THE GREAT AMERICAN FUNHOUSE: A Gonzo Gospel of Grift, Missiles, and the Great Ungluing
WEEKLY DISPATCH: May 24 - 31, 2026 The air out here on the coast is thick with sea salt, but the wind blowing across the continent from Washington smells distinctly of sulfur, ozone, and a burning Constitution. If you’ve been wandering through The Great American Funhouse with me this week, you already know the mirrors are warped, the floorboards are rotting, and the carnival barkers are currently picking your pockets while you stare at the flashing lights.

Is The Rise of Peter Pan Syndrome the New Normal?
Growing up used to follow a fairly predictable timeline. We saw people graduate from school, find stable jobs, move out, get married, and start families, often before the age of thirty.

Nowadays, it’s a totally different story; we have been met with overwhelming demand for individuals who are now showing signs of a crisis that has become more prevalent, which is known as “Peter Pan Syndrome.” Recently, I’ve heard more people mention Peter Pan syndrome.

THE GREAT AMERICAN FUNHOUSE: A WEEKLY DISPATCH FROM THE COLLAPSE
GREAT AMERICAN FUNHOUSE WEEKLY DISPATCH: May 17-24 Welcome to this weeks edition of the GREAT AMERICAN FUNHOUSE where I objectively analyze the terminal stages of the American experiment.

It sounds like the frantic snorting of a "Law and Order" czar in a green room, and the soft, repetitive chanting of a public that has traded its intellectual agency for the soothing, warm embrace of a digital participation trophy. All neatly packaged and delivered through the personal 3x5-inch digital windows to the world, each one of us has in our pockets.
