blade or die

I am both annoyed and frightened for my own safety. People have threatened to kill me for my prior investigative journalism, but never in my days have I experienced such a clever, patient, and vindictive mind. I shall get the petty annoyances out of the way before I guide you through a diabolical plot so […]

Whoa. Big things going on. Let’s get to it. WRS Uploaded If you’re awesome, you’ve been paying attention to the new final competition of the World Rolling series at wrsuploaded.com. Skaters from around the world having been competing via one-minute edits on spots of their choosing. It truly is awesome to see what people are […]

There is nothing more deplorable than a society who justifies the use of “less-than-lethal” tactics on people who sit on the ground. We’ve all seen the news: protestors shot by riot cops in Oakland, pepper-sprayed in New York and on the U.C. Davis campus, and so on. They occupy the same public grounds and college […]

You, my friend, are a slave. Yes, I know you rest your head in the land of the free and home of the brave and you’ve pledged your allegiance to it daily as a school boy, but you are just as much a slave as the dark-skinned men and women our forefathers used to build […]

Sorry to anyone who reads this. It’s been a hectic few weeks putting out books, selling that shit, celebrating that shit, and taking care of man-business shit. But, alas, in the few spare moments I have had, I have been thinking about what’s been going on. Really, with the few remaining brain cells that refuse […]
