My 3rd Annual Sometimes Weekly Christmas Greeting
@sometimesweekly.com
Unlike AI, my typewriter has never lied to me
Trying to focus while there’s an active and ongoing genocide AND the super rich are training artificial intelligence to replace us (working class humans) is wild
I wrote about writing letters, which is something I’ve been doing recently: www.sometimesweekly.com/2025/07/on-w...
Funnily enough, I was just thinking about repositioning my B-2 bombers, as well.
And perhaps one day, I’ll learn what “SEO” is
Very happy with the latest iteration of SometimesWeekly.com. I’m still building the site for desktop, but the recent work has made the site much more mobile friendly. Slightly more organized and new navigation prompts at the end of (most) Entries.
Next up: long-overdue accessibility improvements.
But it seems I know the man well. Too well. I really wish he would leave me alone.
I recently documented my 16 Years of Winning vs. Donald Trump for Sometimes Weekly: sometimesweekly.com/2025/06/16-years-of-winning-vs-donald-trump/
On June 14, 2009, I faux quoted Trump as saying, “my decision in the end will be based off how much money I can make and I may say he can keep it, only to change my decision a few weeks later.”
The week of June 14, 2025 has been interesting.
16 years ago, when I was 16 years old, I wrote a satirical news article about Donald Trump deliberating over whether or not to decrown Iran’s president.
Luckily, my comedic deficiencies are largely masked by a strange prescience: web.archive.org/web/20090617...
I hope my reply reaches Zor’Pax
Here’s a different kind of article, similar to some of my earliest posts on @sometimesweekly.com.

How do they tunnel through, you ask?
Well,
Fun Fact: All roads on the path toward the destruction of democracy pass directly through Peter Thiel
The truth is, no one is going to defend democracy except the citizens of this country, sufficiently educated and prepared for where this could be headed.
Resist the beginnings. Consider the end.
What happened the day after the election? The night OF the election? The consultants disappeared. They needed to decide who to blame. They picked Biden. In 2016, it was something else.
But there’s one common denominator:
Obama-era technocrats.
If you’re good at undermining democracy and grifting, the right wing ecosystem has 100 homes for you. If you’re good at defending democracy, the Democratic consulting class keeps you at arms length, and provides no home, except every 2-4 years when they need your message for their grift
Me, as a kid: JD Salinger was a recluse — how weird!
Me, as an adult: JD Salinger was a recluse — makes sense!

Normalize asking television media personalities, including “objective” news anchors, what *they* think about an issue being discussed on TV.
Quality journalism is not meant to be faux-objective in the face of lies. Quality journalists in modern America should certainly have a perspective.

The following statement feels important and seems like it explains something, but I’m not exactly sure why or what:
Millennials grew up watching Emeril, while Gen Z grew up watching Guy Fieri
In October 2023, I attended RFK Jr’s third party announcement. What I observed was a prediction of our present moment and the beginning of a consolidation of ideologies toward a pro-authoritarian political movement. It’s one of my favorite pieces I’ve written: www.sometimesweekly.com/2023/10/fear...
Far from just a media problem, of course. A fetishization of “debate,” completely detached from any commitment to substantive values, is pervasive in academia as well, where “We can’t stop talking to them!” is constantly trumpeted as justification for inviting extremists to friendly fireside chats.
Utterly grotesque.
Neutrality theater journalism that treats both sides as the same, regardless of how extreme they are; a reflexive tendency to appease and acquiesce; pervasive reactionary, anti-“woke” impulses in the higher echelons of these institutions - all adding up to this. Shameful.
The Wikipedia page for Pope Sixtus, of which there are five. The next Pope to take the name Sixtus would be Pope Sixtus Vi
