Hello World

Hello friends,

I'm so glad that we could gather here today, it's been too long since we've gotten together. As you know, you have each been selected for a very particular trait. Whether it's your tolerance for long-winded bullsh*t or your addictive potential for meme farming, you are blessed and special. I am so happy to be on this journey with you. Together, we will chart new territory in thought, peel back the layers and layers of news and geopolitical context, and maybe learn one small thing in the process. May we know nothing to better see.

Your truly,
Pope Cujo

We have been, too, but we didn't know it. Civility was never going to last. The good old days were never coming back. The past has always been full of assholes shitting on the future and we lucky few to live in such interesting times exist only as a gran...

You seen these new devices being touted as the hottest new gadget to improve your home life? Maybe you want one. Maybe you think it's a great idea. Maybe your mother-in-law already has 3 and can't shut up about how wonderful they are. Whatever. I can sum up my opinion of these in just 3 words: fuck this shit. Why? 2 points of view on why these are fucking terrible: 1) E-Commerce Invasion It wasn't enough that your browser and phones are continually trying to shove more and more advertisements in your face. It wasn't enough that WiFi-enabled buttons helped you order more Tide detergent or Astroglide. No, we needed to go even further and put a fucking capitalism dildo on proud display in your living room as though it represents substantial progress of any kind. Not only can this device tell you the weather or when your snot-nosed crotchspawn needs to be picked up from dressage practice, it also deepens the ad-serving profile that Google, Amazon, etc etc have on your...
