David Talbot’s The Devil’s Chessboard: The CIA, and The Rise of America’s Secret Government is in some ways predictable and infuriating for those of us who know the truth about America. As you will see, reading it did change my perspective on one of the most consequential events in American history. That alone made the… Continue reading Reviewing The Devil’s Chessboard

News is Relative
One important concept many seem not to realize is the news is not all the news that should be communicated. What constitutes news, (whether it be television, newspapers, magazines, or social media) is what the person with editorial power over the content being shared through the medium you are engaging deems to be news.

Waste Management is Listening
Recently, I wrote about it taking me an hour to pay my garbage bill. I’m happy to say Waste Management has been responsive. I have reason to believe their payment system will be accessible as early as next week.
Democrats Don’t Really Care About Accessible Transit Stations
I am not enjoying writing this post. I hate almost always having to be critical. But I have to tell the truth.

During that time, theirwebsite has not been fully accessible, but I could, with more effort than I should need to spend, pay my bill.

But the real story is that three innocent people… Continue reading The First to Die
Reviewing Ty Cobb A Terrible Beauty
Charles Leerhsen’s Ty Cobb A Terrible Beauty is an important book as much for what it says about society as it says about Ty Cobb. Reading this very well researched book about one of the greatest and in many circles infamous athletes of all time taught me new things about Cobb and was a reminder… Continue reading Reviewing Ty Cobb A Terrible Beauty
Americans Are Tools of Production
The reason why Americans don’t have universal health care, a living wage, free college, and more is American workers are nothing more than tools of production. Sure, American politics is corrupt. Every politician in both parties is a corrupt corporate tool. But the corruption exists to maintain the system of American capitalism that makes us… Continue reading Americans Are Tools of Production
Reviewing Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes
Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes is a documentary built on footage taken from Ukraine and Russia around the time of the 1986 nuclear disaster. While the footage and interviews were interesting, there was a part of the documentary that felt wrong.
