In response to the Annunciation school shooting, I wrote an essay for The Everyman looking into the issue of gun rights in a society where such things happen: First, these sorts of events always see politicians talking about the need for stricter ‘gun safety.’ Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was parroting this line even before bodies … Continue reading Talking Gun Rights on the Everyman

Shiver Me Timbers, Everyman
My latest piece is up on The Everyman, discussing the topic of Online Piracy. Online piracy is on the rise again, accounting, by some measures, for over a quarter of all internet downloads. This topic is usually spoken about in terms of the harm it does the economy, or jobs lost, or whether or not … Continue reading Shiver Me Timbers, Everyman
Talking ‘Lilo and Stitch’ at the Everyman
My latest Everyman piece is up, discussing the butchering of Lilo and Stitch and what it says about modern culture: If you were to tell me that Disney has recently released a live-action remake of one of their animated classics, and then were to tell me that it’s an abomination against man and God that … Continue reading Talking ‘Lilo and Stitch’ at the Everyman
‘Snow White’ at the Everyman
I knew I had to get a Snow White article out before the abomination leaves theaters (a deadline I think I've only just made, I'm glad to say). In this case I decided to tackle the idea of a covenant relationship as illustrated by the film: I genuinely believe that the Snow White remake is … Continue reading ‘Snow White’ at the Everyman
Marking Godzilla’s 70th Anniversary at the ‘Everyman’
The Godzilla series turned seventy years old this month, and I marked the occasion by writing a piece for The Everyman (which is now on Substack): There are few cinematic creations that achieve the status of genuine myth; of a tale embodying deep, complex truths about the world and of the civilization that gave them … Continue reading Marking Godzilla’s 70th Anniversary at the ‘Everyman’
Civil War Parallels at the Everyman
My first Everyman post in a while is now up. It's a foray into contemporary politics, looking for historical parallels. Specifically, I look at the likelihood of America dissolving into another civil war by comparing it to one of our previous ones: More and more the idea is in the air that the United States … Continue reading Civil War Parallels at the Everyman
At the Everyman: The Battle to Stop Killing Games
My first piece in a while is up at The Everyman, giving a rundown of Ross Scott's efforts to end the practice of killing games: In summary, video game companies are destroying the products that they have previously sold to their customers without providing any compensation. One does not have to be a gamer to … Continue reading At the Everyman: The Battle to Stop Killing Games
‘Spy x Family’ at the Everyman
My latest piece for The Everyman went up today, where I get to talk a bit about Spy x Family: Following a devastating conflict some decades prior, a tense cold war persists between the nations of “Westalis” and “Ostania” (fictionalized versions of West and Easy Germany circa the 1960s). Ace Westalis spy ‘Twilight’ works tirelessly … Continue reading ‘Spy x Family’ at the Everyman
My Take on the ‘Titan’ Disaster
My essay on the tragedy of the Titan went up today at The Everyman: But what makes the Titanic a legend is less the fact of her sinking than the boast that she was ‘unsinkable’. The blasphemous (possibly apocryphal) claim that ‘God Himself could not sink this ship,’ followed by her sinking on her maiden … Continue reading My Take on the ‘Titan’ Disaster
America’s Birthday at the Everyman
Happy Pentecost everyone! By an unexpected coincidence, on the Church's birthday I ended up with a post going up regarding America's birthday...though not the one you're probably thinking of: There is not space to explore all of these possibilities, so let us go straight to the official choice. The use of July 4th is really … Continue reading America’s Birthday at the Everyman
