First off, for those who have tried to visit BraveHumans in the past couple of days only to find a Verio page, my apologies. The glitch was not due to any kind of malicious attack, but rather simply Verio shuffling servers. It turns out they switched things before the news of the changed […]
This is just an initial placeholder. There has been some talk on reddit about how congress doesn’t listen when we write them. So here is an initial place to put an archive of what we write to congress, and what congress writes back.

Happy Halloween gentle readers.
I’m not familiar with the customs in other parts of the world, but here in the United States Halloween is a time for costumes and trick-or-treat. It is also a time when we bring out many of our fears, real or imagined, about death, spooks, and spirits. It is a […]
