wayback machine on Substack Happy Father’s Day

This fine piece triggered me to buy β€œThe Wayback Machine” as a Father’s Day present to myself. As a misanthrope who uncharitably dismisses the work of most β€œwriters” I’m looking forward to proving to myself that not everything produced in these hellish times has to suck.

Take Me to Your Leader … oh wait. Never Mind. You’re telling me there’s a power-mad cabal that’s been kneeling on humanity’s neck for the past 2,000 years? Maybe so, my friend, but it’s not β€œThe Jews.”

Keep going, Joss!

If anyone who ever lived on this godforsaken planet has a sliver of a chance at some sort of immortality, one of them has to be Sly Stone.

The Eve of Destruction !? … Something has indeed gotten too big and unwieldy and seems headed for a totalitarian abyss, but what the fuck is it, really?

Something to chew on, care of the great expat iconoclast, CJ Hopkins.

Death Takes No Holiday, Chapter 13 I Had a Dream Last Night …

I’m writing a time-traveling back-and-forth β€œhumorous” philosophical memoir, my first stab at book-length non-fiction. It’s a series of stand-alone essays. Here’s the one I finished today, still half drugged from a biopsy yesterday:

Wasted: A Story of Love Gone Toxic, Chapter 22 The Last Supper

This is the part you were warned about. The protagonist pulls a Luigi Mangione stunt on steroids, holding a banquet full of crony capitalists, mobsters and corrupt politicians hostage, saving the author from ever considering doing the same.

Yasha Levine on Substack β€œTrump letting a trans woman β€œgroom / rape” his underage granddaughter.” Ok this is very funny.

What a strange, bizarro world. Everything you can possibly imagine, actually exists. I’m going to go watch β€œBrazil” again. This time as a documentary.

Wasted: A Story of Love Gone Toxic Chapter 1 Emergency 911

Treat it like a real crime podcast. You won’t be sorry. By the way, there is a lot about the Lower East Side and downtown NYC in the first five chapters, as well as the very end. Enjoy!

The 5 in the can so far comprise a hair-raising backstory, much of which is informed by the author’s experiences on and around September 11, 2001, in lower Manhattan. Don’t worry, it’s not a 9/11 truther novel. It’s actually 10 times worse, but you’ll have to read/listen to it to find out.
