The Choss Pile: #NoFilter

Note from Owen: Originally this op-ed lived at this link: https://rockandice.com/opinion/the-choss-pile-nofilter/. However, “The Choss Pile” and all of my other writing for Rock and Ice magazine is no longer accessible, because the magazine was bought by Outside Interactive and its website was subsequently taken down. I’m in the process of archiving all these old articles via the WayBack Machine, and will be reposting them here. See below if you fancy reading this piece, which was written in January of 2021.
