I am a human. I believe that there are more dogs than wolves because kindness and cooperation are evolutionary traits that provide the greatest opportunity for species success. Working together multiplies muscle mass and problem solving.

Vimeo is changing their terms of service. We looked at moving all of our videos to another service. All were either prohibitively expensive, or would post our work to streaming services, charging our fans $$$ and paying us nickels. So, they're all on YouTube now. Enjoy! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Questions I would love to hear asked by members of the White House Press Corp who have stopped caring about consequences: "Mr. President, is it true that between 1982 and 1988 you snorted your own body weight in cocaine?" Feel free to play along.

I like to believe it is possible for people to change, to grow, to become better. There is a great deal of evidence that I am delusional. But there is also Robert Downey Jr. He's not perfect. But he's better. And that's something. Here's to the people who are cleaning up their messy selves.

paladinsbargain.podbean.com/e/7-toll_hou... A Paladin's Bargain season two has released the first episode! Working with this cast and creative team has been delightful. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee. 🙂

It's the morning after the bank job. The team wakes up to discover new jobs to do and more riddles to solve, some of which they can't talk about. But all that has to wait when the town guard arrives, ...

As I pondered my "long term goal" of being a professional creative, making art to support my existence in our culture, I suddenly realized that I am about a decade from "retirement age". Which means in 10 years I can just focus on creativity. Of course, that's not what I had in mind. Whatever.

Given our somewhat feral nature, our natural curiosity and problem solving skills, our willingness to experiment, our desire to be supportive to our peers, and our elastic relationship with ideas like gender and personal expression, I'm going to go ahead and assert that Gen X is the best at sex.

Cesare Borgia was the primary model for the ideal ruler in Machiavelli's The Prince. True. Cesare Borgia was the model for modern "white Jesus". False, although some depictions may have used him as a model. Cesare Borgia was the first recorded medical treatment of syphilis. True. The more you know.

I was thinking that the current POTUS will probably be the last Boomer President we're forced to endure. So, that seems like progress. I fully expect Gen X to be largely skipped in executive level leadership on a national level. Which might be for the best. We're fucking feral.

Not sure how my obviously ridiculous hot take on Jolene somehow became a subject of anything other than a chuckle, but I guess that's the world now. I'd like to issue a formal apology to Dolly, her husband and Jolene. Your relationship is none of my business, even if you sing about it.

For immediate release: When Dolly is singing about how hot Jolene is, it's because she is smitten with Jolene. Dude isn't even named in the song... It's just a thinly veiled invitation to run away together. I will not be taking questions.

Television show idea: Donald Trump is held accountable, removed from office and goes to prison where he is followed around by a camera crew documenting how much he hates the food, and the beds, and he just complains and rambles and then I shut it off and sleep like a baby.

Yesterday while out for a walk with my wife some guy in the back seat of an extended cab truck yelled "faggot!", presumably at me. It's been over a quarter of a century since someone yelled at me like that. I said to Melissa, "He looks like a construction worker. Hope I get a chance to fire him."

On Saturday, September 6th I will be delivering the outlandishly titled talk "How to make the Tarot work 100% of the time". This will be at Horizon Lodge in Seattle. I've heard a rumor that we're going to record/post the video. So, watch for that! Also - be brave and kind. Thanks.
