Posted on May 16, 2023 by Nathan

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Whiny

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Nathan

Indefensible Day

Posted on July 4, 2022 by Nathan

Religious Order in the Court

Posted on June 26, 2022 by Nathan

I’m sure what we all really need right now is a middle-aged white man weighing in on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. But really, do any of my opinions matter in the grand scheme of things? I’ve seen … Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2021 by Nathan

I’ve had some of these book reviews already written for a while, and I’ve finished a few more books, so I think it’s time to put the finishing touches on this post. City of the Plague God, by Sarwat Chadda … Continue reading →

Posted on May 20, 2021 by Nathan

There’s Only Three Real Monsters

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Nathan

Has Boxing Been Good to You?

Posted on February 21, 2021 by Nathan

Three movie reviews this time, with SPOILERS for all of them. Compliance – This is a movie recommended by Beth’s cousin Dorothea, and it’s very difficult to watch, but not because it’s badly made. A guy calls a busy fast … Continue reading →
