Wikidworld #185 / I'm changing the name. Welcome to Catholicpunk.

Catholicpunk is a cool name that evokes more of the medieval, rape-and-pillage, crusading, edgelord vibe these guys are now gorging themselves on.

This will be short but I wanted to let you guys know that going forward, Wikidword will be called Catholicpunk. Which I think is a cool name that evokes more of the medieval, rape-and-pillage, crusading, edgelord vibe these guys are now gorging themselves on. I don’t know. If you want to put a face to Catholicpunk as a cultural phenomenon, imagine Steve Bannon.

The election has been cathartic and liberating for me. All is now clear. I aim to go hard, because it seems to me everything is at stake, and so how can we do otherwise?

By going hard, I don’t mean channeling my anger and distress into attacking and judging others. That’s too easy. We are past the time for that.

I mean channeling this energy into being hard-nosed in my curiosity and demanding a lot of myself in terms of what I think and write, while also responding to my adversaries with appropriate levels of sarcasm, irony, satire, and derision.

Anyway. I’m flying back from Berlin as I write and am excited to press forward tomorrow morning.
