The Hourly Struggle is dedicated to the pursuit of truth in a sea of willful ignorance. It’s for those of us who hate politics and the constant fighting over our culture, but can’t seem to escape it.
No team. No script. I call out whoever earns it, and I’d rather explain how something actually works than tell you which side to be mad at.

On the record
In 2019 the City of Fullerton sued us for “hacking” an open Dropbox folder. In 2021 it paid $350,000 to settle and withdrew the accusation. Coverage: EFF, Voice of OC, KTLA.
Behind the name
From The Struggle of the Hour: a discourse delivered at the Paine celebration in Cincinnati, January 29, 1861:
“The Struggle of the hour is between brute force and reason; between suppression and speech; between religion and righteousness; between money and humanity; between misanthropy and philanthropy; between ignorance and intelligence; between restraint and development. On the one side in the array are the priests and politicians, in behalf of the consumers. On the other side, in behalf of the producers are a scattering few, whose works of sympathy fortitude and fidelity, have received opprobrious names, to be used against them for the want of better weapons.”
