Chrome is the Antitrust Problem, Selling It is Not the Solution

By Timothy R. Butler | Apr 24, 2025 at 1:00 AM

Google is worse than Microsoft ever was. With a stranglehold on search and online advertising, backed with an Orwellian surveillance of users, dominating the browser market is too much. The solution cannot be to sell Chrome to OpenAI, however.

Sede Vacante

By Dennis E. Powell | Apr 23, 2025 at 11:25 PM

Pope Francis has died. We should all pray for his eternal rest and that perpetual light shine upon him, as we should for everyone who leaves this life, both as a spiritual work of mercy and in hope that having reached Heaven, in part through our prayers, he will intercede for us.

The President Points to Jesus, So Why Am I Conflicted?

By Timothy R. Butler | Apr 17, 2025 at 12:38 AM

Is it acceptable to admit I’m conflicted? In our polarized society, it may not be, but I am. I’m talking about the president’s Easter Declaration and feel utterly conflicted about it.

The Plastic Pandemic

By Dennis E. Powell | Apr 16, 2025 at 11:23 PM

It was interesting to note over the last few days the noise being made by the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that he’s going to put to the test every crackpot notion he’s ever had or heard of to bring an end to the “epidemic” of autism.

The Revolving White House Asylum

By E. Ryan Haffner | Apr 09, 2025 at 8:25 PM

Sanity. That is all most Americans want. Neither political party is willing to humor us and that makes them equal owners of our ongoing plunge.

Under Water

By Dennis E. Powell | Apr 08, 2025 at 5:51 PM

If you live anywhere there is weather, you should probably have a weather radio. This is a bespoke device that renders the weather forecast, if that interests you, at the push of a button. But its real purpose is to make alarming noise when bad weather approaches, so that you might spend your final minutes lamenting that you have no basement. We had four days of, first, terrible storms then endless rain beginning a week ago tonight.

By Timothy R. Butler | Apr 02, 2025 at 11:04 PM

My recent column on Apple’s declining software quality hit a nerve. So why do any of us put up with software that grows increasingly buggy? One word: hardware.

Crunchy Mothman

By Dennis E. Powell | Apr 02, 2025 at 10:04 PM

It’s a mystery. Yesterday, as I do from time to time, I stopped in at Coonskin Crossing, the country gas station and convenience store in Amesville. Looking around and as always wondering what it was about a Chinese virus that doubled the price of potato chips, I saw something I didn’t expect.

The False Compassion of Universalism

By Jason Kettinger | Mar 26, 2025 at 10:17 PM

I’ve only heard nonsense from David Bentley Hart. He tries to cloak an argument for universal salvation in Christian language, an endeavor popular to our cultural ears and foreign to God’s Words.

Smart Phones, Stupid People

If it were a situation comedy — “The Office” comes to mind — there would be delight and hilarity in watching the now-faded orange man and the clown car holding his alleged national security officials zooming around in search of an excuse for their breathtaking incompetence.
