Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. I am living in my car. I have found a cottage in the woods. In two weeks, I move in. A hurricane made sure I am living out of one bag. A photography bag. I have lived out of one canvas bag for fifty years. Sue me. Tonight…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Incendiary Comments is a book that examines my relationship with the New York Times. It’s been a long one. I am publishing my stuff there in terms of following patterns. Themes: Politics. Resistance. Medical. Autism, Neurodivergence (I’m Aspergers).  Economics. Democracy. Homelessness. Work-At-Home. Education. Tech. Suits. Parenting. HIV/AIDS. The whole nine…

Take notes. This is darker than it seems. People need time. There is no time. Allow me to be so bold as to suggest that there is another aspect to this. The media. I indict all of you. Might I suggest that the resistance has been forming the structure of…

Take Notes Standardize. Regularize. Arrange. Conform. Anneal. Temper. Methodize. Sort Out. Balance. Control. These are the rapist’s tools. He applies them to a canvas, and we are that canvas. No mention here of the term rapist. This is what normalization means. It’s called cherry-picking. If we all play polite, maybe…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take Notes. NYT. Complicit. Capitulation. You are not the polite resistance. What I see is an army of fall-in-line suits. “We validate rape.” Now, it’s normal to rape women. Not even women get it. If a man puts his fingers into a woman’s vagina, and the woman objects, that’s rape.…

Take notes. The distance between Hiroshima and Seoul is 400 miles. The Koreans know it is in reality, the distance to the moon. History speaks volumes. The next itchy player would be Mao Zedong. The 1950s saw enormous instability. Douglas MacArthur wanted to use the bomb again. And he was…

Take notes. I am still a single parent. Call the babysitter. Go to work. I should be shamed for writing this. That’s the thing about survival. The issue is not morality. This is a class issue. This is an economic issue. This is a caste issue. Mainly women. But I’ve…

The Rapist Is My Current Book Project New York Times 12/13/2024 Take notes. I put my kids on a flight out of this psycho country. The chief psycho’s fundamental desire is to kill Americans. Americans do not not believe it. So, my grandchildren get to be raped and will have…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. Appalachia is not cheap. Nevertheless, the endemic poverty of Appalachia is so fundamental, so ingrained, so intransigent, that even I cannot articulate what a waste of lives, resources, no vision that can make it better. Families with dirt floors. No hope.  America is done. Suicide rates for Appalachia…

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/opinion/trump-republican-party-cabinet.html#permid=138199476 Take notes. Going under. Some of us have descended into brooding, (I have). Then, I slap myself. I have to stop “doing” anxiety, and start asking better questions. I see it differently than most Americans. I am not allowed to say: Civil War. People write to me, and in…

Take notes. I was a teacher to adolescents with HIV. All of them arrived with a long list of medications. Every school district creates rules like a nurse has to administer all meds, and if students are caught taking their own meds, they were expelled. No drugs. Was a fundamental…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. We are ruled by criminals and one rapist criminal. It’s the clown car and he is driving it. Our government is the mob and the mob has won. I wish you luck on keeping your vaunted democracy. Ordinary lament. The Supreme Court golf-cart assessment of how many things…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. Great piece. I appreciate the research, because it points out the lack of research. But. It goes to law, and I appreciate that, too. What I’m looking at these days is not based in gender issues. It’s based in violence. I was teaching a group of adolescents with…

Tim Barrus: 100,000 Copies

Publishing Was Dark I was living in NYC when the Mineshaft opened. I am a chronicler of wet people from the rain and soaked and traveling with you is dangerous, but that was when I was dangerous, too. The cab has to be slick, new, and as yellow as Baby…

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/magazine/tilda-swinton-interview.html#permid=138113367 TILDA Take notes. Tilda Swinton gives the New York Times an edge. An edge they frequently cover up with the contradiction between the fact that no one even knows what art is, and the fact that outreach as art for the sake of art even finds its tiny way…

THE RAPIST

Take Notes. “But, like Mr. Manchin, we should all be rooting for them to succeed.” I’m shocked. I find this statement to be viscous. It defends the RAPIST. What this fool of a homo sapiens who wrote this sickening piece of pornography wants is called compliance. I wrote a book…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. Legend and mythology are both subject to modern terminology and continual updating. The Iliad was music. The Iliad was a song. The Iliad was voice. The Iliad was history and a lot of it was simply created so Homer could go home. It was Greek but it was…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. The old Monstrosity is going to shove this plan down your American throats. I am always kicked out into the street for saying this stuff, but it happens to be the uncivil truth. Moderators, grow up. You have no idea what it feels like to get your kids…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. I’ve been waiting for this one. This is a “home for the holiday” piece and I can get that in Teen Vogue. Thank you. A publication that is impotent. The New York Times, award-winner of journalism goes to see a show cuz it gives them a new perspective.…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. Google is the black plague. I have articulated and written that for the past twenty years, Wikipedia must have a financial stake in the arrangement with the algorithm. Google manages to place Wikipedia first. They subvert the algorithm that they made in the first place. Wikipedia cherry picks.…

TIM BARRUS ON CREATIVITY NEW YORK TIMES

Civil moderation is the status quo at the New York Times. I have begged them to define what civil means. But they are literally not capable of it. The editing is infantile, ignorant, and borders on illiteracy. I wanted to write this differently. But here goes. Kathleen Kingsbury is the…

Tim Barrus: NYT TRUMP AS RAPIST

WHAT IS WRONG WITH NYT’S COLUMNISTS Take notes. What is wrong with you. This piece where you guys get together to moan and whine about IT. It is a criminal. A rapist. Trump is not a human being. He’s an It. Stop sitting around lamenting. It’s intolerable. The despot is…

IT’S A RAPIST

Take notes. It’s a convicted rapist. Yet the country loves him. They do not care about women. They do not care about rape. Rape is a weapon of war. It has always wanted WAR. Are you ready to be led by a rapist. An It. Find some way to remove…
