“around this they banned clapping banned it like I’m gonna end up in the gulag someday fucking clapping I know by these people” No, jh was suggested as an alternative. Don’t believe everything you read. ~ “Two things I can’t stand, a man that ain’t true and one that mocks what is.” ~ @catturd2 For all you foolish Tulsi Gabbard fans … She just voted for the illegal impeachment coup. She’s just a better looking Nancy Pelosi. ~ @AnnCoulter No she didn’t. Tulsi is a SENATOR, meaning she’s in the SENATE and doesn’t vote on HOUSE resolutions. ~ I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. ~ Several years ago, when we started doing audience surveys at @radioambulante, we discovered something interesting: 20% of our listeners were using our stories to learn Spanish. So we started asking ourselves what we could do to better serve them. / THREAD ↓ ~ @PithyJoe I heard the best explanation of how social commentary should be treated in art: the story is a car and the message is its passengers. If you want to get somewhere, it’s a lot easier to have the car carry the people than vice-versa. ~ I had a line in a poem that was not working. It started with “do coke in the bathroom”. It needed four more beats. The last one needed to rhyme with today. Here are the possibilities. do coke in bathroom the very next day, do coke in bathroom wearing lingerie, do coke in the bathroom instant replay, do coke in bathroom next to the highway, do coke in bathroom with the kkk ~ Sanders: U.S. Should Withhold Military Aid Unless Israel ‘Fundamentally Changes’ Relationship With Gaza ~ For years, I would look at the New Yorker in magazine racks. The have a list of cartoonists, in order of appearance, on the table of contents. I would see where the Addams cartoon was, and look ahead to see it. After a while, I no longer saw Mr.Addams in the list. It wasn’t until 1991 that I learned that he had died in 1988. ~ One night, the opening act for the second show started with a cheap transistor radio playing on an empty stage. Soon, the crowd became quiet to listen to it. The announcer said this act was the new force of rock in Atlanta. Someone walked on stage, and dropped a large rock on top of the transistor radio. ~ I’m the Woman From A-ha’s “Take on Me” Video, and Life with a Comic Book Character Has Been No Fairy Tale ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

@realDonaldTrump As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over….the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate.

A police detective friend once noted that many of their suspects are guilty, and one quick way to determine if they were guilty is that they just can’t shut up. The officer and suspect would be sitting at a desk while the officer was writing up a report, and the suspect would just continue continuously talking. At one point, Bob looked over at a particularly guilty suspect and stated: “You have the right to remain silent, and I would appreciate it if you took advantage of that right.” ~ @chamblee54 @billscher @mattklewis “likely we need a good Johnnie Cochran if the glove don’t fit you must acquit if something you must convict” if he grabs him by the dick, you must convict ~ @Vinncent A classic joke in literally dozens of languages: “Why has there never been a military coup in the United States?” “Because there is no US Embassy in the United States.” ~ Historic pictures, unlike history text, can be believed without question. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
This poem was read tuesday night at the red light cafe:
in the happy house when your soul is true ~ comforting body of water to see
boo depends on painting the heart so blue ~ whispering cloudy secrets to tell you
go mingle my soul and soak me up free ~ in the happy house when your soul is true
you’re in the right church but the wrong pew ~ go seek the dancer but not the pasty
boo depends on painting the heart so blue ~ each drop of his blood cries out for the brew
leave behind the sour and bitter tea ~ in the happy house when your soul is true
escape your dark highway for barbeque ~ celebrate eating honey from the bee
boo depends on painting the heart so blue ~ let the beauty we love be what we do
drain your desire till the cup carries me ~ in the happy house when your soul is true
boo depends on painting the heart so blue
This poem was read sunday night in Decatur:
orthopedic irony under birds ~ person attempting to find a moral
cold blooded nembutal slaughter of words ~ unprotected youth getting off on oral
holy man show of originality ~ thoughtful unblessed presbyterian
rising from affluence to poverty ~ loyalty to petrified opinions
your life is too short to be unhappy ~ let go of what you won’t kiss gently
cry when you take a sad chance badly ~ smile happy while you listen intently
let go of what you won’t kiss gently ~ apologize when you mumble something
laugh when you go dancing at nothing ~ smile happy while you listen intently
apologize when you mumble something ~ cry when you take a sad chance badly
laugh when you go dancing at nothing ~ your life is too short to be unhappy ~ selah

