Though I keep assuring concerned friends analog and digital that I'm nobody and am far more likely to be vaporized in a nuclear attack on DC than swept-up by the nazimusks for online treason the friends analog and digital strongly recommend I get the fuck off twatter asap, there are already melontrackers using sinister algorithms to silo future dissenters for flaying before fileting Three think I should abandon *here,* or at least cease gridding the Gazan genocide so zealously. Don't you think my angry slagging of motherfucking professional Democrats so gleefully in the grid will buy me some mercy during my flaying, I ask them. Besides, I add, I'm nobody. Below the song all this puts in my head a grid of anti-Zionist/American genocidaire links and angry slagging of motherfucking professional Democrats. No, I don't post on Friday before a helmetball weekend to avoid hits (that's what the paintings are for), I post on Friday because I want a clean palette for the weekend, thanks for asking, K
"Biden's last gasp dying wish is to keep killing as many Palestinian children as possible until the very end"

"U.S. president Joe Biden was found to be too senile to stand for re-election. But that does not hinder the powers that be to let him launch world war III"
"The pivot in liberals from "he's a new Hitler working with America's enemies to subvert our beloved democracy" to a really mean-spirited "Fuck you all, you want fascism, we'll help him give you fascism, don't come whining to us, enjoy the camps" has been disturbing"
Harris’s Gaza Policy Was a Disaster on Every Level
"Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East that rapes doctors to death while ethnically cleansing and slaughtering their families"
"This particular warping of the language of solidarity and literature to accept prize money funded by a weapons manufacturer really shows the liberal hypocrisy around Palestine perfectly, a genteel monstrosity. No, the dead can't read. You can never save your complicity"
"E*on M*sk is the most powerful opponent of Americans' freedom of speech in the world and an expert in legal shenanigans (his real sphere of expertise). He will bury Bluesky in lawsuits if it starts winning over Twitter"
"Here is a fun hypothesis for you pundits, politicos, and posters: the individual American and Delawarean most responsible for Donald Trump's 2024 victory isn't Joe Biden, but rather the single chancery court judge who didn't let Elon back out of buying Twitter"
This Washington Post oped dipshit celebrating Gaetz's withdrawal as a major signal seachange towards Trump by congressional GOP convinces me more than anything else the Gaetz pick was a work from the start
"Not seen in NYT's "what to know" about Pam Bondi: the only thing you need to know, that she fired prosecutors in her office who were investigating companies engaged in foreclosure fraud, after receiving thousands of dollars in donations from those companies"

Gaetz was a work from the start. He got out of getting kicked out of congress - details of his Fox gig being negotiated as I type this - and Trump got a chance to test the loyalty of elected GOP congresspersons and senators - win/win

Matt Gaetz Case Has Echoes of the Justice Department’s Failure to Prosecute Jeffrey Epstein’s Sex-Trafficking Ring
"More chaos in Will Lewis' newsroom: According to Lachlan Cartwright, @washingtonpost.com Senior Politics Editor Dan Eggen has been removed from that pivotal job. "Crushed" Eggen quoted as saying: "I will leave it to others to explain why."
1/my best guess is that nonentities who have expressed opinions won't be targeted for gov't enforcement action - they've got a lot of other stuff to do
2/from time to time it has crossed my mind to read alexander pope's essay on man - i see that youtube has a reading of the entire text in a british accent in an hour 48 minutes - one could listen and read at the same time
3/i did read 'death of translation' from the grid - in the essay the reference to debt reminded me of yesterday's poem by Mary Jo Bangs with the quotation from Horace, "we are owed to death, we and whatever is ours" - her poem's title The Gospel of Mary reminds me of jean-yves leloup's translation of the gospel of mary magdalene
4/speaking of translation, and of reading aloud, and of centuries-old contemplations of the human condition, my public library has made available to me stephen mitchell's narration of his translation of the tao te ching
5/who knows how often this quote from 19th century pioneering experimental psychophysiologist and pantheistic philosopher gustav fechner has been repeated here:
Of all miracles, the greatest is that anything exists at all.
