The Big Hang Up

 March 8, 2026

   Working with others to find the truth is one of the greatest joys of my life.

   Yes, these crazy Old West loving "kids," posing on Allen Street where an odd altercation the night before threatened the well-being of that big mouth on the far right, are from my tribe. Two of them have since passed, one of them helped me save True West and all of them made me laugh.

The Big Hang Up

   According to several thought pieces I have seen in the last 48 hours, there is a growing evacuation from this site. And by "this site" I mean Social Media and the Internet in general. Several million, mostly millennials, have abandoned their iphones and have become "Homesteaders." And by Homesteaders, I mean they have ditched their iphones and moved to small towns—3,000 inhabitants and under—in an effort to escape the obliteration of our species via doom scrolling and our growing addiction to click bait and troll culture. Wow. Good luck with all that.
