“Police States Love Chaos and Order” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Saved by Zero? I note a few bizarre police-state-like trends these days -- and the odd Vision Zero program here in NYC -- in today’s column.

“Don’t Talk to the Animals: Nor the Ghosts, Etc.” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I lament in today’s SpliceToday column that Koko the gorilla, little boys in comas, and a lot of other nonsense gets listened to by a gullible public.

“Buchanan Pulling Ahead!” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Populists may yet win, two decades after Pat Buchanan’s efforts to take over the GOP, if Trump and even Sanders’ rhetoric is any indication, I write in today’s column.

“Gender Dystopia: No Winning Move” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

From androgynous clothes that aren’t gendered enough for the transgender people to feminists against Bowie, you will never keep the activists happy, I write.

“Cruz the Debater: But Paul’s Not Dead” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Love Rand Paul but gotta conclude after his absence and Ted Cruz’s cross-faction appeal in last night’s debate that Cruz is right now the only hope to stop Trump, I say in today’s column.

“Ten Troubling Nations” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Saudi, China, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Antarctica, and more -- all terrible, and some about to be overrun by massive raping hordes, as I explain in today’s column.

“State of the Unions” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I note the Senate failing to pass Rand Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, the President speaking, and the Supreme Court sounding admirably skeptical about public sector union dues, in today’s column.

“Bowie: Loving the Alien” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I reflect on a small fraction of the strange things David Bowie meant to me, two days after his death, in my daily column.

Economist Robin Hanson’s forthcoming book imagines the social implications of being able to copy existing human minds more easily than we can build artificial ones completely from scratch, as I write in today’s column.

“Florence King Is Dead, Roy Batty Is Born” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I write in today’s column of the passing of a great, notorious “misanthrope” and the incept date of a fictional replicant.

“Gary Johnson Enters Presidential Race” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

No, seriously, consider the Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson for this year’s presidential election -- because, as I write on SpliceToday, America needs an adult right now.

“BLM vs. BLM: Black Lives and Land Use Matter” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

You can at least sympathize with both anti-cop and anti-government-land-monopolization protestors, I write.

“#TrumpTruths vs. #ClintonUFO” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Among thirteen conspiracies mentioned in my column today are two that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would like to expose, so for the next few days I invite readers to tweet at me with the hashtag of the one they’d prefer the next president expose.

“Shooting Holes in Constitutions” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

From Obama to the government of Venezuela, I see threats to constitutional thinking, I write in today’s column.

“New Year, New World Order” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday
