Latest essay from "The Copagandists" is up! We're diving deep this time into the politics of "Highway Patrol" - which necessitated a lot more talk about "traffic carnage" than I initially expected! (Would love for Not Just Bikes to cover the politics at play here!) open.substack.com/pub/owensyme...

Perfect double feature: Friendship (2025) and Frankenstein (1931). Both are about a person desperate for human connection but whose actions only lead to violence, tragedy, and self annihilation.

When I was a teen I read "The Sling and the Stone," a book about asymmetrical warfare. I then applied some of its lessons to the videogame Star Wars: Rebellion, flooding the Empire w spies, saboteurs, & revolts while I built a fleet on the rim. It worked! So, I basically wrote Andor. You're welcome!

Interesting that Biden's cancer is no doubt being treated by state-funded medical care. Yet he vowed to veto #medicare4all if it ever crossed his desk. This is who he is: narcissistic. This is the man who allowed Palestine to burn. No one deserves cancer; Biden deserves health - and prison time.
