In Madison, WI a dude got out of a van & lay on the ground, next to me as I sat in line for an all-ages show (O'cayze). He looked at a punk girl in a red plaid skirt and looked at me in the eye and said, "I want to have sex with her." I was just 15. He was in Descendents.

In late 1980s I went to see Circle Jerks and got to the bar early. (I was 15. It was the 80s! Go figure!) & some dude was yelling at the TV while the L.A. Raiders were playing. I was all like, "Loser. Football is dumb!" It was Greg Hetson. I was a child...

Interesting.

Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin wants to destroy American democracy. With the Trumpian right embracing strongman rule, his ideas have found mainstream purchase.

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America

The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.
