Police Shooting ~ White Extinction Anxiety ~ this is just the beginning ~ gizmodo Gizmodo Media Group is an online media company and blog network operated by Univision Communications in its Fusion Media Group division. The company was created from assets acquired from Gawker Media during its bankruptcy in 2016. On June 10, 2016, Gawker Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the company was ordered to pay $115 million in compensatory damages and a further $25 million in punitive damages in Bollea v. Gawker. On August 16, 2016, Univision Communications purchased Gawker for $135 million. The purchase did not include the flagship website Gawker. It included the websites Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jalopnik, and Lifehacker. Univision named the unit Gizmodo Media Group after one of its blogs, Gizmodo, in an effort to distance itself from the Gawker name. ~ woke support group ~ Muhammad Ashraf, the president of the Virginia-based Nationwide Chauffeured Services, said Monday that replacing the car could cost tens of thousands of dollars. ~ gizmodo thread ~ Animated Video Tells the Story of Jean-Paul Sartre & Albert Camus’ Famous Falling Out (1952) ~ Patrick Henry to Robert Pleasants 18 Jan. 1773 Would any one believe that I am Master of Slaves of my own purchase!

The text of Mr. Chamberlain’s “peace for our time” comment was trotted out. It seems as though Mr. Chamberlain used the phrase “peace with honor” in his comments. This was a favorite saying of Richard Nixon, when he was trying to get us out of Vietnam. ~ here is the poem from last night at java monkey. This was performed before the storm hit:

remember me to one who knows their shame ~ be governed by purple insanity

If you see something you want to share, you will need to go share it. While you are there, inevitably you will look at facebook, thus putting your peace of mind at risk. Like when two facebook friends shared a vile screed. What is the proper response to this? Say something, and get into a quagmire argument. Or just ignore it, and lose respect for the two men who liked this. I don’t want to be someone who hates others because of their opinions. The article says you should speak up, when it suits them. The good news is, the next poem I found in the archive addresses this issue.
it is is not about justice – it is having an emotional experience
that validates your privilege – the person judging you
is just as messed up as you are – it is is not about salvation
it is having an emotional experience – that validates your privilege

Bundy was great till he got you in the car. @chamblee54 Debbie Harry, of Blondie, turned down a ride by Ted Bundy @TheoRobertBundy Or I turned her down. Blondes are so passé. ~ @marcushjohnson I hate the “Liberal pundits criticizing Trump plays into his hands” narrative. Nobody said conservative criticism of Obama played to his hands. Their anger was treated as righteous not frivolous. Why? @chamblee54 It is not right or wrong, or equal treatment, but political strategy. Criticism of an incumbent usually plays into their hands. The more deranged the criticism, the better. I suspect somebody said that about Mr. Obama’s critics.

The wrestle of wrestlers, two apprentice-boys, quite grown, lusty, good-natured, native-born,
out on the vacant lot at sundown after work,
The coats and caps thrown down, the embrace of love and resistance,
The upper-hold and under-hold, the hair rumpled over and blinding the eyes;
The march of firemen in their own costumes,
the play of masculine muscle through clean-setting trowsers and waist-straps,
The slow return from the fire, the pause when the bell strikes suddenly again,
and the listening on the alert,
The natural, perfect, varied attitudes, the bent head, the curv’d neck and the counting;
Such-like I love—I loosen myself, pass freely, am at the mother’s breast with the little child,
Swim with the swimmers, wrestle with wrestlers,
march in line with the firemen, and pause, listen, count.
I knew a man, a common farmer, the father of five sons,
And in them the fathers of sons, and in them the fathers of sons.
This man was a wonderful vigor, calmness, beauty of person,
The shape of his head, the pale yellow and white of his hair and beard,
the immeasurable meaning of his black eyes, the richness and breadth of his manners,
These I used to go and visit him to see, he was wise also,
He was six feet tall, he was over eighty years old,
his sons were massive, clean, bearded, tan-faced, handsome,
They and his daughters loved him, all who saw him loved him,
They did not love him by allowance, they loved him with personal love,
He drank water only, the blood show’d like scarlet through the clear-brown skin of his face,
He was a frequent gunner and fisher, he sail’d his boat himself, he had a fine one presented to him by a ship-joiner, he had fowling-pieces presented to him by men that loved him,
When he went with his five sons and many grand-sons to hunt or fish,
you would pick him out as the most beautiful and vigorous of the gang,
You would wish long and long to be with him,
you would wish to sit by him in the boat that you and he might touch each other.

