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…

Old age fits me like a wet dress. Writing is this bloodsoaked dragon with the tongue to lash you with. See that treeline up there. When you start running, we will all probably miss.

It’s simple. Russia will eat Europe’s Lunch. I would rather be nuked than eat Putin’s shit.

I find myself writing about education again. Is there anyone still standing who believes public education has not failed as an institution. They put my special ed class down in the boiler room (kids called it the boiler maker) so no one had to see us. We had separate playgrounds.…

Tim Barrus: My House Was Blue
![]()
My house was destroyed when Hurricane Georges screamed through. We hid in the bathrub. We tied ourselves together. The roof came off. Rubble. I have survived 15 Hurricanes. I do not know why. The worst part of any hurricane is the sun coming out as a high pressure system pushing…

You wanted feedback. What, do I appear to you to be a loop you can run around with, but going nowhere. Half the time, I have no idea what people are talking about, and that means you. What ARE you trying to SAY. Just show me. Don’t talk to me.…
