ever truly know for themselves, until their...

Just chiming in on a need for Clayton Moore Lone Ranger and a set of the three principal Marx Bros. Someone did make a Guy Williams Zorro a few years back. Triad maybe?

A pandemic is one thing. Lockdowns and new stimulus spending will crash the world economy and I don’t want to consider what comes after that.

Add decades of artificially low interest rates and the picture comes into much starker relief. If your income didn’t rise as quickly as you accumulated debt, your lenders would increase your rate. 2020 saw inordinately high borrowing to back its spending while gutting income with lockdowns and...

It’s not chicken or egg. There’s no bird. Like bitcoin, fiat currency is an irredeemable credit pyramid, with the taxpayer as the buyer who gets caught holding the crypto when it tanks.

It’s not that simple.

Horsesht.

It’s funny because the only difference between the Bolsheviks and the NSDAP was nationalism. The fascists were arguably Hegelian, but the radical social theorists from whom Marx derived his communism were known as the Left Hegelians. Marxism is just a materialist version of Hegel’s superstition...
