The Deviant Will Kill Us All
I am a communist. The deviant wants to kill us all. But Americans do not believe it. Brooks is not alone. The pessimism he seems to struggle with isn’t pessimism, it’s reality. The dividing line between suicide and homicide is razor thin. Rapist psychodynamic traits emerge as an overly assaultive,…

Tim Barrus Americans Shiver in Their Pathetic Shoes
I am a communist. “And Respond.” Americans have never responded. They ruminate, and then they bend the knee. If North Korea invaded us, would you respond. No. It’s football night. You can go with Miss Timid. You will crawl at the Deviant’s feet. You can go with a polite note…

I AM A COMMUNIST
tim barrus I am a communist. I have been screaming about what is going to happen, and then it did. Happen. I told you so. I told you so. This will not be published because I said: I told you so. Three times. I told Americans this would happen –…

American Terrorism
Take notes. You can’t fight back with a sock in your mouth. Mouth socks are not normal. That there are norms of existence – most of them are illusions – can be a dangerous thing. Not acting is uncivil. Paul pokes the resistance. She doesn’t even know there is one.…

The Felon Rapist Is Killing People With HIV
Take notes. “Our basic civility as a nation.” There it is. The beating heart. The problem is that we have no idea what civility even means. I think it is one thing. Moderators think it’s another. I think everyone should express themselves. Even if I do not agree with where…

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. Appalachia: I have coffee in the coffee shop on Main Street. We call it Main. The City Fathers arrived to answer questions. There is really only one question: Why did no one show up to help us through a hurricane. You rebuild. Struggling. There used to be mountain…

Take notes. The left gets trashed. It’s obfuscation. Who are these people. Name them. You always condemn but condemn who. Why do writers attack a ghost. What are you so afraid of. I’m a radical (are you shivering in your shoes). I cannot be a leftist because it’s lame. And…

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. A quickie How To quickie bullet point friendships. I have five thousand “friends” on facebook. I do not need a “friend.” I need a home. I need to trash this car I am living in. The minute your “Real Friends” figure out you might be in trouble (hurricane…

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…

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. 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…
