• Same Damn Lie, Different Election

    I don’t give a flying rat’s ass how you vote, but I’ll tell you how I do. Been doing this long enough– since 1980–and there is one thing I’ve figured out, it’s that every damned election, local or national, boils down to two things, money and whether the U.S. Constitution still means a goddamned thing.…

  • Whiskey, Dust, and a Dog’s Love

    I might be what the world calls a fucking drunk, but at least I know one thing—I would fucking die before I let my dog starve. He’s the only creature in this godforsaken universe who gives a shit about me. I would rather rot in a ditch than see him go without. You don’t like…

  • Lake Tahoe Regional Evacuation Plan Open for Public Comment

    A new Lake Tahoe Regional Evacuation Plan is open for public comment following efforts by local fire chiefs, law enforcement, and emergency management personnel across Nevada and California and five counties. The 185-page document uses insights from previous experiences during future wildfire evacuations in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The plan provides critical evacuation information addressing…

  • Dave the Pigeon

    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,…

  • Whiskey Alter

    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…

  • Assembly Candidates Bipartisan Pledge Questioned

    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…

  • In the Shadow of the Lighthouse’s Gaze

    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…

  • Bay Area Activists Canvass for Nevada Democrats

    A recent CBS News report revealed that a nonprofit from the Bay Area, Seed the Vote, has been sending activists to Nevada to canvass on behalf of Nevada Democrats and the Harris-Walz campaign. Seed the Vote, a project of the Everyday People PAC, has over 1,000 volunteers with plans to increase that number to 3,000…

  • Dark Spirits

    He sat at the bar, glaring into his glass as if it were a half-assed debt he couldn’t shake. A cocktail—some pretentiously dark mix of bitters and citrus—something he would never order. But it was free, courtesy of some poor bastard lost to the grip of pretense. The ice, round, floated there, a lump of…

  • Joie de Vivre

    The two women arrived in Virginia City like a pair of misplaced aces in a rigged poker game. Their attire? Let’s just say they’d raided the clearance rack at the Devil’s Dress Emporium. Red and black, their dresses clung to them like desperate lovers—nylons twisted, corsets protesting, and lacy pantaloons threatening to reveal secrets best…
