Had a wonderful long drive with my daughter day before yesterday, of all the people I know in real life no one understands and shares and exceeds at times my clusterfuckangstandanger more than my daughter (and son-in-law: it's them who will endure and maybe survive the coming decades, not me), but I'm like
and she, who does not digitally baste in the clusterfuck like I do, is like They are now glued back-to-back. Failed another novel, a reread of Vollmann's *Royal Family,* I'd like to blame my eyes and my age but my attention span in the clusterfuckocene more to blame than both combined (I also abandoned McCarthy's *Child of God* halfway through but McCarthy shares half the blame, the book, after reading the Border Trilogy and *Blood Meridian* years ago and especially after reading *Suttree* and *The Passenger* within the last year and a half, sucks). I can't try to quit the noise until I want to quit the noise and I'm nowhere near that but at least the thought has now crossed, if not lodged, in my mind
So, gridofangers for the foreseeable future. Starting a two week hexjeff hiatus I imposed on myself last week and plan to end tonight. Weeded the blogrolls - anyone who hasn't posted in three months shifted to one of the Moribund purgatories - W in Phoenix, Z in Milwaukee, this means you - so if any resurrect I'll see it. If there's anyone you're reading who you think I might like please send me the link (or the name of a novel, please, I need to fail a new one). When the bell rings at the circ desk I now count to ten before encountering the patron, imagine myself Fleabus drinking from instead of screaming at the bathtub faucet
Our shitlords will destroy the world before they give up their power
⬆
"NATO in talks to put nuclear weapons on standby"
⬆
ISRAEL’S NEW AIR WAR IN THE WEST BANK: NEARLY HALF OF THE DEAD ARE CHILDREN
"The New York Times owns a building in Jerusalem stolen from a Palestinian family during the Nakba"
"This focus on the speech used tο support Palestinian rights does more than obscure the context in which protesters are speaking; it also obscures the reality about which they speak. I believe in the power and importance of language. But what is happening is not primarily about language. Words are not weapons of mass destruction: when we encourage others to use language with care, we should be sure to do the same ourselves. Some metaphors are inappropriate in some contexts. The context here is a quantity of ammunition dropped on Gaza that is equivalent to more than three times that of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. A high proportion of those bombs were US-made and supplied. Those bombs were not made of language, and they certainly were not metaphors"
"You're either living in the old world with Biden, Trump, Clinton, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Jeffries, etc. who've all been bribed to provide legitimacy to Zionist lies, OR you're in the new world where we ignore ruling class attempts to manipulate us and we say "Free Palestine"
"The three devils - American Imperialism, Soviet Social Imperialism, Jewish Zionism" (watch Blinken's face)
House Republican Claims Every GOP Colleague Has an ‘AIPAC Babysitter’ Pressuring Them to Cast Pro-Israel Votes
Biden: it's not genocide/Zionists: fuck yeah it's genocide
"It sure is a crazy coincidence how western politicians and media always start urgently telling us about an invisible epidemic of left wing antisemitism every time western military ties to Israel are subjected to widespread public scrutiny"
If our ruling class did not want Donald Biden versus Joe Trump there would be a third alternative and there will never be a third alternative and in fact there is no second. Our shitlords will burn down the world to maintain their power even more urgently than they'll burn down the world to turn a profit and they can't burn the world down for profit if the burning down the world to save power fails first, hence crackerization in service of your obedience before immiseration. Duh. Rest of duh in gridofanger, an ongoinggag, as is the below, table salt, clear elmer's glue, watercolor ink, acrylic ink, gouache, no canvas but the salt
Shitlords drumming the duh into our heads repeatedly and relentlessly a vital part of our training and obedience, fine metaphors abound, another ongoinggag, I'm embracing if not celebrating the side-effects of my spot on the spectrum.
Our vet of twenty-five years sold his practice but still comes in twice a week and saw Rosie this past Wednesday and unlike the guy he sold the practice to who saw Rosie two weeks earlier and was too rosy in prognosis our old vet, after looking at Rosie's bloodwork, and despite my insistence that Rosie much better than two weeks before, said, As long as she is living keep her alive, when she soon is just existing it's time, good advice for all of us, yes? Hey the original dBs line-up reuniting for a tour, play DC mid-September, who's not going with me?
"(Shitlords) need you to be crazy, so they drive you crazy. If they can’t make you crazy, they try to convince you that you’re crazy. If they can’t convince you that you’re crazy, they try to convince everyone else that you’re crazy"
"The New York Times reports Israeli military is torturing people by impaling them with hot metal rods in their rectums and tying them to electric chairs. This information is buried at the end of a single article where these details are unmentioned in the headline or subheadline"
☝
"When the @nytimes has zero credible evidence of Hamas using rape as a weapon of war, it is front page, headline news. When the @nytimes has dozens of verified reports of the IDF systematically raping and torturing Palestinians to death, it is buried at the end of the article."
