The pictures are haiku reductions. I take a bit of text, and break it down into 5 – 7 – 5. “women satanic MAN family Democrat power abortion” was based on a meme at r/religiousfruitcake. “Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.” ~ soon three-year-olds will know everything long before anybody else ~ I was in a meeting once, where they put comments on post-it notes, and stuck them on a whiteboard. One person said that perfectionism was a part of white supremacy, and should be fought. After the meeting, the perfectionism post-it note fell off the whiteboard. ~ Breaking Points has a video, shot by CNN, of an Emory Professor being knocked to the ground, and arrested. Here is the current headline at CNN.com. ~ “I think I know what this means” … it must be something that i ate is it the differential that I ate? i am much more comfortable with eating same old same old, but someone is telling me to be different dinner or is it the alien that i ate?“What am I doing right now” it depends on what planet. if it was from my home planet of thrunomulax, it would be ok. the thing is, thrumombuburgers leave a pleasant taste in my mouth, which is not there now. so it must have been from another planet, and my intergalactic culinary adventurism is at a low ebb. ever since i ate something from the planet bigmaxottos, i have sworn off food from other planets “Better days are ahead, I’m sure of it “ ~ this haiku reduction was based on a meme posted at r/religiousfruitcake. If you go there today, you will see this: “Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.” The comment about Tucker Carlson was pasted on by X. ~ Things you do when you are retired: I looked at my precinct card, from the Secretary of State’s office. It said I was in GA05. I then looked at a district map, and it said I was in GA04. I called SOS. They said to call Dekalb County. The county said the maps had not been updated. This did not make sense. Before 2020, I was in GA06. I voted in that insane special election of 2017. Since the district map did not show me in GA06, I thought it had been updated. My neighborhood is in a different district every ten years. The first SOS contact gave me the number to another SOS office. The second SOS person informed that that the districts had been reapportioned by the Legislature last year. It turns out the portions of North Dekalb county have been moved into GA05. This re-reapportionment was done by a court order. This has something to do with a gerrymandering lawsuit. I cannot see how shifting me into GA05 helps me to be represented better. ~ Of Course You Believe In Chrustian Service, I’ve Come Here To Speak Of Serious Things, Making Miss Hulga Joy Hopewell Nervous, The Ugliest Name Any Language Brings, You Know Other People Have Opinions Too, Sparing The Child And Spoiling The Rod, Aren’t You Just Good Country People Boo, Never Can Tell When You’ll Need The Word Of God, From “Good Country People” Flannery O’Connor ~ I asked if we can use another register you get the fu giving me a hard time here doesn’t want to leave because their card is declined because my card did not it did not say insufficient funds what did it say ma’am did my card say insufficient funds or did it say that your system’s not working no I’m serious cuz this isn’t cool is it okay if I check out anyway his is not it did not say insufficient funer what did it [ __ ] say it said no checking account what does that mean it did not say insufficient funds we’re going back to your transphobia ~ great fallacy: the wisdom of old men, they grow careful but do not grow wise, limiters of happiness always win, in bed together for a monday surprise, happiness for intelligent people, made by the dust on a butterfly’s heart, awfully easy to be a weasel, life has a tendency to fall apart ~ laudable, iconoclast, eschew, credo, recalcitrant, mandate ~ laudable mandate, eschew iconoclast rant, calcium credo ~ all my pretty chickens and their dam, turn’d your wit the seamy side, without foul-mouthed man as he is, near the cradle of the fairy queen, green in judgement cold in blood, fortune with him in a single fight, would spy out such a quarrel, hoist with his own petard ~ @RedeemedRags I don’t know who needs to hear this: You’re a good gardener. The plant should’ve tried harder. ~ @abgutman Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive. “No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.” … “In retrospect we found out that Hamas offered on the 9th or 10th of October to release all the civilians in their hands if the IDF won’t enter the Gaza Strip, but the government rejected the offer.” … Some people seem to not remember the tone from the government the days after October 7, which is fully in line with refusing such proposal. Here are two ministers from October as reminders: ~ morphodite gentleman winding his watch, his water works in out of order town, second verse of the tantum ergo crotch, lit the blessed sacrament and knelt down, most pious virgin’s intercessory, but for all their eyes wet with contrition, little mariner over winningly, her eyes dancing in admonition ~ @noam_dworman There’s a lot of talk about university censorship. It’s