Dodgem Logic - Colliding Ideas to See What Happens
Well, the first issue of Dodgem Logic is out, the new “underground magazine” published by Alan Moore.

SNL on, you know, politics and stuff.
I don’t think that the US will actually be a first-world country much longer.

Things I Love, Things I Hate, volume 3
It’s everyone’s favorite column, where I talk about things I love and hate, and always seem to focus on that slippery slope of hypocrisy that is talking shit on infighting!

Tonight, Nov. 21st, Reading at The Cyberpunk Apocalypse

Running Up That Hill
The best piece of performance art I’ve ever seen—measured by its emotional effect on me—was short and told a story of estranged youth. It began as a blood ritual set to black metal, it ended with one in the other’s arms flying from the stage set to this song. Running Up That Hill by Kate [...]