@MattWalshBlog Telling children that our species is headed for imminent extinction is psychological abuse. Climate alarmists are child abusers. They aren’t just wrong and stupid — though they are those things — they’re also morally depraved. ~ The Lady of Us: Remembering Anne Rivers Siddons There was a box on the sidewalk, in front of Book Nook. Someone took some books to sell, and the store did not buy them. One of the books was “Downtown” by Anne Rivers Siddons. It was about Atlanta, the magazine and the city. It was set in the sixties. It was a wonderful book. ~ Twitter just taught me demonym, “A noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc.” Now pedophrasty. I need to stay off social media for a while. ~ “Brenda Demi girl says anyone who says that trans women aren’t women I curse with the cramps and diarrhea I’m having today … I replied at trans women do not PMS your diarrhea seems to be due to the fact that you’re foolish” ~ As would be true in the series, the star of the pilot was Willy Gilligan, the ship’s reed-thin first mate. Although extremely likeable and well-meaning, Gilligan was the classic bumbler, forever breaking things, causing other people to have accidents and generally getting under foot … The other crewman was the ship’s portly captain, named Jonas Grumby. Throughout the series Grumby would be referred to as the Skipper…. The passengers consisted of millionaire Thurston Howell III, his socialite wife Eunice Wentworth (“Lovey”) Howell, and three others: Ginger Grant, a “B” movie star; Dr. Roy Hinkley, better known as the Professor, a high school science teacher; and Bunny, the typical girl next door. Just before the series premiered, Bunny’s name was changed to Mary Ann Summers. These five characters had been carefully selected by Schwartz to create (along with Gilligan and the Skipper) a “social microcosm.” ~ @FullFrontalSamB Genuinely shocked the White House felt they needed to extort a foreign power to trip up Joe Biden when normally all you have to do is let him talk. ~ Be at war with your Vices, at Peace with your Neighbours, and let every New-Year find you a better Man. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Poor Richard’s Almanack (1755) ~ I have been getting promoted tweets that take a anti-Hezbollah hard line. They are from @ajcglobal, which is connected to an “American Jewish Committee.” They have a logo. The capital letters AJC are displayed against a dark blue background. It is very, very similar to the Atlanta Journal-Constituition logo. ~ @areltahry Elizabeth Warren V. Palestine: This is a thread on Elizabeth Warren’s major (but not comprehensive) history and current stance on Palestine, in 14-points. ~ The B.E.E. Podcast – 9/27/19 – Timewarp: 1978 – Emerson Dameron parks in Atlanta GA because he likes free parking. He gets out of the car. He does not mention what neighborhood he is in, which is a critical detail. He gets robbed. Mr. Dameron then calls the robber dumb. Does anyone else see the irony here? ~ Woman butchers her naked model sister, 17, before gouging out her eyes and hacking off her ears in a jealous frenzy ~ A jazz musician bought a dairy farm in Kentucky. Since it was Kentucky, they had blue grass there. The cows ate the blue grass, and mooed indigo. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ this birthday tribute to Rumi was read last night in Decatur:
church is the place where light enters earth ~ the fantasy house where your hammer nails
each drop of my blood cries out to your worth ~ one should never remember the details
leave behind all the sour and bitter ~ turn dirt in your heart to fabulous gold
move outside the perpetual glitter ~ flowing like the river that never grows old
i searched for g-d found only myself ~ i searched for myself found only g-d

