War Journal

When you read this, I’ll be thirty. It’s a lot like being twenty, only people listen while you spout nonsense. So far, I’m into it.

I might be jumping the gun on forty, but I think it’s time I pick up a prejudice or two. While my father was a high-tier antisemite, I think I’ll blaze my own trail with McCarthy-era fears and hatreds. Really take See More Evil in a “better dead than red” direction.

Weeaboo Hell is off this week, because of the aforementioned birthday liver failure. For now, enjoy part two of our “Imitative Fallacy” game. It contains more thinky-brain-words than usual.

The Past

This short and simple McSweeney’s piece is around the point I stopped drowning in failure. I like that. Hopefully you enjoy the actual content too, but I’m more interested in its historical role.

The Future

Boy, I sure do talk about that book of mine a lot. You should preorder it here, and learn what all the hullabaloo is about.

I lucked into getting a short into a very, very pleasing magazine. I should be able to share it with you nice people in a week or two.
