Dear Big Guy Upstairs, I know you’re up there—lounging on your celestial recliner, sipping cosmic coffee, and watching reruns of the Big Bang. Or maybe you’re busy untangling the strings of fate, like a celestial cat playing with yarn. Now, I’ve got effing questions. Listen, I’ve got a bone to pick with you. Yeah, me—poet,…

An effort by Nevada Rep. Steven Horsford to censure Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana for allegedly making racist remarks about illegal Haitian aliens was stopped by GOP leadership. Higgins posted comments on social media, describing Haitians in derogatory terms. In his now-deleted post on X, Higgins referred to Haitians as “wild,” accused them of “eating…

Adventuring across Nevada is a quiet and lonely thing. The Silver State doesn’t speak much. It stretches itself out, empty and still, like the soul of a man who’s gone too long without saying what’s on his mind. That evening, I was driving State Route 140, heading out of Winnemucca. Denio had come and gone,…

Here now, I find myself in a most peculiar predicament, having spent the weekend in Virginia City, and–odd as it may sound–nothing happened. That’s right, absolutely nothing. There was not a bit of excitement, no ruckus’, not even a tumbleweed rolling down C Stree to liven up the place. You might think that a newspaperman,…

He came to, face-down in the alley, a thick layer of vomit glued to his cheek. The world spun around him like some sick, twisted joke. His head pounded with a hangover so vicious it felt like someone had taken a bat to his skull. He coughed, gagging as the taste of bile hit the…

Nevada Democratic Party-endorsed candidate for the open seat in Assembly District 4, Ryan Hampton has positioned himself as a “fierce bipartisan advocate,” vowing to end “toxic politics” and pursue solutions for Nevada’s middle class. However, his recent appearance on a podcast hosted by Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson has raised concerns about his claims of…

The old lighthouse stood sentinel on the jagged cliffs, its single eye piercing the fog. Its keeper, Elias Thorne, had inherited the duty—a legacy of madness passed down through generations. The villagers spoke of Thorne’s ancestors in hushed tones, their eyes darting toward the sea. Elias had studied the ancient texts—the ones hidden in the…