The alternative weekly reader has hit the ether. Yesterday was the first day of the NFL season. At 1:05, I turned the tv on. The Falcons were making their first punt of the new year. It was blocked. ~ #PalindromeWeek is here #PalinDivorce does not qualify ~ Why do people burn chemicals in an electronic device, and pull the fumes into their body? Is it the taste? Do you get a buzz from it? What is going on here? ~ you mentioned Donald Trump very briefly and I’m not gonna get into an argument with you about whether or not he’s a racist that I don’t regard that as a productive use of our time ~ we are simply the products of an oppressive history and any flaws you find in our social functioning are to be attributed to what To white people white supremacy it smacks of somebody who we will leave nameless in this conversation but you know who I’m talking about and this house this whole shtick this whole apologia that’s what it is it’s apologia it is giving an account of failure that’s what it is it’s laying off the responsibility for failure on structured okay and you know I find that deeply philosophically unsatisfying ~ @OverheardOnDuty Wtf why is it inappropriate for a cop to tweet about sex? How do you think baby cops are made? When a mommy cop and daddy cop love each other and express that love through handcuffs, bodycam porn, and confiscated drugs, a baby cop is born. Grow up. ~ @ChaseMit Congratulations to Felicity Huffman on making it into an exclusive institution based purely on merit ~ @OverheardOnDuty First on scene to a wreck a while ago. Two were trapped and a fire was spreading from the hood. I had to break the drivers arm to get her untangled. By that point the fire was into the compartment. I’m glad she passed out in pain. She didn’t have to watch her husband burn alive. ~ @OverheardOnDuty Well at one point she was my slam piece and turned into my girlfriend. We had a kid and she dumped my for my brother. Then she married him but then got with my nephew. So that’s who she threw the hatchet at. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ this poem was performed tuesday night:

I searched the wikiquotes page for Mohandas Gandhi. The search terms used were lose, find, service, others. This quote did not appear. ~ Interview lady: Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth posted this idea that women are drawn to the bass because it’s the naturally nurturing role Tina Weymouth: oh please I don’t think it has anything to do with gender and it’s one of the reasons I I don’t i’ve always (avoided) answering feminist questions it’s just such it’s so loaded if you want to do something just do it don’t talk about it and don’t criticize other women if if if they want to go out you know and swing on a wrecking ball naked why not let them do what they want we just are smart as women because we have our balls neatly tucked inside where they’re protected and that’s that ~ @chamblee54 I don’t understand that and like the amount of time I spent on this because like I’m not a professional reporter I’m not even a professional writer I don’t know what I’m doing ~ Dauber’s opponents, however, often speculate that the recall was an act of revenge because of her friendship with Emily Doe’s family. After Doe penned a searing 12-page letter to Turner that quickly went viral, critics suggested Dauber had been the author. Dauber flatly rejected that accusation, and dismissed the notion that she’s out for personal revenge as “so ridiculous it doesn’t even deserve a response.” ~ Stanford University law professor Michele Dauber is one of the leaders of the recall campaign. Dauber is a friend of the victim’s and was in the courtroom for Turner’s sentencing. She’s an outspoken on-campus activist who has helped push through more stringent sexual harassment and abuse reporting and investigation policies. Dauber also is an adept Democratic fundraiser who has organized a well-financed recall campaign with glossy mailers juxtaposing photos of Persky with President Trump and Turner’s booking mug shot. ~ and ask do you have a good working definition of racist it’s it’s a it’s a word that’s that’s often used and rarely defined okay I mean I’m not you know gonna give you a dictionary definition but I would say something like a person who has unreasoning contempt or disdain based on the race of another person a person who believes a set of things without factual foundation that are discrediting you know blacks are lazy Jews or greedy can’t be trusted things of this town okay so strong effective reaction against the group along with unfounded beliefs that support the the hostility the antagonism ~ mean it’s true that I mean like you I look on social media like Twitter and see things I consider egregious virtue signaling and they drive me nuts on the other hand what none of us is ever entirely non performative or I mean we always have a peer group in mind that we’re trying to impress right ~ Whenever Glenn talks about incarceration here, he seems to mention Stanford… they are currently in the news, with the (commercially motivated) re-emergence of Brock Turner. Some want to change the school to prison pipeline to a swimming pool to prison pipeline ~ > @existentialcoms A lot of people don’t seem to get this, but being nasty online 24/7 is “problematic”, regardless of how “correct” your opinion are. No one wants to live in the world you are creating. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

