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…

Rich People Have Agency

Take notes. I am a radical. Not a democrat. Not a republican. There are no independents. They employ the same political and cultural infrastructure – how things work – that the rest of us are compelled to use. Climate: Not a word. It’s the Trump go to for climate change,…

CHER

Take notes. I was standing on a street corner in San Francisco. I was hardly expecting to see Cher standing beside me. She wasn’t alone. This was rock and roll. A whole army of folks from her tour were right behind her. Cher was concerned that not all of them…

We Are Not Like Other People

Bad Autistic by Time Barrus

Tim Barrus, New York Times

I stumbled and there, Literary Heist Was. A focused dream of thoughts that are actually thoughts. I wrote a book called GENOCIDE. It picks up where reality (such as it is) left off. And everyone believed it was time to say HIV is not a problem. And now we move…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. Gay men have formed a survivor’s group that is about older men who survived AIDS. And the AIDS era. Which has not ended. The group is angry with me for questioning the tenet of the tenets. The rule that life is always worth living because it’s life. Living…

Tim Barrus, New York Times

Take Notes. I have to watch what I write. What are the risks of having a voice. As a writer, every time I turn around, there are new rules. There are the NYT rules of etiquette. There are the religious rules about specific words that are not allowed. All new…

Tim Barrus, New York Times

Take notes. The question seems to be: How do we fight back. The alternative torture is to tie ourselves down to any railroad tracks. Oh, we picked #2 refrigerator. Just freeze us for four years. It doesn’t work. Brooks is sensibly telling us to move forward but carefully, and (this…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take Notes. Leftists? The term is a lie that journalists use in their hypothesis of the definitional political boundaries. Those leftists. But. Who are these so-called leftists. I know this: You made it up. God help us. Who are these people. Who shakes the hand of a Marxist and says:…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. There are alternatives for renter folks who know how to look. Farms. I was living in a cabin that I built on a mountaintop in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was pastoral on steroids. Hurricane Helene changed everything. It wiped us out. I am renting a house in…

Tim Barrus New York Times

Take notes. I’m not buying it. The election was stolen. Period. I do not sweat the small stuff.  You guys don’t understand that the American people did this. No one else will say this, but the American people are a mean lot. I hate America. I goy my kids out.…

On Fighting Back

Take notes. Trump wants to burn the constitution. He will write the new constitution. He already has. What I want to know is where are the tens of thousands of other people who have sworn to protect the constitution. Trump took this oath to protect. And so did every member…

Tim Barrus, New York Times

Take notes. I had to make a judgement call. I got my family out of North America. My decision was based in what the New York Times take is. In all the talk about vibes, the publication has one, too. It’s dark. It’s fearful. It’s nervous. If it wasn’t, something…

Shawn Mendes

Take notes. People demand to know if Shawn is gay. These are the people who will make him pay for it. His fan base is mainly composed of fifteen-year-old girls. There’s a lot of anecdotals attached to Shawn. I hear a lot of: No One Cares If He’s Gay. That…

THE MEDIA WANTS RAZZLE DAZZLE POLITICS AS IF THEY WERE EVENTS

Take notes. About control. Dream Big Again is beginning to sound like Dream What We Tell You To Dream. Americans would never buy a used car from a used car salesman named Nixon Halloween who had used cars to unload. Fast. Faster. The Garden is another testosterone wrestling event. Ordinary.…

Like No

Take notes. The despair is real. The hate is real. And the revenge that drives the beast is real as well. We don’t talk about jealousy too much. This is a Culture World War. You will be told that it’s more complex than that, and it is. But not to…

NO MORE BABIES

History is history. Repeating it is what homo sapiens sapiens do. Take notes. I have been listening to the whole Let Us Have More Babies And More Babies. So that we can keep the status quo of growth at all costs, development at all costs, overcrowding at all costs, environmental…

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…

Books Banned In the South

Books Banned in the American South – Peter Rabbit – Tom Sawyer – Huckleberry Finn – The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams – Winnie The Poo – Les Miserables – The Complete Works of William Shakespeare – Frankenstein – Treasure Island – Lolita – The Story of…

The Great American Novel: A Novel By Tim Barrus

The Great American Novel, is itself, a novel. In this, I have set out to make stuff that would be about the beauty of it. I have attempted to put a lot of issues into a small, focused group, that many trees have shaken up. This Baby is for the…
