Bringing the Trump-Corrupted Presidency to Heel

We will de-Trump America when he is gone. Tearing down all the monuments, taking his name off places it never should have been, unfucking the gaudy vomit he has put all over the White House will be easy and relatively fast.

All the other stuff he has destroyed is going to take the rest of my life to rebuild. The open corruption, lying during confirmations, and naked political actors in SCOTUS, all the relationships with America’s 20th century allies, the empowering and protection of the Epstein Class… it’s a lot. And I we haven’t even mentioned the DOGE destruction.

The rest of my life, at least, and I do know one thing: if we can do it, we can’t just roll it back to 2015. We have to rebuild everything, and we have to punish the absolute fuck out of this entire criminal organization. I’m talking prison for life, nationalizing of assets. We need to ask ourselves, “What would John Brown or Sherman do?”

I fear that rebuilding what has been destroyed will take longer than I’ll be alive, even optimistically giving myself another 20 years…

One Of Two Films This Year That I’m Actually Going To A Theater To See

Backrooms is one of two films I’ll be venturing out to actually see in a theater this year. (The other being DUNE3.) I purchased my ticket today, not that I fear I’ll have any trouble getting in…

I first stumbled across The Backrooms on YouTube back in 2002. Posted on the Kane Pixels channel, at the time the initial video terrified me because I hadn’t run across anything like it previously. Was this real? Rationally I knew it couldn’t be, but the environment was so damn convincing.

In the intervening years, The Backrooms has become somewhat of an internet sensation, with multiple videos being produced by dozens of creators. Some of the videos are really good, expanding upon this strange universe and some are…well…not.

There were rumors last year that a feature-length film was in the works, even though I couldn’t imagine how this story would be brought to the big screen. Well, apparently it was more than just a rumor. Kane Parsons—the original creator of The Backrooms—is directing this A24 production, which is being released later this month (on my birthday, no less!).

If you’re curious, Kane’s original videos can be seen here,

I Could Live There

Beautiful.

I can smell these pictures. Over the course of my life I’ve spent enough time in homes of this vintage to recall that very specific smell produced by wood, old plaster, and time…and it’s wonderful.

Who Remembers?

I can close my eyes and taste it like it was yesterday…

I haven’t been to a Taco Bell in nearly two years. The last time I was there I ordered the (reintroduced) Mexican pizza (one of my favorites) and it was horrific. And then I learned they’d discontinued the Taco Salad and the regular, plain ol’ tostadas—and saw no reason to return after that.
