  • I grew up with blue ketchup on the shelves at the market. There are bagels that come in rainbow color. Ever heard of Lester’s Fixins? They’ll sell you soda thar tastes of buffalo wings. I come from a reality where nothing is off the table.

    And then some joker comes along and makes up fake shit that doesn’t even raise my eyebrows… I believed this was real with no reservations. How’s that supposed to make me feel?








  • It feels like a lot of the new vocabulary and discourse that has developed in recent years has revolved around the insidious idea that reality is a matter of opinion. We focus on “optics” and bandy about “narratives”, decry “fake news”. We’ve ceased to get or even expect journalism from the news, and we aren’t even surprised that flat earth screwballs still exist. We live in a world seemingly in retreat from the idea of objective truth as people talk about “my truth”. Words have meaning. Objective truth exists. We forsake it at our peril.

    Wrote this at 4 am so forgive the unhinged rant. Just finding the words for it now and it’s been bothering me lately.
