Hiatus Interruptus




posted on 11/13/2018 by the Salt City Sinner
Once upon a time when I was but a lad, I managed to contract pneumonia. I won’t go into all the juicy, phlegmy details, but suffice it to say that it was no picnic. By the time I began to get better, I was thoroughly sick of being sick and ready to get back to all the urgent dumbassery that younger me no doubt was up to. Silly me! Just when I thought I was all healed up, the pneumonia came roaring back, feistier and nastier than ever.

Think of this humble bloggue as a persistent bacterial infection of the soul. Just when it seems like I’ve been expunged, hey presto, I’m back! (This has happened before and probably will happen again.)

So! Let’s get right to it. What can you, the discerning degenerate, expect in the coming days?

 
salutations!

Satan Loves Me, This I Know

Since I’ve come out of the closet as a Satanist (I’m a card-carrying member of the Satanic Temple, although my affiliation predates our particular sect/organization), I get asked a lot of questions, from the basic (“Do you worship Satan?” …. Quick answer, no, but we’ll get to that) to the complicated (“Why is the Satanic Temple big mad at the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina?”). I’ll take a whack at answering them! Pursuant to that, if you have any questions: please ask them!





The Sinner’s $.25 Psychic Self Defense and Literature Review

I’ve read – and continue to read – a few books that I think are particularly salient to these troubled times in which we live, and I’d love to infect you with that knowledge as well! Lucky you!

First up, I’ll be featuring the Fourth Political Ideology (Четвертая политическая теория) by Aleksandr Dugin, who has some pretty far-out ideas about a glorious return to the Middle Ages, and the Reactionary Mind by Dr. Corey Robin, who has some not-entirely-far-out ideas about the psycho-theoretical underpinnings of conservative political thought. After that, we’ll move on to the lighter side of things with Dr. Robert Lifton’s Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of “Brainwashing” in China.

Welcome to Utah, Mitt

A guide for new Utahns who might need a hand – where to eat, the happening night-spots, places for human automatons to recharge their lithium cells, anything that Mitt Romney might not know but want to know about his new home!

I’ll be updating this thing as rigorously as I can – if nothing else, the glowing coals of my misanthropy should keep me warm through the winter months, right? Right?

Right.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

The Garden Is Dead, Long Live The Garden

posted on 8/30/2015 by the Salt City Sinner  The last two times that I wrote about gardening, the tone was uncharacteristically less “playful whimsy” than “agonized demon howl.” This is with good reason. The cockroach-hearted fauxhemian Whole Foods crowd at Wasatch Community Gardens, you see, did a terrible thing to me and many other people – they decided that agreements are for suckers and that what the world really needs is another blighted patch of asphalt rather than a large and vibrant community garden, and so they killed my garden (and the gardens of many others) dead, dead, dead. Forgive my bitterness: there is something about loving a patch of actual soil, about nurturing life from tiny green shoots to a luxurious canopy of flowers and vegetables that brings out a protective streak in a human being, and also a ferocious loyalty. The destruction of Sugar House Community Garden did not, however, end my gardening career – heavens, no! Instead, I and a handful of

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

  I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.
