  • My Predictions for 2026

    Yes, they are a little bleak. These aren’t my hopes or wishes. Just how I think the upcoming year will play out. And if I get half of these right, I expect to be hailed as a most perspicacious profit.

  • If you really want the world to know how banal and unimaginative you are, please post more slop. Start by replacing a word in some common term or cliché with an inelegant near-rhyme befitting a drunk toddler.

  • Thunder Enlightening
