Take notes. I am not amused. The good. The bad. And the indifferent. A legal argument. It’s usually a legal/religious debate. If you read closely, that would be David French debating David French. This is illegal. It is also illegal for any person to drool over all the money these…

This piece is your all-too-usual garden variety photographic retouched post production brochure invigorated adventure with no regard whatsoever for the dramatic impact tourism has on the lives of the people who actually live in these places because you make it…

Take notes. Elon Musk is a wildcard. Reminds me of a guy running down the street as fast as he can being chased by a dog. Soon enough Musk asks the dog: Do you know who I am. The dog replies: I surely do. Musk reminds me of parts of…

Take notes. It’s Christmas. The billionaire class gets to tuck us in and read us fables and myths. He is entitled to have access to the New York Times . Enormous wealth counts. It’s all one needs. We must give our readers what they want and this is what they…

Take notes. HIV. Can drive any pharmacist to hit the books. Big Pharma makes these things, they can keep market demand by making supply tight. HIV drugs are made in China. It’s now all up for grabs. Instability. Pharmacies close. American Medicine is a complete failure. Capitalism kills a lot…

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. 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. 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 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…

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…

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…

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…

TAKE NOTES Here in Appalachia, they just kill the trans kids. After torturing them. I’ve seen gasoline poured on them. People looked down. At their feet. People walked away. No one would help this screaming, naked kid. I picked up a rug and wrapped him in it and got him…

Take Notes. I am living in a truck. In the morning, I meet up with my Appalachia neighbors in a coffee shop. We solve the problems of the world. I usually get one these guys to join my side. Hurricane Helena killed husbands, wives, and kids. Body parts are still…

Take notes. Baring witness is important. I do not know why. But the idea that you can talk armed soldiers out of using Rape as a weapon of war is patently absurd and beneath contempt. Who do you think will be shot in the face next. You. Will be shot…

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…

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…

Take notes. The It is a traitor. I am not going to drink the polite Kool Aid. Politeness is absurd and beneath contempt. The Monstrosity wants to kill us out of naked revenge. I so do not care what Americans want. I will not be told that I have to…
