Today, I witnessed something historic and beautiful. Millions of people around the world came together in solidarity to speak out against a clear and present danger to free people everywhere. This isn’t about politics; it’s about basic human decency. People may ask themselves what good it does to walk around in the streets holding signs,…
Stop using politics as an excuse to get out of adult conversations.

I posted this to YouTube exactly one decade ago today. It has amassed almost a quarter million views during that time, so it is really hard for me to delete it even though it has nothing to do with my channel.
Everything you need to know about @realDonaldTrump is that he believes @CNN is “fake news” but @PrisonPlanetTV is actual journalism.

I take great comfort in the fact that, regardless of what the brainwashed masses may think, Obama will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in American history.

I shared this video on YouTube exactly one decade ago today. I had no idea at the time what YouTube would become or what it would mean to me ten years later. It’s no longer listed publicly on my channel, but it’s still available to view right here.
This is probably my favorite tweet of the year.

Before she became a tomb raider, Lara Croft had to learn how to survive. This short but compelling vignette is based on the trailer for 2013 game Tomb Raider and features music by Two Steps from Hell. This version is the first draft, so it’s not quite perfect yet. I need to finish putting the…

Please note: This is an incomplete rough draft. First of all, I officially nominate Two Steps from Hell‘s “High C’s” from the album Vanquish for song of the year. Words like “epic” get thrown around far too often, but artistic works like this one truly define the concept. From the roaring horns to the soaring…

Two Steps from Hell recently released another album, and it continues the tradition of truly magnificent scores of the past several years. Though the album landed in the final month of 2016, I’d say that “High C’s” is probably the lead contender for song of the year. But more on that later. For now, take…

In a recent discussion about Bernie Sanders, someone said that he could never have been elected because he was a self-avowed socialist. I called that into question, and (of course) the person responding conflated communism and socialism. After some back-and-forth, they brought up the often-repeated idea that the United States defeated communism. To which I…
Rioting is criminal. Protesting is honorable. Stop conflating the two. A lot of people fought and died for that right.

I’d like to thank everyone who has quietly allowed me to verbally work through the insanity of the past 24 hours. I needed the catharsis far more than you needed to chide me for doing so. I’m not sure if it was intentional or due to Facebook’s peril-sensitive algorithms, but I appreciate it nonetheless. I’m…
