Carrion, Part 4
Bryce Chesterton took a moment to catch his breath. Strangling someone to death was hard work, even if they couldn’t put up much of a fight. After he had some air in his lungs, he got to work. Bryce pushed Richard Maseuchy’s bloated, doughy corpse out of the way. He reached into his bag and Continue reading

Carrion, Part 3
The meeting Richard Maseuchy had requested with management wasn’t going nearly as well as he had imagined it would. What he intended to be a redressing of his grievances with his treatment at the company had turned into a conga line of middle managers and department heads berating him. All he could do was stand Continue reading

Carrion, Part 2
Richard Maseuchy was still seething about the comment his supervisor had made to him earlier in the day. Nobody else seems to be having these problems, Rich. He knew for a fact management was giving him low quality samples. They hated him, but they couldn’t say it to his face, so they played little childish Continue reading

Carrion, Part 1
Wardell Egilhart stumbled down a hallway of the station, one hand cupped to his nose and mouth trying to staunch the flow of blood pouring out of them. His other hand he had pressed against the station’s bulkhead, partly to steady himself as he fled, and partly to guide him. Blue light had seared itself Continue reading

What is Woke?
Pictured: a woke. Much effort has been spent trying to define what “wokeness” is. And what good is a right wing blog if it doesn’t have a go doing the same? Almost every definition falls somewhere within the orbit of propagating progressive politics. Given the very nature of progressive politics, getting at a concrete definition Continue reading

What is Art?
Pictured: a art. One of the most powerful mental tools I’ve ever learned to use is to carefully distinguish various concepts that people generally tend to run together. Doing this makes it easier to understand issues, and to find out where problems really lay, if anywhere. A great example of concepts that get run together Continue reading

Thalansarii: Genetic Wonderworkers
The Thalansarii and their empire are among the most influential groups in the galaxy, both within the Stellar Republic and without. While they posses sizable armies and fleets, they are hesitant to use them, preferring instead to broker influence and exercise soft power. Financial control, regulatory capture, tariffs, bureaucratic red tape, propaganda, and other less-than-savory Continue reading

Incongruent Premises
A video popped up on my feed from YouTuber Riloe. His video talks about a game whose name I don’t remember, but it’s a post-apocalyptic extraction shooter where the NPC enemies are too busy fighting each other to worry too much about you. Here’s an imbed of the video: The genre description looks promising, the Continue reading
