Are You Woke? Congratulations, You’re In a Cult

I’ve noticed there is a movement going on in our culture right now, spear-headed by the new Left, operating and acting exactly the way a cult would. And, when I say cult, I’m talking about the textbook examples of what constitutes a cult—religious or non-theistic. I’m talking cult in terms of NXIVM, Scientology, Heaven’s Gate, the Manson Family, The People’s Temple, and now The New Left, etc. So, yes, if you currently consider yourself to be a member of the Woke…congratulations, you’re in a cult.

Seeing as how I’ve done away with most of my social media, I’ll be posting my recent photo shoots here, talking a bit about what I used, how I did it. Yadda yadda yadda. I’ll be putting the final products here and even posting some video lessons on my photo editing workflow. With all that …

Ghosts Aren’t Real, and Here’s Why (w/video)

When I was a kid, I used to believe in everything: The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Space Aliens, Human Decency. But then I started reading science book after science book and slowly these things started to fall away. I eventually became a skeptic and hardcore adherent to science, requiring any claims to have the proof it was due. Loch Ness Lake has been scanned by sonar and satellites and found no sign of a plesiosaur nor did samples of DNA evidence show anything resembling a monster. Bigfoot is likely not real since there’s been no actual biological evidence ever to be found—all the footprints, videos, and eyewitness accounts have been deemed hoaxes whether by examining the submitted evidence or by admission.

Did Trump Incite the DC Riot (and the media’s role) – w/video

On January 6th 2021, a violent mob broke into the DC Capitol building in an effort to change the outcome of the electoral process. You can call these people “protestors” or you can them “insurrectionists,” whatever you want to call them today, that’s fine (I don’t give a turkey), this isn’t about them or what they did. This is about broaching the question: did Trump actually “incite” the DC Capitol violence?

A Thousand Words: On Regret, One Day Soon, and Gasoline Dialect

I decided to delete my social media accounts a little while back. Part of the reason was due to the climate of ramped-up tech censorship we’re seeing on such a one-sided scale.  It’s one thing for private companies arbitrarily deciding who they want to deplatform, it’s another thing to watch so many people openly supporting …

Debunking Systemic Racism in STEM and #ShutDownSTEM

Do you remember when you were a kid; you went outside to play, and all your neighborhood friends were already outside in the middle of a game they were making up? “Hey, guys.  What’s going on?”“Oh hey.  You’re standing on the sidewalk and the sidewalk is lava.  So if you stand on the lava, you’re dead.  …

Uncorked Nonsense: The Ilhan Omar Cocktail

When it comes to cocktails, you’ve got your classics: the Manhattan, the Martini, the CocoCocaCola. Some cocktails are even named after real people, be it the creator or the muse for the drink: you’ve got your Tom Collins, a refreshing gin-based drink with lemon juice, sugar syrup, and carbonated water; there’s a Rob Roy, a sophisticated whisky and vermouth beverage which is based on Rob Roy MacGregor. And now we have the Ilhan Omar, a bitter, gritty experience, Campari based and served over a bed or dull-edged rocks and coarse sand, finished with dash of acerbic coffee grounds with a wrapped napkin to garnish.
