“Conventional Warfare” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

The push by some anti-Trump Republicans to nominate Gen. James Mattis at the convention is odd, I write in today’s column (but I am more focused on tomorrow’s Libertarian Party of New York, at which I’ll moderate a debate between the leading LP presidential candidates, and you can watch at Facebook.com/NowThisElection from about 2:15-4pm Eastern).

“Earth vs. Trump” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Globalism was our forte, man, and now the populists on the right, such as Trump, want to withdraw from the world with a snarl, I lament in today’s column.

“Nesting Pols” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Even “New York values” (as the guy I voted for put it) are sufficiently diverse and unpredictable that very different candidates get elevating from borough to borough, I observe in today’s post-post-primary column.

“Trump Fans: The Ultimate Cucks” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Some Trump fans can’t resist likening non-Trump fans to losers who enjoy being abused -- but has there ever been a more manifestly abusive and unreliable politician than Trump, I ask in today’s column? Might Trump fans enjoy being “cuckolded”?

“Political Singularity Nears” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Most political factions used to talk about “gradualism” as the reasonable approach to political change -- but I write in today’s column that I’m not so sure we can talk about gradual change anymore in a world that transforms so rapidly.

“Hollywood: Apocalypse” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

For good or ill, half of director Roland Emmerich’s oeuvre comes not from mainstream eco-concerns but from “ancient astronaut” theories such as those of Graham Hancock, as I note in my column today.

“Looks Like Zoe Quinn Is #GamerGate” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Like most people, I can barely follow the complex battles between online feminists and online anti-feminists such as #GamerGate, but it appears one of the most prominent of the feminists, Zoe Quinn, may herself be a harasser trying to take down female rivals pseudonymously, I note in today’s column.

“4/20” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Aren’t today’s celebrations a clearer statement of individual liberty than the nonsensical primaries that occurred yesterday, I ask in today’s column?

“#NeverHope” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I’m not sure why I keep trying, but I suppose I’ll vote in the Republican primary today, as I write in today’s column, casting a futile New York protest vote for Cruz, even as a Temple of Baal replica rises menacingly in Times Square.

“Politics as Jedi Mind Trick” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of me co-founding the use of the V for Vendetta mask in protests, apparently, but it’s Jabba the Hutt who may dominate politics in the end, I write.

“Lion and Lamb” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

In this column, I write that I suspect seemingly absurd moments of interspecies empathy such as Toronto’s impromptu shrine to a dead raccoon may in fact hold the key to a more compassionate future.

“Cowards, Cads” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

As the Alison Rapp scandal unfolds, think how funny it is feminists’ filter systems keep doing the same thing non-feminists’ filter systems do: weeding out the cowardly and rewarding the savage brutes, I write in today’s column.

“The Bully-Nerd Coalition” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

After being reminded when I was on Gavin McInnes’s show yesterday that libertarians like me tend to be nerds, I assure the world in my column today that I am aware of that problem -- and indeed aware that nerds at their worst are not so terribly unlike jock bullies, ironically.

“Libertarianism for Beginners” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

The book is out today -- and the column about, for Beginners beginners, is up as well. So too Gerard Perry’s review.

“Coup-F-O: In Defense of Aliens, Latinos, and Hillary Clinton” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Hillary Clinton, but neither her support for the ouster of Honduras’s President Zelaya nor advisor John Podesta’s legitimate interest in UFOs should be among them, I write.

“THINK v TROLL” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

From the campuses to Glasgow, free speech is out of fashion, which is unfortunate, since speech was the one freedom I thought we all agreed was precious, I write.

“Water Tunnel, Water Travel” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

NYC suffers simultaneous ambiguity over the pace of Water Tunnel No. 3 and whether de Blasio’s businessmen associates bribed cops, I write.

“A Delegate Balance” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

There are two basic political factions in this world -- or so they keep telling us, but the confusion over the current presidential campaign is one small reminder it’s actually a much more complex, multivariable world, I write.

“Lake of Eternal Fire” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I worry in today’s column that even thoughtful writers such as Eli Lake accept parts of the interlocking system of foreign wars, refugees, angry militants, welfare, and domestic surveillance we seem to have constructed for ourselves.

“Government and Woman at Yale” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Moving to Florida and joining a sorority might do Yale some good, I write.

“April Fools in November” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Remember that professional wrestling veteran Trump -- much like Hillary Clinton -- likes having colorful villains to work with, I warn in today’s column.
