Tim Barrus: The Calculated Value Of Vegas Whores
The discrepancy between classical models of vacuum energy (not the kind you sweep the floors with) from quantum field analysis and the observed play by play, in which the calculated value of a sex worker is juxtaposed by Everything Is Observed. But changes what. Observation changes everything. Seas and seas.…

Tim Barrus: Thermodynamic Equilibrium
We could not figure it out. It was strange. I was working on a set, and supposed to be on the lookout for continuity. I never could find continuity. We all pretended some job somewhere needed us. Workers unite. I had one job where all I did was unload lights.…

finding our voice in dirt
I am a communist. Another New York Times dual NYT piece that refuses to give voice to poverty – AND – they are infinitely obstructionist, not so much politically, but culturally. There is no political unless there is culture that agrees to implemment. “The most pro-worker thing we can do…

Armed Delinquent
We are the culture of greed, death, indifference, cruelty, mass incarceration, poverty, hunger, suspicion, hate, patriarchal monarchy disguised as democracy, and genocide.

B4 It Was 2 Late
There is always a Before It Was Too Late. Not unlike the check left on the table at Antoine’s. Running out the door. In full leather. Jumping Jack Flash. Running out the door anywhere back then in full leather (I only wanted the pants because my dick was always hard…