chamblee54 – Yesterday, there was a discussion here about the term Cross Keys. Here is what I found. In four years at Cross Keys High School, I never heard anyone say what it meant. ~ Mr. Bear – Nice nosing around c54. As with any good research, the answers spur a new set of questions. Like bringing up the subject of restaurant sit-ins and of why Herren’s survived a lot longer than Leb’s and the Pickrick. I’m old enough to remember the demonstrators who were outside my high school baccalaureate ceremony. And that the issues which were raised found remedy later that summer. A different time. Thanks. ~ chamblee54 – The buildings that housed Leb’s and Herren’s are still standing. Herren’s is now a theater. The Pickrick was bought by Georgia Tech, of course, used as a storage building, and demolished. I always thought it should be remembered in some way. When you tell a story, you should tell about the villains, as well as the heroes. I worked with this man once who claimed to have worked at the Pickrick. He said they had a parrot, which he taught to cuss. The night Lester was on the Dick Cavett show, Truman Capote was one of the other guests. Mr. Capote said, in his own inimitable manner, that he had eaten at the Pickrick. “All I’m going to say is that it was not finger lickin’ good.” ~ Mr. Bear – In my feeble bear brain, I seem to remember the cussing parrot story. It’s funny what gets remembered and what doesn’t. People who make it a point to know such stuff make a point of remembering the ax handles and his penchant for riding a bicycle backwards, but they forget his opening the governor’s office to all comers for “Little People’s Day” and for his efforts toward prison reform in Georgia. However odd he might have been, he was honest. I’ve got an ax-handle story from 1968 that is probably best lost to the mists of memory…… ~ chamblee54 – The time I went to “Little People’s Day” it was held at the Govenors Mansion. “The migration north continued to West Paces Ferry Road when the current Governor’s Mansion officially opened on January 1, 1968. Lester Maddox was the first governor to occupy the current Governor’s Mansion.” The previous GM was on The Prado in Ansley Park. “The large granite home sat impressively on three hilltop acres, but the scale of the house was not considered large enough for many state functions. The grandness of the house was also not enhanced … by the goats and cows that were kept on site during the terms of both Eugene Talmadge and Herman, his son and later governor.” ~ Archival Atlanta: Electric Street Dummies, the Great Stonehenge Explosion, Nerve Tonics, and Bovine Laws : Forgotten Facts and Well-Kept Secrets from Our City’s Past is a book about Atlanta history ~ I got into a conversation about Arlo Guthrie. I saw where a post had been recycled. This was the result. This is about the perfect country western song, Ed Muskie, and the first time I heard the word empathy ~ @franssuper How in the name of the universe could I respect any fascist, nazi or white supremacist? @chamblee54 See people as human beings instead of walking labels. ~ pictures for you today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

School Is Accused of Racial Insensitivity Over Hairstyle Guidelines Display “What happened in DeKalb,” she said, “is the reason those natural hair ban laws should be expanded across the country.” ~ I mean yes I do think he’s a racist and I wrote a piece about it in the Atlantic about a year ago at this point where I was saying that even if he used the n-word it wouldn’t surprise me it’s clear how he feels and so part of me at this point everybody’s clutching their pearls of these things that he’s writing and I’m thinking why this is what he’s like the only question is why you have this cluster of events and whether or not he’s cannily thinking I’m gonna whip up my base by saying racist things and I honestly don’t think the man has enough forethought or mentals its flesh I don’t think he has the staying power to plan anything politically he might have a certain snail-like sense that a racist no I’m sorry I can’t even whit’s people up and he wants to start whipping up his base maybe but that’s ~ @chamblee54 @GlennLoury @JohnHMcWhorter @bloggingheads I mean yes I do think he’s a racist at a recent meeting in South Bend, some representatives of Al Sharpton tried to speak. The local activists said, this is our problem, you don’t need to be here. ~ Tucker Carlson wrongly tells his viewers the country’s white supremacy problem ‘is a hoax’ ~ If you try to draw a maze, you use the same template as when you draw a labyrinth. It is a concentric circle, with alternating layers. One layer is the path, one layer is the wall. The path defines the walls, and the walls define the path. The difference between a maze, and a labyrinth, is where you put the doors, turnarounds, and blocks. With the maze, you have choices. If you make the correct choices, you get to the center sooner. If you make an incorrect choice, you will go on a useless side journey. With the labyrinth, you have no choices. However, you have the longest possible path into the center. ~ Reporter Confronts Residents About Trump’s Baltimore Comments. They Demolish The Left’s Narrative, Heckle Al Sharpton. ~ @KidRock Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl. -Kid Rock ~ #BooksForTrolls Lord of the Dings by JRR Trollkien ~ @lookner At least 62 dead in Tanzania — a fuel tanker overturned and local people were trying to siphon fuel from it when it exploded ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ this poem was read last night in decatur:
