If you can believe it, January 1, 2026 marks ten years since the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. For Portland Monthly, I wrote about how the ensuing decade was dominated by anxious men and a culture of lawlessness.

Microsoft Word forcing me to stare at this bullshit AI thumbnail while I edit is a cruel and constant reminder that they’re actively trying to take my job from me. Thanks, gang.

What a loss. Mass market paperbacks are the ideal novel format.

I’m giving up on streaming entirely and reverting to mp3 players for my on-the-go listening. I already have a ton on vinyl and buy digitally on bandcamp, and I can get more from artists directly and the library. Fuck this shit

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Talking during movies isn’t just rude, it’s the mark of a deranged sicko and a nation in decline. Disruptive theatergoers should be sent to live on an island with the people who yell at bands like they’re best friends and the people who refuse to use headphones in public.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This is how I pose with all the library books I check out knowing I’m only going to read like two of them before they’re due.

Michael Brooks would have turned 42 today. Here he is flawlessly explaining why the Israel Palestine situation is not complicated. Why it's not even asymmetrical warfare, but an occupation.
Rest in peace Michael. You were the best of us.
