Maaayybbeee..." – Eugene S. Robinson 24.05.2026Five years after OZY fired him for starting the Substack that still won’t die, Eugene looks back at Carlos “Craplos” Watson, commuted consequences, unsigned NDAs, old grudges, and the strange satisfaction of outlasting the people who tried to shut him up. Along the way: UFC nostalgia, MMA-adjacent desperation, Trump-era institutional rot, cheap Spanish healthcare, bad backs, open wounds, and one inversion table catastrophe. V.416 is about what survives when the things we thought were permanent start falling apart.– It's Time Again For The Eugene S.
