always tell stories

Founder’s note: For the better part of the past year I’ve been focused on contributing to TrumpFile.org—bearing witness to truth and facts while this “administration” runs roughshod over laws, traditions and democracy itself. Even though CrankyYank has been on extended hiatus, our 10-year anniversary is coming up in November. I’m planning some fun things that month. But for now, enjoy this urgent…

really hope @ScottGrimes & @SethMacFarlane join Bluesky so we can all bask in genius of American Dad together pic.twitter.com/pF9WAENc3B — Add me on BlueSky 🦋 (@bywillpollock) November 28, 2024 My friends, we gather here today to remember Twitter: the vibrant, flawed, rollicking Town Square that (like so many other once-fun media platforms prior) got hijacked by transnational mob and/or…

Yeah so, an election happened. Neat. The idea so many Americans affirmatively chose a twice-impeached felonious traitor who tried to overturn the election and stole secrets makes very little sense to me. And I (like many of my readers I’m sure) are experiencing acute PTSD from 2016. Over the past few months I took a break from CrankyYank to instead write for TrumpFile.org, an encyclopedia of…

In its desire for a horserace, American media is piling on the adult in the room. Nightly news broadcasts are unwatchable, and even some of my Trusted Newsers (see footer) have jumped on the “Biden leave” bandwagon. But even if you tune all that out, results on YouTube are even worse. So, yes, national media is suffering from amnesia, still and apparently forever, about how Casino Mobster…

confront @Mike_Pence & @KarenPence with microphones until you get an answer to borrow their parlance: IVF is, in fact, pro-life. 🎩 @ThatCat_TC https://t.co/gX5D9edzhD — Will's Media Reform School #DoBetter ⚖️ 🌻 (@bywillpollock) February 23, 2024 As most of Earth 1 knows by now, “pro life” (piously claimed by death-penalty fans and operatives cheering as pregnant women get charged with…

When my son started walking and talking, I used to sit him on my lap so he could play with Mona’s controls and pretend to drive. “I love Nomar!” he squealed. “You mean, Mona, right?” I asked, thinking back to the moment in France when I decided to name her after the character on “Friends,” who was the only girlfriend who could legiminately corral Ross. “No,” the excitable car nut said, firmly.…
