One down, 207 to go…

Posted on January 28, 2017 by hbreck

Donald Trump has been President of the United States for one week now. Just typing that feels strange. Like a different reality. I’ve been re-watching episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine lately, and I’ve recently gotten to one of … Continue reading →

Yep, I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. You should, too.

Posted on November 8, 2016 by hbreck

Posted on October 10, 2016 by hbreck
