  1. Scratching Glass

    I do not remember writing this. But some kind soul sent it to me to remind me what an idiot I am. But some of it does hit home. It was published in the New York Times 2009. Shame on me. Back in the States, under my desk, packed in


  2. Tim Barrus: Incendiary Comments NYT

    Been there. One drove a cab. One was a maid in a hotel who never went to work because we were more fun to hang out with. The All Too Usual Question is inevitably What If Someone Gets Jealous. Someone will get jealous. I’m thinking the nuances here all have…

  4. Tim Barrus, New York Times

    Dogs are not usually on the front page of the New York Times. When they are, it’s an event.


  5. Tim Barrus, New York Times

    I knew they would go after Delta-8. The normals fuck us in the ass, and we are supposed to show appreciation for the fuck. The normals are just one species. They like milk toast. Tea and crumpets. The card game, fish. You could use the word lame, it’s okay. Just…


  6. Tim Barrus, NewYork Times

    The comment gatekeepers at the New York Times wish the lot of us could be nice. Nice is the new editorial policy. You will notice that their opinion writers always end with a happy, happy scenario. Nice is censorship. This hold on niceness will crack. Niceness makes me vomit. Americans…

    I admire Ross Douthat’s writing. It is focused and cogent. It’s not stupid. Most republicans are just stupid – Madison. A prerequisite for being a republican is an IQ of less than zero. Of course, they don’t want abortion. They wouldn’t be here.

    Put an end to this war. Make Russia pay, and pay, and pay. If we know where Putin is. Pay. and pay, and pay. I think they know where Putin is.


  9. Tim Barrus: New York Times

    I am a communist. I live in Appalachia. In this destitute, impoverished, addicted little hard-scrabble scratch on the planet, the homeless live in abandoned trailers, secret campsites, and in close proximity to dumpsters. It is harder for some of us – those of us with disabilities – to remain in


  10. Tim Barrus: New York Times

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


  11. Tim Barrus, New York Times

    Maureen Dowd at the NYT can hit a variety of notes, some funny. Some not so funny. Everyone at the New York Times seems to hit burnout like the flash of a comet across the night sky, never to be heard from ever again. It will all make sennse to


  12. Tim Barrus, New York Times

    I am a communist. Overthrowing the rich is my shining dream on a hill. A dream of famine, carnage, and superstition. But don’t talk too much or too loudly because any portrayal of civility drowning in irrelevance will be met by throwing you into an enforced poverty and humiliation that


  13. Tim Barrus: New York Times

    I am not a writer, I am a cosmologist. History. Structure. Constituent dynamics. Theory. How people behave themselves and derange themselves arguments that pretend the existence of whatever came before, and from the gravitational waves we now detect (not easily), we are looking back in time to, not before the…


  14. Tim Barrus: Domestic Work Is Slavery

    Tim Barrus, New York Times. Yes. I have. I’ve done it several times when I needed a job and hotels were hiring. It’s more or less all the same sort of work, and I am here to tell you that, it’s brutal, you have so many number of rooms to


  15. Tim Barrus: HIV and Covid

    Children who have been illegally hired to work in slaughter houses are catching covid. It gets hushed up. These kids get murdered and raped and can disappear with no evidence they ever existed. Violence begets violence, and death begets death. Virus begets virus. You can argue all you want to…


  16. Tim Barrus: Moms and their Fucking Babies

    This is click bait. I don’t get click bait. I do not see a connection between click bait and jailbait I don’t get the whole Mom thing with babies. The last time I blogged anything about babies the attacking jets from the sky napalmed the city. Forget your baby, you…


  17. Tim Barrus: There are no happy endings. Only punishment.

    I am a communist. The word capitalism is never used. David Brooks is sad. However, there were some of us that were on rooftops yelling that this “stuff”, this “stuff,” is coming like a train wreck. I wrote piece after piece, writing after writing, video after video — all of

  19. Tim Barrus: How Much Wood Do U Have 2 Chop 2 Survive A Winter Here

    I am a communist. A friend and I rode shotgun on my dirt bike – riot to riot – armed with cameras. Through fires because we did not think a forest fire would inundate entire towns. New York Times readers were enraged about this trip. Where is my mask. Under…


  20. Tim Barrus: I Fucked Him Rough In The Middle of the Parking Lot

    I am a communist. Who does not comprehend America. I don’t get how it works. I do not fathom how an economic paradigm like capitalism can hold history and call it this side of one inch at a time slippage toward another On Our Knees, begging at the Gates of…


  21. NEW YORK TIMES REFUSES TO PUBLISH IMPOVERISHED WRITERS THEY PREFER ACADEMICS

    THE NEW YORK TIMES IS DIVERSE. NO ARGUMENT THERE. THEY HAVE EVERY BEAT UNDER THE SUN. BUT NOT POVERTY, AND NO PUBLIC POLICY AS IT EXISTS AND EVOLVES LIKE THE SNAKE IT IS.


  22. Our Categories Are Toxic

    Tim Barrus: New York Times I am a communist. A subcategory, as is class, caste, the crime of I Publish Books Under Other Names. Because I loathe the publishing industry for creating ideas and imagery that have everything to do with the writer, where he lives, how many children he


  23. An Open Letter to Sona Patel

    An Open Letter to Sona Patel, Director, Community, New York Times Thank you for allowing me to comment at NYT. Comments done right are hot. This is, too, exactly the kind of comment I am apt to make in the comment section of the New York Times. I confuse your


  24. How Does A Reader At The New York Times Get Away With Saying They Know Someone (me) They Have Never Met

    I have a rule. Do not argue with readers at the New York Times. I get to break the rule because I made it.  I just don’t recognize who they are talking about as if one thing came before the other so obviously there is some kind of undiscovered reason


  25. Tim Barrus, New York Times

    The New York Times keeps trying to cover – the NEW education. How do we change what gets delivered to children has to be delivered to children. Now, let us go to special education. No one wants to talk about special ed as it is juxtaposed with typical children being
