Rest and Look at this Goddamned Wheelbarrow. Whatever It Is

No, Zohran Mamdani is not going to save you even if the world's shittiest people let him try, which they won't*, but yes, Mamdani's victory against the will and might and money of the world's shittiest people satisfying, but a vital reminder: in the immediate grid below a catalog of horrible crimes currently being executed by the world's shittiest people who think the greatest threat to their power is a smart, charismatic, self-proclaimed socialist who believes in rent control and thinks public transportation and child care should be free. 

*They are going to FREAK THE FUCK OUT! and ALL! of it will be genuine, and the noise their shit-sprewers will generate will provide cover for Trump to move HARD right which the shit-spewers will venerate (rimshot). Professional Democrats will support this with their silent complicity at best, though most will cheer in their amoral heads. I'm glad Mamdavi won, mind, cause what the fuck, better start fighting now, just be ready, the fuglier than documented in the grid directly below gonna start soon

A RED WHEELBARROW

Jack Spicer

Rest and look at this goddamned wheelbarrow. Whatever
It is. Dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
For their significance. For being human
The signs escape you. You, who are not very bright,
Are a signal for them. Not,
I mean, the dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
Their significance.

  1. 1/a large language model of my acquaintance, associated with zuck markerberg, was triggered to produce:

    The Red Wheelbarrow Poem

    The original poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams is an imagist masterpiece that focuses on the beauty of everyday objects. The poem's significance lies in its ability to evoke a sense of wonder from ordinary things, like a red wheelbarrow glazed with rainwater beside white chickens. Williams' poem explores themes of perception, nature, and the importance of paying attention to small details ¹.

    Jack Spicer's Poem

    In contrast, Jack Spicer's poem with a similar title seems to use the wheelbarrow as a metaphor to focus on the human condition, rather than the object itself. The poem's tone is more abstract and questioning, inviting the reader to ponder the significance of ordinary things.

    2/speaking not of ordinary things, but of new things never seen before, last night on YouTube i watched grand old men of scientific climate crisis circles say the time has come for solar radiation management - SRM, aka geoengineering - they argue that thirty years of international anthropogenic global warming greenhouse gas emission reduction agreements have resulted in NO emission reductions, and they certainly have a point there

    3/over at powerpop blog I saw a video of a Japanese guitarist play "god only knows" - very nice - i'd have to look up his surname but his given name is "Kent"