If we are a civilized people, then we do not shout down people when they are trying to speak. ~ I will vote a secret ballot. I usually vote in the Republican primary, because it has more action. However, this time, all the Republicans are turkeys, so I may choose between the two Staceys. Here is a bit more about these two ladies, and about the sad state of radical politics performance art. ~ pretty much every stereotypical _____ criticism of _____ is projection. ~ If nothing else, this type of reasoning might make some people shut up and think. A good example is telling a homophobe that he is secretly gay, and just covering up for it. If you really want to start something, tell an sjw that they are secretly racist, and overcompensating. ~ #NationalDayofPrayer “how we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me” Randy Newman ~ ” Acting exactly like the arrogant, snobbish, condescending liberal elite that they accuse us of being simply fosters a deeper divide in our nation and drives these people further into the arms of a demagogue like Trump.” Don’t you really mean racism? ~ @Tyler_InTheKnow “I never seen a ceiling in my whole life.” -Blue Ivy Tweets are MINE. #AKA #TeamAbrams This account’s Tweets are protected.

That’s like saying you are known for your beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. ~ @Styx666Official There once was a left wing candidate gal, But in the primaries went nuts and she failed, “By an old hag” they said, “Should the nation be led”, Then they blamed Russian nazis to no avail ~ there was a young lady named gail, in the primary voting she failed, she lost to an old hag, when she had it in the bag, blaming russian bots to no avail ~ an ornery jew named sanders, was quick with the witty slanders, his campaign washed ashore, got shot down by a whore, when black lives matter took a gander ~ pictures today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”. ~ Here is the poem from last night at java monkey:
caucasian opinion is like an butt hole ~ it should be kept clean quiet out of sight
unlike a preacher who covets your soul ~ and motivates you to go out and fight
put labels on jars not on my brother ~ conservative racist or liberal
or terrorist who’s always the other ~ words that eat us up like a cannibal
is it a lie or can it be true ~ if the lips are moving that is a clue
don’t stick around for the demagogue shout ~ the devil knows the bible in and out
toxic manipulation for the win ~ never forget we are all god’s children ~ selah

A guy tells his friend: “I think my wife is dead.” Friend: “You THINK your wife is dead?” Guy: “Yeah. The sex is the same, but the dishes keep stacking up.” ~ Kim Zolciak-Biermann of ‘RHOA’ cries while stating racism isn’t ‘real’ ~ Commentary: My $200,000 Debt Should Not Disqualify Me For Governor of Georgia ~ @awildejake dude sorry but do you need help cleaning up your word soup you spilled it everywhere and it’s kind of a mess ~ Waffle House shooting victims ID’d ~ People Are Worrying That Kanye West Is Getting Radicalized By The Far Right ~ Should Asperger Syndrome Be Renamed? Unearthed Documents Reveal Disturbing Truth About Hans Asperger ~ Heretics ~ Winston Johnson ~ Civility is more than good manners. It is an essential ingredient in an effective adversarial legal system such as ours. The absence of civility would produce a system of justice that would be out of control and impossible to manage: normal disputes would be unnecessarily laced with anger and discord; citizens would become disrespectful of the rights of others; corporations would become irresponsible in conducting their business; governments would become unresponsive to the needs of those they serve; and alternative dispute resolution would be virtually impossible. ~ To avoid incivility’s evil consequences of discord, disrespect, unresponsiveness, irresponsibility, and blind advocacy, we must encourage lawyers to embrace civility’s positive aspects. Civility allows us to understand another’s point of view. It keeps us from giving vent to our emotions. It allows us to understand the consequences of our actions. It permits us to seek alternatives in the resolution of our problems. All of these positive consequences of civility will help us usher in an era where problems are solved fairly, inexpensively, swiftly, and harmoniously. The public expects no less and we must rise to the occasion in meeting those expectations. ~ The U.S. Has Never Had a Black Woman as Governor. Stacey Abrams Plans to Change That. ~ @StephenMolldrem “There was never a time when I did not make sentences in order to make those things that I had experienced cohere and become ‘real.’” – Gore Vidal @chamblee54 the next sentence: “Finally, the novelist must always tell the truth as he understands it while the politician must never give the game away.” ~ hair truthers ~ @ChelseaClinton Hi @amychozick!

