Skeleton Dandy

Speaking With My Father’s Voice I don’t remember when my Father last told me, “I love you.” But I do know it was years before he died. It was definitely after he sat me down and explained that the law didn’t require him to love m…

Posted a new piece to my blog that's more personal than usual: therattlingskeleton.blog/2025/04/14/s...

Because you do know more.

The problem with "Fuck Around and Find Out" sentiments is that the people who Fucked Around will never Find Out. They will suffer, but it won't change their minds. In fact, many will just double down.

What should I spend my few days of semi-unemployment playing: E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, or Shadows of Doubt?

People NEED to accept that those in power believe what they say. But they like to pretend that it's entirely smoke and mirrors for baser corruption because that is less distressing than the truth.

My take is advocating violence against any individual notable enough to have a Wikipedia page is fine, but doing it against anyone else should get you thrown in jail.

My most controversial Warhammer 40,000 opinion: Abaddon should've died when the Blackstone Fortress kamikazed Cadia. His character arc is over!

Twitter got the freaks. I can't quit it.

I can't wait until she decides not to in the hopes that the party doesn't pull the football away next time.

Anyway, I still feel comfortable going all in on my "Dems will eat shit in 2026" theory.

This means that Fetterman is now effectively the head of the Senate Democrats because a guy in his 70s doesn't want to admit he can't do the job anymore.

My guess is he learned enough Democrats were going to vote for it, and he'd rather cave in than admit he doesn't have control of his party.

And they're entirely correct, too! Fighting it out in the House only to immediately cave in the Senate is the worst possible outcome for this bill.

Shit like this is why I'm hesitant to come over to here from Twitter.

I don't care what the @aftertheendmod.bsky.social devs say. In this house, the Mahonics are descendants of Vince McMahon. End of story.

I think YouTube should start shutting down people who say "unaliving" and encourage people to, you know, just say the person killed themselves.

If / when the government starts really going after the Democrats, I expect Newsom to switch parties.

People I Hate #1: Elon Musk I recently copped a week-long ban from Twitter, all for expressing my fond hope that Elon Musk would die soon – I want to see his baby mamas tear apart his fortune in endless litigation, like…

Like most of the upper-middle class and above, Eric Adams cannot comprehend that anyone has ever suffered more than he has.

The linguistic object.

Thank you! I'm splitting my time between here and Twitter now. I'll probably be banned from Twitter soon since I keep sending death threats to Musk.

I wonder what the age breakdown in West Berlin is like.

A Brief Update It has been over a week since this blog went live. I’ve received about 84 visitors, about 84 more than I expected. Surprisingly, about 21 visitors were from Belgium and 12 from Saudi Arabia. I can …

The Democrats are a guild of politicians.

I'd give it a week before every conservative in America dismisses every single one as a “bunch of whiners.”

Career Highlight #3 – How Magic Came to the Cunning Folk “How Magic Came to the Cunning Folk” came to me all at once. I found an ad in an online magazine requesting submissions in the style of medieval fairy tales. It was late March 2021, and despite cla…

Career Highlights #2 – The Townies In the late summer of 2020, a friend told me that a regional magazine was fishing for submissions. Three weeks later, I submitted the story below. The publication quickly accepted it, with the cave…

Counterpoint: fans of mediocre MLB teams love to take about them during the off-season, but never during the actual season.
