So this last weekend a bunch of us gathered in a cabin in central Wisconsin to record another season of The Meatgrinder. Now, I know you're saying "Trae, you guys haven't released Season 6 yet, but you recorded Season 7 already?" And yeah, that's the situation. Season 6 will be [Read More]
The following is a short story set in the world of my Mia Graves novels I wrote while editing The Perfect Host. It takes place a few weeks after The Perfect Host, and contains some minor spoilers for Bloody Damn Rite. Besides the web version here, you can also download [Read More]
Yesterday I drove down to the Wisconsin Dells to have lunch with an old friend. Chris is arguably my oldest friend, and at the very least my oldest friend who I talk to with any regularity. We've known each other for a very long time, and he was the best [Read More]
This last weekend was the second Booked Eau Claire event, and my first time tabling at it. I volunteered there last year, so I knew what the vibes would be overall. I had a really good time at the event, and it gave me the opportunity to hang out with [Read More]
Like I said previously, I'm doing two cons in September, and I just got done with one of them. Eau Claire Comic Con went really well as always, and I had a great time. I was surprised that a couple of the people I usually see there didn't stop by [Read More]

So…wearing a short with a comedic take on why it’s not alright to burn things down that don’t belong to you because a criminal got caught is an international crime but it’s alright to use explosives to indiscriminately kill everything in a lake ??? rigghhhtttttt,..got it.
Well holy shit, I was not expecting an overt racist in the comments
Like jesus fucking christ, I cannot get over this comment.
We start with making the Musky Lives Matter shirt MORE racist than it is (it’s racist because it’s making light of the state killing black people because of a fish joke — it’s not actually intended as a commentary, and your “commentary” is a weird, fucked up interpretation of BLM).
Then you make an assumption about what Greg is talking about, which is somehow the least dumbass part of your comment — which is pretty fucking remarkable with how dumbass your comment is.
But then you finish it off by implying killing fish is WORSE than the state murdering innocent people. Like holy shit.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, your definition of ‘racist’ is completely and utterly wrong and throwing it anyone and everyone you can only makes you racist against the rest of the human race but that doesn’t matter now, does it ? Everyone has to bow to your inane definition or be accused of something you make up…please, I’ve dealt with real racism my entire life, not your pitiful attempt to manufacture something out of nothing. Please child, give yourself enough time on planet to understand things instead of just regurgitating the focus group approved catchphrase of the week…then ask the ‘blm’ crew for some of the millions they stole back, sell their mansions of you have to but try to use it for something good instead of just self aggrandizement and driving wedges between peoples instead of helping. Pity, I had hopes for this comic.
“Pity, I had hopes for this comic.”
Well I had hopes you wouldn’t be a racist asshole. Looks like we both get to be disappointed today.
Turn off the Fox News and maybe actually speak to actual black people once and a while. Fucking hell.
“What the hell you got in those things, Burt?”
“A couple of household chemicals in the proper proportions.”
Some days I’m delighted to live in an age with the internet and the vast amount of entertainment it brings. And some days I encounter other people of the internet, who I would have been content to never know existed.
Anyway, agreed, small towns are where you make your own fun.
