“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.
I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue.

I can’t believe Daniel Penny was acquitted. Choked a guy out for 6 minutes and the jury called it self defense. I’m so ashamed of New York.

The (actually final) release date for Butcher's Creek is set. Will be officially announcing it probably early next month once stuff like a trailer etc are ready.
After that I'll be retreating into the shadows for awhile until I know what the next step is.