☝
☝
"John Kirby is gonna come out and say something like "hey listen, our guys sodomized Arabs too"
"There's no doubt that Trump is an evil bastard and we can judge that book by its cover. Biden on the other hand is the sneakiest evil bastard in American history. He uses Trump like a gun to our heads to move the US further right and Democrats are terrified of criticizing him"
I am telling you three times, you could have saved 5 million dollars in your IRA, you will be living in a refrigerator box and eating catfood in ten years if you are permitted to live/survive that long
"Twitter is owned by a fascist, the publisher of the New York Times is openly anti-Biden, CNN is doing Trump town halls, and the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal are run by Murdoch cronies. Here’s why liberal media bias is a problem"
"It's like Pelosi and Biden backing a staunch anti-abortion candidate in a (rare) safe seat in Texas over a woman with excellent progressive and feminist credentials. They got their man elected; now he's under indictment for money laundering and bribery. Centrists are so wise"
The real state of exception? To be truly messianic, Bailey would have to renounce any claim to serve
as a precedent, choosing instead to live out his peculiar form-of-life
in a way that enacts its absurdity. We can imagine that solitary vigil
as a kind of performance art piece that repeatedly exposes the limit of
the bourgeois rights he has uselessly reclaimed.
Datafication, or: shitlords profit from the plague
Why the Left keeps losing: The
left, bless their hearts, tend to think that there are rules, and
that they can play by them, win, and be allowed to rule. But all along
the process, the left’s opponents will not and do not play by the rules
when facing the left... The US overthrew multiple elected government
overseas if they considered
them left wing. At home, coincidentally, JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcom X
were all assassinated in a period of less than ten years, and we are
expected to believe the security apparatus had nothing to do with
that... Corbyn was deliberately sabotaged by his own bureaucracy,
because he
thought there were rules. His MPs sabotaged him. The press lied about
him over 75% of the time. Sanders was taken out when every opponent
except Biden all dropped out at the same time: a coordinated action
which I can’t remember a precedent for. It was NOT normal, it is not
what would have happened if a centrist had been beating Biden, they
would have been allowed to win, and there would have been no nonsense
about how that was happening because of a split field, because split
fields are normal.
Red blue yellow, limiting palette to primaries has taught me brown green grey orange and gray, purple bought by a blue private equity vicious nestball of vulture capitalist ticks and drained dry indigogoly, if I say so
Lots of Gerhart Richter (with a documentary w Richter on his process - watch!)
[I am a threat to life, a violent butter]
Joyelle McSweeney
I'm a threat to life, a violent butter. I spread my toxic inklings like a cloud -seeding-drone, & drop on crops my shake of violet water. As the clotted vena cava sucks dye for the camera, a violent thought turns all my justs to anger. A fist of cloud breaks the crowny crater, which vomits up its own grand cru, palpates the sternum of the sky for ulcerations. O fish in flume, resting on your mutagenic breasts, who do you give your milk to. O mouth that cannot close, oh planet cleft what cache of weapons do you lean on as you dream in your pleural cavity, desertified, depressed. Bad host, you clutch your guest.
Our sociopath overlords understand their jackals jesters and cops
Our sociopath overlords - with the occasional photo-op of old white male billionaire crying he's misunderstood because propaganda - don't bother ignoring me because my invective worth shit
Our sociopath overlords' jackals jesters and cops, oh my, call them jackals jesters and cops do our sociopath overlords' job
It is always decorum, never policy, for jackals jesters and cops
What barking fuck on MSNBC doesn't believe every woof he/she/they barks because I admit I have the chance to run them down on Nebraska or Mass and ruefully imagine what I'd do if I could get away with it?
Everybody carpet-bombing Sanders helping Sanders, I said last night at not Thursday Night Pints, Thursday Night Pints is dead though last night was Thursday and I had a pint at a table where three others had pints
It's pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring training for carpet-bombing Sanders season to re-gag a metaphor I bump relentlessly, I said
Consider the noise if Sanders wins Iowa then New Hampshire then South Carolina Hoowee!
if you don't want that noise you're no fun (two of three are no fun)
Confession: I don't hate Radiohead though don't post Radiohead here, it's Radiohead imitators, like Ashbery's, that fart
and someone I'd never met wearing a Radiohead hoodie sitting opposite of me at a Tombs table said huh and I said I am learning not to explain, and the two people I knew before the pints who are gleefully embracing their motherfucking Democrats apostasies (if one of them not crazy sandering) grateful I explained
I am witnessing apostasies, I said, wait for the BIG OBAMAPOSTASY after Sanders wins Iowa then New Hampshire then South Carolina (or even as early as post-Iowa, pre-New Hampshire (or even as early as pre-Iowa as motherfucking Obama's motherfucking surrogates already shouting Obama hates Bernie)) (nobody at the table but me old enough to have got a Bridget Loves Bernie allusion so I kept it to myself)
Sanders wom't win Iowa then New Hampshire then South Carolina, I said, it's against DNC rules, but shazam, if
Insubordination on Capitalism's flagship, not permitted, mutiny not permitted, peasant revolution, ofay opscay rapid militarized against, I said
I'm not pro-Sanders, I said, I'm crazy for pissing off crazy anti-Bernies
Crazy Bernie, I said, I for one will attend his grand opening of the first gulag for mnuchins, bells on
