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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

Tim Barrus, New York Times
Often, New York Times writers do not want to know too much because knowing too much is always trouble. It can seem like the writer has a preference within the context of one side to an issue or another. This is because the anecdotal is so pissed on. It can…

TIME
Response to Ezra Kein Ezra Klein’s observation that as far as government was concerned, the adults were eating at the kids’ table. I fell to the floor laughing. What does it mean. It means you can extrapolate physics from the physics of politics. They are not the same. They are…

I’m poor. I belong to a caste. I’m poor. I belong to a class. I’m poor. I belong to racial stereotypes although I have yet to hand over my genetic information. I’m poor. Title 2 of the Genetic Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) supposedly protects individuals against discrimination on the basis of…

Tim Barrus, New York Times
My bones were dying inside of me. No one knew why. My heart was dying inside of me. No one why. My ability to fly from the roof was only eclipsed by broken bones as brittle as a stick. I take 30 medications a day. Surgeries to replace the bones.…

Choose life? Leave Roe alone. What kind of life would that be. That life someone else is forced to have to live because the loudest among us say so. We never talk about the person whose poverty will define them, and they are happily here because the loudest among us…

I grab nostalgia in a death grip. I slam it in my writing. I have no choice. When I’m not writing, I go mad. When I am not involved with photography, I go mad. When I don’t have either one, I shut down. I rock. I become catatonic. Nostalgia is…

Parenting on a good day can be deranged. Parenting on a bad day is also deranged. Parenting in an emergency and the failure of infrastructure is called rock and role. $1.39 per meal per kid on Snap. A complete failure. The number of hungry American children has doubled. The failure…

AMERICAN ECONOMICS IS RUBBISH America is a fascist state. It’s allegiances are to a version of capitalism that has nothing to do with actual human beings who are brainwashed that capitalism is the only way to run a railroad. And America protects its fascist state with a chokehold around the…

You never listen. It’s not over until it’s over. No future. Only probabilities. A numerical drowning in a game of chance. The house always wins. Which is why when someone wins big at slots, the bells and lightshows all go off hysterically to prove to onlookers that the house can…

PEOPLE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ASK ME MANY, MANY THINGS. OFTEN, I HAVE NO ANSWERS. TODAY THE NEW YORK TIMES BRINGS QUESTIONS FROM READERS THAT ARE STUNNED BY THE ROLE RELIGION PLAYS IN DENIAL AND INTOLERANCE Religion has abandoned its roots of martyrdom for Institutional Martyrdom even as its…
