“I work to live, I don’t live to work” Does your heart stop beating when you clock in? · @SobSax Longtime Creative Loafing writer and editor Cliff Bostock has died after a long battle with cancer. Hs article for Creative Loafing’s 50th anniversary issue, its last in print, discussed attitudes toward journalism, · Attorney Ashleigh Merchant has filed a motion to try to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to comply with a subpoena ordering her to testify on Thursday at an evidentiary hearing against Willis’ office. In the filing, it said Willis’ social media accounts showed Willis was in Los Angeles attending a fundraising event for her reelection campaign. · Arthur Eugene Dunaway 1894–1930 Arthur Eugene Dunaway b. 3 March 1894, d. 8 May 1930 – Arthur Eugene Dunaway was born on 3 March 1894 at Obion County, Tennessee. He married Mattie Vance Quin, daughter of Hugh Pharr Quin and Bettie Lou DuBose, on 12 June 1920. Arthur Eugene Dunaway died on 8 May 1930 at Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas, at age 36. He was buried at Linwood Cemetery, Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas. – Child of Arthur Eugene Dunaway and Mattie Vance Quin – Jean Dunaway+ b. 23 Jul 1922, d. 18 Dec 1998 Jean Dunaway was born on 23 July 1922 at Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. She was the daughter of Arthur Eugene Dunaway and Mattie Vance Quin. Jean Dunaway married Luther Campbell McKinnon on 6 October 1951. Jean Dunaway died on 18 December 1998 at Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, at age 76. · Arthur Eugene Dunaway born March 3, 1894 died May 8, 1930 · 9-11 Part Two · For a long time, I posted my 9-11 story every year, on September 11.. This year, the Presidential debate was on September 10, and it dominated “the conversation” on September 11. Maybe we are moving on, and giving 9-11 its proper place in history. · 2001: A Space Odyssey came out in 1968. 2ASO presented a vision of the future. It turns out the reality of 2001 was “terrorists” using our space age technology against us, with devastating results. HAL, the murderous computer, may have been the one prophecy that did come true. · 9-11 was a watershed moment. 9-11 was caused by what came before, and affected what came after. We will never know the full story. 2001 was neck deep in the digital revolution, giving the conspiracy talkers a handy forum for their wonderful opinions. Unfortunately, not everyone has integrity, or good intentions. Whether 9-11 was an inside job, or a terrorist attack, the US government gained a great deal of power. Most of the things they did with it did not work out very well. This has also powered the conspiracy industrial complex. · In the last five years,Whe we have had four watershed events: COVID 19, George Floyd, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and October 7. Each component of this grand slam has similarities and differences to each other, and to 9-11. All five events have had a fruit basket turnover effect. Liberals have become conseratives, conservatives have become liberals, and many have wondered why we need those labels anyway. Hypocrisy has become the national pastime. · This is the first paragraph, faithfully pasted in every year: “This is my 911 story. I repeat it every year at this time. Every year I say this will be the last time. This year is a mess. We are destroying the village to save it. The action part of 091101 was over by 11 am. This quagmire drags on and on. Nobody knows how things will turn out.” · One more paragraph is worth repeating: “I became alienated from Jesus during these years. Once, I had once been tolerant of Christians and Jesus, as one would be with an eccentric relative. I began to loath the entire affair. I hear of others who found comfort in religion during this difficult time. That option simply was not available for me.” After September 11/October 7, this fear and loathing has extended to all popular versions of Yahweh worship. · Pictures from Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library. “This item is part of a collection of images of downtown Atlanta streets that were taken before the viaduct construction of 1927 – 1929. Some of the covered streets became part of Underground Atlanta.” · Notes on the State of Virginia · Notes on the State of Virginia is the only full length book written by Thomas Jefferson.. Written while the Revolutionary War was still being fought, NOTSIV was not intended for publication. The following passage is on page 147. · “It will probably be asked, Why not retain and incorporate the blacks into the state, and thus save the expence of supplying, by importation of white settlers, the vacancies they will leave? Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand recollections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinctions which nature has made; and many other circumstances, will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions which will probably never end but in the extermination of the one or the other race.” · “… Besides those of colour, figure, and hair, there are other physical distinctions proving a difference of race. They have less hair on the face and body. They secrete less by the kidnies, and more by the glands of the skin, which gives them a very strong and disagreeable odour. This greater degree of transpiration renders them more tolerant of heat, and less so of cold, than the whites. … They seem to require less sleep. A black after hard labour through the day, will be induced by the slightest amusemements to sit up till midnight, or later, though knowing he must be out with the first dawn of the morning.” · “They are at least as brave, and more adventuresome. But this may perhaps proceed from a want of fore-thought, which prevents their seeing a danger till it be present. When present, they do not go through it with more coolness or steadiness than the whites. They are more ardent after their female: but love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation. Their griefs are transient. Those numberless afflictions, which render it doubtful whether heaven has given life to us in mercy or in wrath, are less felt, and sooner forgotten with them. …” · Pictures are from The Library of Congress · selah · Cliff Bostock · @SobSax Longtime Creative Loafing writer and editor Cliff Bostock has died after a long battle with cancer.. Hs article for Creative Loafing’s 50th anniversary issue, its last in print, discussed attitudes toward journalism … · I had not heard anything from Cliff in a while. In the early nineties, you could not avoid him. He wrote restaurant reviews for Creative Loafing, and intensely personal pieces for Etc. That article gives you a feel for the voice of Cliff Bostock. · Cliff had a story, and a point of view. Defiantly gay, scarred by the AIDS calamity, Cliff said plenty of things you are not supposed to say. For a while, he was pumping out 3,000 words a week, for anyone who cared to read. “Intensely personal” may not be adequate to describe his work. One person said he would rather walk naked down Peachtree Street, than publish things like that. · It turns out that Cliff has been writing for Georgia Voice. Fagrags are not what they used to be, and they are doing without me as a reader. Cliff has, as usual, vocal about his experience. (March 8 April 6 June 7) Glioblastoma multiforme is the vehicle for this one way journey. · AIDS is a constant presense here. I believe I once saw Cliff write something about getting tested, followed by a staunch refusal to give his own results. Whatever the outcome, Cliff managed to hang on to life until now, which is an achievement. ” I often feel like my mind is hosting a marathon séance, with dead friends constantly popping into my head.” · In the early oughts, Gay.com was an online hangout. Cliff adopted the name Bachelard, and made his presense known. I was PiersGavestonJr … two chatters named after Frenchmen. Cliff said that he met me at a meet-and-greet, but I am not sure. … If you type gay.com into a browser, you will go to Los Angeles LBGT Center.

I heard your discussion about the “McCarthy-ization” of anti-semitism today.

This is my first post to this blog. Maybe I should start with a summary of my life . I am 51yo, 6’5″190# single white male residing just outside Chamblee GA. 50 hours ago, the owner of the company I was working for called me into the office, and said “I am gonna have to let you go, there is not enough work to keep you.” I had been there 13 days. I still don’t know which end is up. More later.. · I had gotten into the lamentable business of arguing with strangers online. To make a comment, I had to start an account with Blogspot, which created Chamblee54.blogspot.com. The account I trolled has been deleted.
