A Road Trip. Through a Pandemic On a Dirt Bike. Protest to Protest. City to City. Riot to Riot. I have Neurological Hemorrhagic Dementia. Your bones dissolve inside you. The pain is breathtaking. Internal Bleeding Of The Brain. I Selectively Forget What I Want To Forget, too. Internalized venom. I…

Tim Barrus: New York Times

Larry Summers is your grandfather’s economics. What if Putin had put that $107,000,000 he spent on Russia’s debt, into Bit Coin instead. The fallout would be a challenge to the Central Bank. And then, let’s pretend he does it again. The snake bites back. Has anyone figured out that Putin…
