Vacation Mode
I’m off work this week. I’ve decided to take it completely off: no post, no real writing. Just having a break, after having an intense few months. Everyone needs slack.

Guns and Guilt
Larry Correia re-posted his previous gun control, and I responded to a liberal commenter with the below blockquote. I am mostly saving this here for my own reference for a few ideas I want to flesh out. Edward Trimnell also took on Scalzi’s guilt by association post. I have nothing to add, there.

Surrounding Myself with Happy People And Media
Depressing people are a cancer in your life. Depressing media eats away at you. I’m working to avoid both. There’s nothing good to be had by surrounding yourself with bleak and depressing thoughts.
