I started blogging in 2010 as “lizard” at 4 and 20 Blackbirds. In 2015 the absentee landlord of that blog decided my criticism of Democrats had crossed an unspoken line, so I was kicked off the blog and started Reptile Dysfunction, later renamed Zoom Chron, where I continue to report on local issues with a unique mixture of on-the-ground insights and unabashed opinions you won’t find anywhere else.
Consistently producing content made 2022 a great year for my efforts to crack local narrative control on critical issues facing our community, as the numbers below clearly show. So how can you help?

Well, if your eyes represent one of those 88,795 views, I hope you consider making a financial donation to help me continue and expand my style of independent journalism. What are you waiting for?

Hi Lizard, if this is you who are linked to a Moon of Alabama posting. Man, I’m out here in Los Angeles. Trying to figure out how to get out. Dude. I fully agree with you. super depressing. I support the second amendment and small businesses. god help us all.
yeah, I’m that reptile that shouts at the moon. if you’re trying to get out it’s really about networking. our vacancy rate for rentals is like 3 percent, which is low, so unless you have an “in”, it’s hard.
