Tim Barrus: Naked Before Us
The boys I was dealing with sat on folding chairs in a circle. “Okay, who is going to play Richard Hatch, and who’s going to be Amarosa.” The question was What Is Reality. What is reality on TV. Or. What does it really mean. The boys all had HIV. A…

A Chill in Publishingland
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/27/opinion/publishing-literary-antisemitism.html As Published in the NewYork Times, May 27, 2024 A Chill Has Fallen Over Jews in Publishing James Kirchick is right. Publishing finds itself between a rock and a hard place. Publishing books hasn’t been a place led by the same old, same old, fat white men for a…

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…

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…

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

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…

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.

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…

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

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.
