New York Times gatekeepers don’t want you to read this. They’re supposed to be anonymous. Sorry. But I just can’t join the Satisfied With Ourselves Party. There’s hardly a voice you publish that takes a solid look at journalism and it’s conflicted relationship with comments. Let’s Have A Hug For…

And then he caved.
There are many Americans who worship the great cult leader. They claim to know that he will live forever.
What does that mean. It means he will be shielded by his guards (and we will pay for it) for a very long time. I predict prison.…

GoingRogue. We’ve been traveling on my bike town-to-town, and we’ve been busy as all hell. I take Andrew with me because he was once a major whore. He raked it in.
But drug dealing is more money.

I could never tell if Sam was holding all the brick walls up, or if the brick walls were supporting Sam.…

Castrating Bulls
We stopped to ask if the rancher and his son would talk to us about why they were not wearing masks.
The rancher nodded, okay.
It can get uncomfortable. You have to nod and watch the eye contact (so as not to overwhelm) to get past the barriers.…

ALL THAT FLYING AROUND
My favorite part of this is all the flying around. Cosmic butts bend and in our faces.
They understand nothing about sexuality. They would vociferously deny it. There is nothing sexual about your ass turned up. Simians do it. We are not unrelated to them. They…

I am one of the people Ross Douthat condemns.
I have attended protests. Ross feels those demonstrations should never have happened. “…protests go forward amid a pandemic was justified by redescribing their motor, antiracism, as a push for better public health.”
I haven’t heard that one, but it sounds right,…
