There Are Starving Children Left on Your Plate

My apologies, let me move Momcat from top-billing with today's awoogayodel (trademark), my not posting since wasn't bleggal mourning but my deliberate attempt to not awoogayodel daily as effective but repetitive reaction to shitlord organs' incessantly reprogramming me to lockstep accept my (and yours) rapidly approaching immiseration and eventual slaughter

Yesterday my senator from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, called the IDF war criminals for starving Gazans, I was surprised and stunned, Chris Van Hollen? I tweeted:

This was my first reaction (Van Hollen is my senator, Maryland). my second reaction that there had to be a cynical motherfucking professional Democrat decision to pick him to speak now so it's borderline evil at best, my third reaction, the fuck is @RepRaskin, moral coward?

Second reaction the correct reaction of course and should have been the first, the fuck wrong with me. Early this morning he voted to give Israel more money for Israel's western shitlord sanctioned genocide. Joe Biden's having aides tell reporters that Joe is really really mad and calling Netanyahu an asshole in a pathetic effort to gaslight his genocidal glee while demanding his party give said asshole more money to buy US bombs, Bidenomics!

I've been yodeling since October 8 that a major goal of the US proxy genocide in Gaza is to gear-up prepping the American public for the horrors of the coming global wars over resource scarcities and accepting as patriotic the sociopathic death-drive shitlords have to either unilaterally control the world or destroy the world if they can't. This is from eight years ago

Meanwhile, professional motherfucking Democrats and their shitlib zombies can't decide which narrative to adopt as primary, that the special counsel (designated by Biden's own AG) lied about Biden's senility versus Sure Biden is diminished and demented, but Trump. Why doesn't Trump's increasing dementia (Biden will rename Pennsylvania if reelected, for example) get the same 24-7 obsessive play as Biden's, a shitlib former professor of mine demanded of me, when I said because even if Trump is as feeble or feebler than Biden Trump is not currently sending weapons to Israel to ethnic cleanse Palestine, steal the West Bank, and kill all child-bearing age Palestinian women and already born Palestinian children to eliminate the next generation of Palestinians while simultaneously tempting a broad Mideast war that would almost certainly lead to a world war, that's why, this probably the last time my former professor ever asks me anything again

Meanwhile, in my complicity, we're driving to Michigan Thursday to visit our daughter (so this post might sit atop for a while), HEY! did you know Wayne Kramer made an album (MUBUC5, get it?) with Pere Ubu in 1998? It's true, you can hear it here, no youtubes to post from that album but here, have this instead

The Crisis at The New York Times
⇧	"It has been evident to many of us since the genocide in Gaza began Oct. 7 that Israel risked asking too much of those inclined to take its side. The Zionist state would ask what many people cannot give: It would ask them to surrender their consciences, their idea of moral order, altogether their native decency as it murders, starves and disperses a population of 2.3 million while making their land uninhabitable. The Israelis took this risk and they have lost. We are now able to watch videos of Israeli soldiers celebrating as they murder Palestinian mothers and children, as they dance and sing while detonating entire neighborhoods, as they mock Palestinians in a carnival of racist depravity one would have thought beyond what is worst in humanity—and certainly beyond what any Jew would do to another human being. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, as American media do not, that the Israel Defense Forces covertly sponsor a social media channel disseminating this degenerate material in the cause of maintaining maximum hatred"						⇧

Why Animals Talk: The New Science of Animal Communication
⇧	"Do animals have language?’ is a bad question. They talk, concludes Kershenbaum, but not in the way we do. We are pathologically linguistic. We chop the world up into propositions and, if we’re not careful, examine those rather than the world itself. The behaviourist Temple Grandin speculates that non-human animals might rely on mental images rather than something tantamount to language to conceptualise ideas (as people like her, with autism spectrum disorder, do). We can’t know, but Kershenbaum is sympathetic to the notion.						⇧

MAD LIB ELEGY

Ben Lerner

There are starving children left on your plate.

There are injuries without brains.

Migrant workers spend 23 hours a day

removing tiny seeds from mixtures

they cannot afford to smoke

and cannot afford not to smoke.

Entire nations are ignorant of the basic facts

of hair removal and therefore resent

our efforts to depilate unsightly problem areas.

Imprisonment increases life expectancy.

Finish your children. Adopt an injury.

           ‘I'm going to my car. When I get back,

           I'm shooting everybody.'

                                [line omitted in memory of_______]

70% of pound animals will be euthanized.

94% of pound animals would be euthanized

if given the choice. The mind may be trained

to relieve itself on paper. A pill

for your safety, a pill for her pleasure.

Neighbors are bothered by loud laughter

but not by loud weeping.

Massively multiplayer zombie-infection web-games

are all the rage among lifers.

The world is a rare case of selective asymmetry.

The capitol is redolent of burnt monk.

           ‘I'm going to my car. When I get back

           I'm shooting everybody.'

                                 [line omitted in memory of _______]

There are two kinds of people in the world:

those that condemn parking lots as monstrosities,

‘the ruines of a broken World,' and those

that respond to their majesty emotionally.

70% of the planet is covered in parking lots.

94% of a man's body is parking lot.

Particles of parking lot have been discovered

in the permanent shadows of the moon.

There is terror in sublimity.

If Americans experience sublimity

the terrorists have won.

          I'm shooting everybody.'
