Republicans want to kill us. Erase that. Republicans are killing us. That alone will get me kicked off The New York Times. Again. The truth is just the truth. Americans cannot face the truth. You live in an ugly country inhabited by ugly people with their fetish for a king.…

There is a word that Americans refuse to confront. Sadism. Sadism has won and Americans cannot even articulate what it is. Americans do not read. Americans are more into building detention camps. I turn to art. It’s all I have. I am writing a play called Somalia. I hide the…

Paris art seems very gritty.

There was only one question in Dirt Bike Town, and that question was about survival.

I was Creative Director for a foundation where we brought art programs and cameras to kids at risk, all over the world. We gave hundreds of Play Sport Kodak cameras to the children. What came back was a kick in the gut. I was speechless (rare). This is how they…

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/opinion/peter-thiel-antichrist-ross-douthat.html#permid=143116474 Take notes. Ross has major chops with his interviewing skills. I’m not sure if I have ever seen or heard anything like this interview. I am interested in the sparring. In some ways, Ross did push some (Ross, you squirmed, don’t do that), and then he smiled and settled…

I grew up born-and-bred to work the assembly line at Oldsmobile. We did not attend college. No idea what university was. That is where the rich kids went. Whoever they were. We kinda made them up. So we could blame them for the poverty of our lives. I blame them,…

I can’t think of three other journalists I would rather listen to. These three cut through issues boom, boom, boom. Thank you. A cogent conversation. Now is the time for the Normals to remember. The TV was darkened to bible black images of the dead being thrown into the backs…

I am almost stunned this was published in the New York Times. Thank you. It is informative and has a voice to die for. Parades of ghosts. Authority is coming for you. No one will remember. Because it’s time. They’re coming for you. Yes, they’re coming for you. Who is…

I’m sorry. You’ve been had. I said you would be had, and then, you couldn’t buy enough. A Narco-State. A Police-State. A Hysterical-State. Of numbing incredulity. Does America even know what is real. “I will not be arrested.” This tells me you have never been arrested. You are immune from…

Tim Barrus: The State Can Dictate
I am not confused. The first thing government is responsible for – is where to put the dead. A lot of what Ross writes is all mixed up with Catholicism. He’s not being honest about the extent to which The Church’s influence is everything. The Church is a relic from…

Tim Barrus: Always Hopeful
I am autistic. But I am not a dream machine. I do not understand how all of these lists of threats – code for what might happen – can be juxtaposed against what actually did happen. Thusly, what will happen. Simple particle physics. Life happens. We know we can move…

I am a communist. All the old bedfellows are the new bedfellows. The one thing we can expect from a deviant is deviance. Tear it up to tear it down. It doesn’t come anymore American than that. Down here in the deep South, the managerial class is the caste that…

Tim Barrus: Male friendships Are A Thing Of The Past
I am autistic. My mates protected me. I had a big mouth. They did not have words for it. “We know you are a weirdo but we love you.” This was a rust belt factory town. Bar fight town. Football town. Poker town. Hunting and killing animals town. Lawn mower…

Tim Barrus: No Safe Zone Underground Bunker
I am kinda stunned. For the last ten years, I have been writing a book about how do homo sapiens build back an entire culture. A bit dystopian, but grounded in reality. Everyone leaves their bunkers at the same time. I am afraid of Americans. I am terrified by Americans.…

Take notes. I love this piece by Pam Paul. I am more than a little autistic. Neurodivergent doesn’t work for me. For me, neurodivergence must be like something you do to get inside someone’s brain. I do not get metaphors. I take what you have to say, literally. What people…

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…

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. 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 have been trying to join Blue Sky for months. It won’t let me in. I give up. I cannot afford to leave the Internet. I don’t make a dime from books. Nada. I’m living in a car in this mountain cold. Fingers ice. Hurricane destroyed everything. No…

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…
