https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ Cancel culture, at the moment, is a movement that’s destroying the celebrity elite, politicians, and corporations. It’s chipping away at their royal entitlement to make the rules without being questioned by the populace. It’s holding “VIP influencers” up to a higher standard.

Read MoreMaybe someday I will write a free book on “creative writing” probably called “How to Fucking Write” or a similarly provocative title. For many years, when I was in my early twenties, that was the only criticism I ever heard from successful writers. “Learn how to fucking write!” Back in the early 2000s, we didn’t […]

Today you have the chance to let the dream triumph.” –The Fake Orson Welles (“RKO 281”) For as long as civilization has existed, man has sought to find meaning in dreams.

It’s a remarkably sad thought to have in one’s final moments, and yet something that seems consistent in a society of lonely but “connected” people. I was talking to a friend yesterday and she said something profound. Perhaps everyone else […]
Read MoreIf human beings have accepted that “Life is meaningless, without purpose or value,” then it’s reasonable to believe that in “Toontown” the same antisocial conclusion has prevailed. “Nothing really matters and morals are a social construct.” Given the prevalence of cynicism among cartoon characters, some of whom embrace the label of “stinker”, or “loony” (or […]
Read Moreby Late Mitchell Warren A recurring expression on social media, where we inexplicably see groups and pages offering “unconditional love” to some niche population of society, is the idea that we “love people more than animals.” However, observable evidence suggests that we don’t actually love people more than animals.

Read MoreI have complicated views on the flag. I grew up in the 1980s, pressured to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States “and the republic for which it stands” during school hours.
