After nearly a decade of Donald Trump dominating America’s frontal lobe, most of us have developed the survival skill of rolling our eyes and moving on. Ten years of Trump noise will do that to a body. We’ve watched reality TV bleed straight into the Oval Office until everyone’s half-sedated, doom-scrolling through each new absurdity…
Donald Trump’s Truth Social Easter message didn’t mention Jesus—not once. Just a rage-fueled tirade about immigrants, judges, and political enemies, wrapped in sarcasm and grievance, from a man who sounds less like the leader of the free world and more like an authoritarian demagogue with a reliable WiFi connection.
President Donald Trump is now using the federal government to go after people who hurt his feelings. That’s not my hot take, it’s just what’s happening. On April 9th, he ordered formal investigations into two former officials, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Not because they broke the law, but because they broke ranks, and committed the one…
Just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, I heard that Gary had died from complications of early-onset dementia. Fireworks cracked through the night as the world welcomed 2025, but suddenly it all felt hollow. Gary Tyer was my friend. An artist and rock and roller through and through. He had a voice that could pull…
What if the collapse of a democracy doesn’t come with sirens or boots in the street, but with slogans, executive orders, and billionaires in boardrooms? A quiet drift toward something unrecognizable: a system where mythology replaces accountability, unelected tech moguls shape public policy, and fear becomes the new filter for free speech. The warning signs are easy to ignore—until the ground gives way.
In the Fall of 2019, I was in Encinitas, north of San Diego, en route to Hawaii for work. I stopped by the storefront for To The Stars where I ran into the author of this new book, Imminent, Luis Elizondo. This was just after several articles had been published in the media containing amplifying information regarding…
The election might be over, but the fight is just beginning. When everything feels uncertain, it’s time to regroup, face hard truths, and decide what comes next—because the future is unwritten, and we’re the ones holding the pen.
74 million people voted for Donald Trump. Writing them all off as irredeemable bigots risks deepening divides and repeating these outcomes in future elections. Instead of impulsively dismissing them as sexist or stupid, we should listen to what they say about the frustrations driving their choices. Understanding their grievances isn’t excusing hatred—it’s a crucial step toward bridging divides and protecting democracy.
Civil discourse didn’t die with a bang—it bled out quietly, while most of us were busy yelling at each other online. I felt it this past summer on a family trip to Port Aransas, walking along the beach with my 11-year-old daughter. She pointed to a line of pickup trucks flying political flags, most of them…
Within Dudeism—a religion inspired by the beloved film The Big Lebowski—a “Dude” is more than just a carefree person. A Dude is a representation of a more profound philosophy—one that emphasizes sincerity, ease of living, and a genuine appreciation of the dualistic beauty and absurdity of life. Despite having a strong spiritual foundation and a strong background in organized religion, Rabbi Rami Shapiro epitomizes everything that makes a Great Dude: a unique combination of humor, knowledge, and an unshakeable devotion to living a life filled with grace and compassion. This essay examines the reasons why Rabbi Rami ought to be considered one of the Great Dudes of History.
Like me, many people make the decision not to have children after realizing that an aggressive push for procreation is frequently motivated by false beliefs about the meaning of life, self-purpose, a concern for legacy.
In the beginning was fear—the fear that everything that has a body experiences once it realizes we live in a predatory universe; a universe in which absolutely everything gets to be eaten… if not by the sharp fangs of a predator, then by time itself. And Fear became our God. And it began to rule over our lives, shrink our willingness to dare, and rob us of the beauty of it all.
Few people in America’s modern history played as integral of a role in the Republican politics that culminated in the election of Donald Trump as did the old guard televangelist and former GOP presidential candidate Pat Robertson.
