ULTIMO EPISODIO 🔗

As California’s gubernatorial candidates, tech executives, and mayoral hopefuls continue to contemplate the mass unemployment anticipated from continued advances in artificial intelligence, they would do well to look back at the state’s landmark 1850 legislation as a potential roadmap for handling …

EPISODI PRECEDENTI

The creation of this ephemeral under-clicked content required 27 hours so I’m not going to talk about it. Enjoy! Except, well… here’s a great detail that did not make it in the mini-doc: After annihilating the federal parks budget, President Ronald Reagan was so desperate to dredge the money to pu…
In June 2005, I was ejected from my high school graduation ceremony at Patrick Henry High in San Diego, where I was wearing a white robe, having one of the top GPAs in my graduating class, for screaming the words “F**k US Imperialism.” The principal withheld my diploma. I think of that afternoon o…

Mountains of Madness

Short of the great flooded valleys—the damming of Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite, which nearly drove John Muir to suicide, or the flooding of Glen Canyon Dam that created Lake Powell, burying 190-miles of the most fantastic sculpted desert canyons on earth under six-hundred feet of water—there remains pr…
While the drunk t-ball coaches who never found the clit wear masks like f*****g cowards as they hunt Mexicans in unmarked GMC Suburbans across American cities—occasionally shooting soccer moms in the face—I thought I’d make a fun informative video about this important overlooked historical site dow…

Argumentum Ad Baculum

Have you ever heard of the BACULUM? It’s the perfect holiday gift! It’s all natural, affordable, and sure to spark fun family conversation about the FALL of MAN. It’s also dredges up a bit of abysmal trivia I’ve dropped to no avail in a few unpublished essays over the years—trivia which I share no…
Back in 2018 when Christina ruined my life by telling me she would kill me (by castration) if I wrote about the 1959 nuclear meltdown in Los Angeles at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory—the largest nuclear meltdown in US history—I lied to her and told her that I would not actually make my new book …
Did you know that Joshua Tree National Park was founded on Halloween Day, 1994? It’s almost as if federal government had some inkling of the vast hate once heaped upon the lowly, humble, “demoniacal” Joshua Tree. The strange saga of Joshua Tree antipathy was largely forgotten until, well, I dug it…
For years I’ve wanted to say something about P-22, formerly the world’s most famous mountain lion (RIP-22). And, well, I finally got around to it—albeit in the form of a deranged 3 minute Instagram Reel, created largely in the hopes of improving my numbers on social media so that I might eventuall…
On Monday, it came to my attention that one of the most prominent journalists in Southern California, Gustavo Arellano, lifted the contents of the viral Reel I shared with you and thousands of other people last week. My El Aliso Instagram Reel, viewed 23,000 times, with a total watch time of 127 h…