a good time to remember that the most effective and serious censorship at universities is effected quietly through hiring practices behind the scenes. If you never hear a view in the first place, does it make a sound? Steven Pinker explains… ~ Sesquipedalian can also be used to describe someone or something that overuses big words, like a philosophy professor or a chemistry textbook. If someone gives a sesquipedalian speech, people often assume it was smart, even if they don’t really know what it was about because they can’t understand the words. ~ Sesquipedalianism is a Protestant denomination that worships big words. ~ Still, for the best I nominate pentasyllabic, which means five-syllabled! Not only does it describe all other five-syllabled words, it also describes itself. Such words are called autological (another five-syllabled word). ~ @netanyahu Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו Anti-Semitism on campuses in the United States is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s. The world cannot stand idly by. ~ @izhimanrami He crossed a red traffic light The moment the accident occurred and the Zionist Ben Gvir, his daughter, his bodyguard and his driver were injured.. ~ want to live in a small apartment, just cuddle every day, but i’d miss you while i work, when we come home, we can make each other laugh, make food and make love a lot ~ this link comes in very handy. We have to listen to endless debates. Complex issues are trivialized by reduction to insulting polemic. It is just so tempting to interrupt the privilege party by shouting YOU IGNORANT SLUT. ~ strolling through the lunatic asylum, idleness at the beginning of play, study anatomic tweedle dum, we don’t know how to live for today, no character is determined by plan, one should run away from her dimensions, just a stone on the house of godly man, road to heaven paved with bad intentions ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress ~ selah

Only on Earth is there any talk of free will.” Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Five ~ “Being in Israel, for lunch the Googlers can choose from three amazing restaurants, nonkosher, kosher dairy and kosher meat, each of the restaurants designed to its own style and theme.” ~ blue woman more barbaric than a man, sir slam poet drinks epileptic booze, powerful sodomy officers ran, elegant woman wearing manly shoes, always feeling I should wash my device, tumescent explanation warmonger, try to go down and be a sacrifice, what does not kill me makes me stronger ~ As any twitter user knows, the pornbot ads are running wild. … A person said something about social justice fans, and other people with too many opinions. they can dish it out, but they can’t take it. I replied … I will say one good thing about the “nudes in bio” ladies … they can take it as well as they dish it out. ~ @noam_dworman You might have told your followers that the “8 years” he refers to is when Gaza was under Egyptian control (many won’t know that (as you know)). Further, that when Sadat made peace, Egypt refused to take Gaza back. Anyway, this empty-caloried argumentation by quote (usually out of context) really should not be convincing to a serious mind. There are quotes out there to make any point on any side. ~ this is from an interview with “a 59-year-old solicitor from Cork, Ireland, named Bill Holohan.” He posted the twitter thread that is quoted above. – Slate – While we were setting up this interview you had written in an email that while you “always strive to achieve accuracy, if it amuses people, then at the end of the day that’s as much benefit as anything else.” So the point was to amuse? BH – Oh, absolutely. I mean I put out a posting almost every single day, and usually it’s something historical. But I always try and put a little bit of a kink in it, as opposed to simply reciting historical facts, to make it interesting or something that’s worthy of comment. Now, I didn’t expect to get that kind of reaction. Slate – The exact historical accuracy isn’t as much of a focus, necessarily? BH – Well insofar as I can, or as anybody can. When the issue is history, you try to be accurate, but obviously the further back you go, the more difficult it is to get verifying sources. Now, as I say, if you want to go and measure the rocks between the tracks in Pompeii, which is probably one of the best preserved in the world, and measure them against the English railway gauge and some of the American ones, it’s coincidentally the same gauge. Is that purely coincidence? Possibly. ~ its all fun and games, i thought it was shits and giggles, some people call that shiggles, gun and fames has an american sound to it, when i first saw chat tonight, it said who can see your messages, but that fits too…shits giggles fun gun fame games, they are all welcome to see my messages, even if i stop after four letters, and say they can see my mess, today is the first day in a couple of weeks that i did not the the end was near, the iran israel kabuki is through with the first act, this performance art war is getting getting awfully old, even if it is profitable to the military industrial complex, there is very little fun, games or giggles in the levant now, but a whole lot of shits and there is no end in sight, except to the people in gaza, many of whom are at the end of thier life, the initials tonight are iafag, yes, i am a fag, with a healthy dose of shits and giggles, its not all glamor, even if it is fun and games ~ pictures for this tax day 2024  are from The Library of Congress ~ selah

