I am not autism. I am a human being. I am autistic. The fact that the New York Times would choose this word, leads to one wondering what else are they doing (or preaching) that would lend any light to anything. The only people who employ the word autism are…

She was a source. I cannot disclose her name or where she worked. She is a serious person. You do not have to believe me. She called because she had some new stuff to show off. This was a ruse. She wanted me to know about real power. It wasn’t…

Tim Barrus And The New York Times
The deviant is watching us squirm. It’s entertainment. Kennedy is not a serious person. This is the man who once cut off the head of a whale with a chainsaw. He freely talks about eating dogs. What happened to the heroin addiction. Why did his wife commit suicide. What companies…

It does not start with cannon fire. It starts in fear. Especially the kind of fear where people are seeing the real thing, The Deviant might get caught, so double down. Transparency is their mortal enemy. MAGA has set out to kill us. I’m not supposed to articulate that. It’s…

The deviant isn’t human. It’s the Last Man standing syndrome. In order to survive, I am compelled to take the long view. There is a vibe here that says: We will survive if we just hold our breath. We assume It was a playground bully. But what I hear is…

The New York Times has published my response to a beautiful film they have released about bearing witness to the grief that has descended on the earth, and the earth has had enough. This is filmmaking.I am totally knocked out with this. Thank you for – the simplicity – it…

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,…

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. Very well-written. I have to give credit where credit is due. French pretty much flays the flesh of organized religion, and this is a good thing because it recognizes the complicity of indifference. That patriarchy is fundamentally beneath contempt. French does not go at it with righteousness. That…

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…

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
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…

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…

Ezra Kline Pulls His Punches
Take notes. I would never say: The American people are stupid. I might think it. But I would not say it. Mainly, because the American people are armed. It is not uncivil for me to say that the American people desire to be entertained. Trump is giving them what they…

Mobsters
Take notes. The morality of losing everything (usually because someone talked) One of the recurrent themes here is organized crime. We have made the thing a little difficult for made guys in the mob to move among us. The mob has weathered bloody insurrections, federal convictions and undercover agents through…