That scared me. ~ @Twitter is so much fun. I was going to say #Racist I typed in #Rac and waited for the auto suggest. The top choice was #RachelDolezal ~ There is going to be a backlash to the Trump hate party. ~ Do you mean Trump haters or Trump supporters who are haters? Your wording doesn’t make it clear. ~ I mean the backlash will form in the general public, as a reaction to Trump derangement syndrome. As it did to the hysterical rhetoric surrounding Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama. Haters don’t know when to quit, and they assume that most people agree with them. ~ If Batman was Jewish, and had a daughter, what would you call her coming of age ritual? ~ Incident in Key West: Tennessee Williams was having dinner, with a one eyed man, and a lady. The one eyed man got upset, and threw his glass eye at the lady. It fell in her soup. She dished the eye out of her soup, passed it back to the man, and said this belongs to you. ~ #BadHygieneTips was the poem for last night

The Whole World Is Concerned
display of a link on this page is not an indication of content approval ~ ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY–NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND READ THE BACK—CAREFULLY! With all the food …and pet products now coming from China , it is best to make sure you read label at the grocery store and especially Walmart when buying food products. Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. It is important to read the bar code to track it’s origin. How to read Bar Codes …. interesting! This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it’s a concern to you. GREAT WAY TO “BUY USA & CANADA ” AND NOT FROMCHINA!! The whole world is concerned about China-made “black hearted goods”. Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan . This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA”, so they don’t show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode – remember if the first 3 digits are: 690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA 00 – 09 … USA & CANADA 30 – 37 FRANCE 40 – 44 GERMANY 471 … Taiwan 49 … JAPAN 50 … UK BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for “0” at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get! Pass this on to everybody on your E-Mail Contact List!! If the government won’t help us, we MUST help ourselves. ~ Glenn Greenwald on Syria “I think we ought to have learned the lesson by now that when we cheer for military action by Western governments in the Middle East, because we’ve been emotionally manipulated to be angry about some genuinely horrific act, it doesn’t end up doing anything other than making us feel good, and it usually ends up making the situation worse.” ~ Boxer Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguard shot outside Buckhead hotel ~ Don’t Give Away Historic Details About Yourself ~ Book at Bedtime ~ A Landslide of Classic Art Is About to Enter the Public Domain ~ Truth About Homosexuality in the Roman Empire ~ medical hack ~ Jones Good Ass BBQ And Foot Massage Curry Chicken Sauce ~ Biased media coverage of ‘chemical attack’ in Syria could provoke a dangerous new war ~ ‘It makes me never want to call 911 again,’ neighbor says after Stephon Clark shooting ~ my voter page ~ 9-13.000 – Obtaining Evidence ~ Owner of Third Ward’s St. Paul Fish Company claps back on bad review ~ The American Legion Halloween Dance ~ prompts ~ Was Shakespeare one of the Translators of the King James Bible? William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616. The creation of the King James Bible began in the year 1610, the year in which Shakespeare would have been 46 years old. If you turn to Psalm 46 in the King James Bible, and if you count exactly 46 words into the psalm, you find the word “shake.” If you count 46 words back from the end of that psalm, you will find the word “spear.” It just seems too coincidental to think that it was by fluke circumstances that the 46th Psalm would be translated around the time of Shakespeare’s 46th birthday and that the 46th word from the start and the 46th word from the end would be “shake” and “spear.” My professional opinion is, Shakespeare translated that section of the King James Bible and he slipped in a secret byline to prove it was his work. ~ But Is It Wise To Be Against White(nes)s? ~ “It’s Okay to be White” Cards Discovered in Boxes of Diapers Purchased at Target ~ How Should We Check Our Privilege? ~ patriot mobile ~ Woman pulls gun during brawl in Chick-fil-A drive-thru ~ William S.

