Welcome!

This site is a place for me to write and think in public.

Over the years, it’s gone back and forth between public and private. I’m making it public again because I want a space to share ideas, reflections, and updates without handing them over to social media platforms or trying to compress everything into algorithms, outrage, or engagement metrics.

Here you’ll find writing about politics, religion, culture, and life more broadly. Sometimes it’s analytical. Sometimes it’s personal. Often it’s me working through things in real time.

While I am the owner of Tines Capital, the views expressed on this website are strictly personal and do not represent the positions or opinions of Tines Capital. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice.

This space is intentionally looser and more human. It’s for opinions, observations, frustrations, clarity, and course corrections. I don’t promise neutrality, perfection, or consistency. I do try to be honest.

If you find something here useful, interesting, or thought-provoking, you’re welcome to follow along. If not, that’s completely fine too. I wish you well either way.

Thanks for stopping by.
