Haha you rube.

I do this like once a month. Often while staring at a calendar. The struggle is real.
Btw, with IS 2026 rapidly coming together, we still have speaking slots but they are not going to last forever. If you are a nonfiction podcaster or content creator, HMU. Especially if you have a round table idea!

New Episode of Why Tho? This one features a discussion of the 1934 Telecommunications Act, because I know what the kids want to hear! Incidentally, this wasn't intended to be timely but uh here we are.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.
People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

I'm just gonna say it. I think the shit we had to read in school had a pretty damn good batting record. Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, King Lear, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Huck Finn all have highly salient themes today.
I am reluctantly forced to chalk up a W for the children's literary canon
Senator Rand Paul directly and forthrightly takes on JD Vance:

"What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."
In today's episode Henry IV finally takes the reigns of power. And begins making some questionable decisions.

Who is the Quitzach Haderach?
Haha, that lack of clarity is part of the joke. That said:

ECW: English Civil War
TWoTK:The War of Three Kingdoms
SCW: Scottish Civil War
WotC: War of the Confederacy
Anyone who is accusing the entire Gen z of a behavior of any kind needs to fuck right off an possibly die. They did that shit to us an it was totally stupid. Stop it. Stop it. Stop.
Does profound art best exist to keep us angry or give us the strength to keep living? The former could get us all to destroy ourselves without purpose, the latter to accept anything that comes along until it's too late. Anyway heres wonderwal.

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back

Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav-

Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos*

Millennials: no wait

The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*
If you include all WMDs you have to include Syria, Turkey has some access, and the Saudis have access as well since they bankrolled the Pakistani program. None of which justifies what Israel is doing.
Why Tho? In the next few days. W2W writing is in progress.