Call the Corporate office at 1-800-782-7282 and demand that she be fired!!! ~ @eugenegu Dear Starbucks, Calling the police to arrest two black guys just for being there is not an “incident.” It’s racism at its ugliest level. And it should have no place in America. ~ @sydscifi ~ This disgusting racial bias and persecution is rearing it’s ugly head because of the Racist-in-Chief, @realDonaldTrump, who sits in the White House (for now). @chamblee54 blaming this on president whatshisname is going a bit far @sydscifi Disagree. Before Trump, most racists tried to hide their true feelings. Not anymore! ~ @DennysDiner imagine the sleep lines on your face if you fell asleep on a pile of hash browns ~ @CriminalShow I listened to episode 87, Casper, Wyoming Becky is now a racial slur, used by black people to describe white women It is a cruel irony. ~ @BukowskiQuotess @BukowskiBitch @bukowskiquoteus @BukowskiDiz @Bukowski @soulhandcuffed @DailyBukowskiTw @bukowski_quote ~ if you fell asleep on a pile of hash brownsimagine the sleep lines on your face ~ @yanblaze I wish people would stop pushing that “quit your job and give 100% to your passion” narrative onto people.

Please show me something else. ~ Is he related to Cow Tippins, the midtown restaurateur? ~ Good thing you got your heart back from San Francisco. ~ #BoycottStarbucks Does anybody know full story? The video tells us little. How long had they be there? Were they asked to leave? How did they respond to being asked to leave? Were they abusive to other customers? Often, in a story like this, there is more that is not reported. ~ In paying clueless lip service to POC causes, the demoze alienated enough white people to elect whatshisname ~ Do you know where the event is going to take place? One aspect of the Charlottesville disaster is that the park, where the event took place, is one square city block. By contrast, Stone Mountain park, the setting for your FUBU video, is 3,000 acres. This is plenty of room to keep all the players separated, where Charlottesville packed them all into less than an acre. When all the mischief makers are on top of each other, there is a greater likelihood of conflict. ~ Queer is a great word for poets. It rhymes with many useful words, like beer and rear. Others include clear, dear, fear, gear, here, jeer, Kier, leer, near, peer, sear, tear, veer, year. ~ Last night, I received a *survey* on the phone from “victory processing”. They asked me who I was likely to vote for in the Republican primary. Then the robovoice read a biographic sketch of Clay Tippins, one of candidates. I had never heard of Mr. Tippins before this robocall. The robovoice then asked me if the Tippins talk was persuasive, and asked, one more time, who I was likely to vote for in the Republican primary. This is probably the worst robocall ever. ~ pigeon overhead, fertilizer on the way, attorney beware ~ Somebody wrote once: “The only time I felt sorry for Richard Nixon is when I found out he had shingles.” ~ @kale0579 Starbucks needed to answer certain questions in their statement and make certain clarifications also, they failed to do that. 1) why were the police called and by who 2) WE ARE SORRY TO THE TWO MEN ARRESTED AND WILL CONTACT THEM PERSONALLY 3) This is not the policy of Starbucks 4- How long had the men been there? ~ 5- Were they asked to leave? How did they react to being asked to leave? How many times were they asked to leave? Had they been asked to leave this Starbucks before? 6- Did this intown Starbucks have a problem with non customers loitering? 7- Where were the men standing? Did they interfere with other customers trying to place orders? Starbucks has been advised by attorneys to say as little as possible. Anything that might have justified this incident is not being said. ~ #ImShowingMyAge is the sunday night poem at java monkey this week. A first time poet performer slept through it.
