corruption

A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.

Learning Abuse is Okay. Content Warning.
My coparent and I agreed on when our children would call me. A schedule because he said that I was interfering with his parenting time. Our children have long called me twice a day if I wasn't physically available to them. I understand how much my ex hates it, but hey, I hate things too - it is called putting our children first.

Miniature Mind Musings #11:
Are there infinite levels to this lowness, or is there a sale on somewhere? Blink for one minute… Sheesh! I don’t think words like “politics” or “leadership” are gonna be definitions that leave the masses feeling all warm and fuzzy inside anymore for a long time.

It Is Over. Content Warning.
For the people who are still in power, the truth is hard but simple: young people are no longer listening. This is not because they are lazy, careless, or disrespectful. It is because they are tired, disappointed, and emotionally disconnected. Something has broken between the leaders and the young generation, and pretending everything is normal will not fix it.

The Night a Song Brought Me Back to Myself
I didn’t watch the special for the spectacle. I watched because I needed to hear the song again. Not the version from the movie trailer or the TikTok clip. The one that lived in my bones—the one I’d hummed under my breath during chemo, during layoffs, during the long winter after my divorce. The song that said: It’s okay to be different. It’s okay to fall. It’s okay to rise anyway.

The Day the Stadium Felt Like Church
I wasn’t born into fandom. I was adopted into it. At ten years old, I didn’t understand offside rules or midfield rotations. I only knew that every Sunday, my grandfather would take my hand, walk me three blocks to the edge of the stadium, and sit with me on a cracked concrete step—just outside the gates, where the roar of the crowd bled into the street like a hymn.

The San Francisco Blackout Was Not a Market Failure. It Was the Inevitable Result of a “Frankenstein” Utility.
I spent the last week of 2025 sitting in my apartment in the Sunset district, watching the fog roll in and the temperature drop, while my refrigerator became a graveyard for a $200 grocery run. While the rest of the country was celebrating, San Francisco was plunged into a 72-hour darkness that felt less like a modern metropolis and more like a decaying relic.

Protecting the Enemy
According to various writings, Sun Tzu, one of the greatest military minds according to many, was in a difficult situation. His army was greatly outnumbered and he had to do something quickly or lose all. His solution was to move his army to a place he would term as a dead space. This was because it was a spot which was far from allies and support. There were no nearby refuges, supplies, or help of any kind. His soldiers were truly on their own. He was counting on his soldiers to understand the desperation of their situation. He wanted them to understand that there was no help, no cavalry to save the day. Only way to survive would be to fight like they had never fought before.
