Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if you look at it right

    Unrelated and uninterestingly, I wrote a DnD Fallout campaign for my friends with lots of pop culture references…I think the boys are joining my story! Then two turnips in heat, I might bring out some other TPB cast. Worst case Ontario, I enjoy myself, best case my friends will love it and I can’t smile and say “Atoadaso! I fuckin atoadaso!!”



  • You don’t get to vote outside of your own state for senators or representatives. Voting in your state doesn’t change the fact that other states have different priorities, and sometimes it feels like they’re just completely out of touch. My state has a Democratic majority in almost every part of our government, yet we’re still stuck with a president and federal government that most people here didn’t want or vote for. It’s frustrating because the system lets other states have so much power in choosing the president, even when it doesn’t reflect the will of people in places like mine.



  • The obsession with companies needing to post increasing profits every single year is frankly baffling. Let’s say a company makes X amount in profits in 2024, and everyone—employees, shareholders, stakeholders—are happy and well-compensated. Why should the expectation be that profits must increase in 2025, even if the company is already performing well? The only explanation that comes to mind is greed. It seems like the focus is less on long-term sustainability or fairness and more about feeding the insatiable hunger of CEOs and executives who just want more—more profits, more bonuses, more power. It’s as if they’re modern-day dragons, hoarding wealth for the sake of hoarding, rather than for the health of the business or the people within it.




  • They’re not just protecting him, they’re protecting themselves. If Clarence Thomas has to disclose his trips, so should they.

    In my opinion, everything should be transparent for public servants—every penny received, every vote cast. If you want people to trust you, your actions need to be open and clear. When someone rushes to defend Thomas or any public figure in a similar position, my first thought is: What are they trying to hide? Ethics shouldn’t be optional. You weren’t elected because you’re cool and people liked you—you were elected to serve and represent the people. Unfortunately, it seems many elected officials have forgotten that. Those who’ve been in office too long have likely forgotten it entirely.

    It’s time to remind them. If they won’t pass term limits, we can enforce them by not re-electing those who fail to live up to their promises. If an official doesn’t follow through on their campaign pledges, we need to vote them out. It’s time for Americans to take this country back. We need to stop letting the two-party system distract us. Let’s break free from the stranglehold of the Democratic and Republican parties and focus on a system where people come first and politicians are held accountable to the public, not the other way around.
