Welcome to The Way of The World
There’s a throwaway scene in the 2019 Romanian documentary Collective, where the country's new Minister of Health is watching a news show on television, and, at a podium, the mayor of Bucharest is denouncing the decision made by the administration to send patients to Vienna for transplant surgeries, and not maintain the patients in Romania … Continue reading Welcome to The Way of The World

Steam Whistle News Feed – July 14, 2023
I know it seems like I’m doomsday picking and preaching these days—that all I want is to talk about the most general and large-scale, worst-case scenario news headlines, and then cynically and half-assedly rattle them in your face like I’m some kind of know-it-all toddler who seems to get his jollies that way.

Steam Whistle News Feed – July 7, 2023
Reading the daily news disgusts me. There, I said it. It's reached the point of where I feel like I'm living out the abattoir metaphor whenever I do. Which I'm just making up, right now, but hear me out. Do you eat meat? And if you do, do you prepare it yourself—“harvest” it from scratch—or … Continue reading Steam Whistle News Feed – July 7, 2023

You know, you do a thing long enough, one which involves not only seeing much of the same dry, dull unpleasantness day in and day out—but also injustice, inequity, unfairness and various ways of indirect and direct silencing—and you start to get cynical. I’m starting to get cynical. Or maybe I’m just bored. I don’t … Continue reading Steam Whistle News Feed – June 9, 2023

My 18-year-old cat got mauled by a dog on Monday, so I don’t want to be d--king around too much this week. She’s going to be okay they tell me, eventually, but I’m going to try my best to cut through the crap of important/not-so-important news, because life is short. Especially for a cat.
