Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives. I have the comments section set for paid subscribers only, because I was getting cussed out by people who just drifted in. I figure if you’re going to call me a rat bastard, you can at least buy me a coffee.

Stay up-to-date

Anything I write will be mirrored here, no more searching through various media sites, looking for guest posts, and finding out I’ve been “throttled” or shadow-banned so you missed things.

Join the crew

We’re a piratical lot, much like “Porter’s Pirates” the nickname my first submarine crew carried with pride. We also received MUCs, (Meritorious Unit Citation) PUCs (Presidential Unit Citation) Battle Es and Expeditionary medals, so being piratical didn’t keep us from being successful. Come aboard, check in with the Chief of the Boat, and join me as we attack the hypocrites, and con men of the day.
