I’m Not Saying It’s Aliens

Regular readers of this blog will know that I'm no hard-nosed skeptic. That said, Charles Fort himself warned against being so open-minded that one's brains spilled out.

Don’t Be Demoralized

By this point, even the most oblivious have started to notice that our elites' ever more irrational dictates aren't meant to help anyone.

A Model of Collapse

Scholar Peter Turchin has developed a model of societal collapse that's already yielded startingly accurate predictions. Acquainting yourself with his work is probably a good idea because, if he maintains his track record, we probably won't be enjoying the next 5-10 years very much.   The year 2020 has been…

Why Amazon Failed

The esteemed Fr. Brendon Laroche, @padrebrendon on Twitter, documents the latest shenanigans surrounding books by Conservative authors on Amazon.
