Tim Barrus, New York Times
Push through the air with your palm extended facing a knock-out sand of the witches’ wind. How much air did you misplace. Only the Great Karnac knows, and he’s not talking. Less than zero. It’s coming. It’s here. It will define who we are as a species. Migration is bigger…

The poor today will be the poor tomorrow and slavery – hope is ephemeral and is called a job given out with cold regard to the Homo sapiens on the exhausted planet. Let’s dig some coal. And dig and dig and dig our way to splendid riches. I mean, what…

ALL THAT FLYING AROUND My favorite part of this is all the flying around. Cosmic butts bend and in our faces. They understand nothing about sexuality. They would vociferously deny it. There is nothing sexual about your ass turned up. Simians do it. We are not unrelated to them. They…

These End of Days
Farhad Manjoo at the New York Times wants you to be hopeful. Even when I do not agree with Farhad, I always admire his ability to write and make his thought-provoking points. The New York Times is refusing to publish anything from this piece in comments because I have broken…

TIM BARRUS: NEW YORK TIMES: STOP HAVING CHILDREN
The King has just killed my grandchildren. There is no way that having children is compelled by innate desire. The mommies are simply wrong. I have pleaded with my children not to have more children of their own. They get it. They understand. They’re not stupid. They have decided that…