I want to give my account of why I found TFC and their fans’ posture ridiculous ~ There were two fires in Atlanta. The one Scarlet fled was in September. CSA was abandoning the city, and burned anything of value. The second fire was in November. Sherman was leaving, and burned the rest. ~ I wasn’t sure what a tapestry was, other than an album by Carole King. I thought it was something like a quilt, but it turns out to a a woven work. All the threads in in are on the same surface, rather than a quilt, where different pieces of cloth are sewn together. I googled tapestry, and one of the results was the tapestry hoodie. “Capture timeless artistry with our custom tapestry hoodie. Crafted from high-quality weft-faced weaving, this hoodie is the perfect way to showcase your unique designs. There is a one-time setup fee of $49 and a 4-6 week turnaround time for production, but the intricate detail and authentic look won’t disappoint. Wear art you can be proud of.” I have always thought of a hoodie as a practical garment. It is a layer in cold weather, that works well with a scarf tied around the neck. It is going to be hidden under a jacket, and is going to get dirty. A tapestry hoodie, otoh, is supposed to be seen and clean. While it was be a statement garment, I don’t think this is going to be worth the time and money involved in getting it. Tapestry also comes with a charter school option, and a hospice. I can see this metaphor used to describe a school, instead of a literal fabric to craft a hoodie out of. I did not check out the tapestry hospice option, and i don’t think i will have time. ~ Happy Birthday Anita Bryant, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Flannery O’Connor ~ “a mineral K2Ca2Cu(SO4)4.2H2O consisting of a hydrous sulfate of copper, calcium, and potassium” ~ this is the first monday morning reader to appear after Charley Brown went to the makeup mirror in the sky. On the chamblee54 text template, there is a line of text. It is the same length of a line of text on the page, and is helpful for compiling the MMR: A young RuPaul and Charlie Brown star in Al Clayton’s 1980s photography show, “Drag Queens ~ this is a story about google, a podcast, and religion. Sheldon Dick took the photograph in 1938. “Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. Beer party in Joe Gladski’s cellar. Mr. Gladski is in the right foreground.” ~ @EliLake When Israel vanquishes the Hamas terror army in Gaza, the IDF should get the Nobel peace prize. There, I said it. ~ “Racism” is a popular term, for an unpopular custom. People have been hating on people who don’t look like them as long as there have been people. The R-word appears to have been first used in 2002, at the Lake Mohonk Conference of Friends of the American Indian. ~ @tejucole “George Carlin’s original seven dirty words can all be said freely now. The one word you can’t say, and must never print, is “racist.” ~ This is a repost from 2016. ~ This is a repost from 2022. I got a TV this year, so watching the Super Bowl was not a problem … except when the niners scored a touchdown, and I said “go motherfucker” without muting my microphone. … ~ Two years ago, I wrote an extended book report on a Hank Chinaski book. It has a little bit about Hank, and whatever popped/pooped into my mind. … The only Neil that’s uglier than Neil Young is Neal Boortz. I would hate to be the judge of that beauty contest. … this robo secretary rant is being edited on the day after Russia invaded Ukraine. It is amazing how last week’s concerns are now obsolete. ~ Good Friday Morning. Jesus knew it was going to be a big day, and he made sure he looked his best. ~ r/religiousfruitcake posted a tweet by Donnie advertising his MAGA bible, on sale for $59.99. I commented “$59.99 upside down is $66.62.” The seminal post was removed by mods. ~ @barrypopik “The U.S. should add three more states. Because 53 is a prime number. Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible” ~ There are two six letter racial slurs. One starts with R, one ends with R. One I am forbidden to say, one I am forbidden to not say. The one I must say is RACIST. ~ This is a repost from 2017. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress ~ selah

Do you still want to view it? ~ This is a repost from 2018. Between October 8, 2017, and April 30, 2018, I documented officer related killings in the United States.

Between October 8, 2017, and April 30, 2018, I documented officer related killings in the United States. There were 645 incidents in this time. The report reposted today looks at 35. For all the furor over publicized cases, very few people are interested in the details of most killings ~ @jonkay thinks that an event, “Hunger as a weapon of war: The starvation of Gaza,” is “solidarity’ with hamas” ~ the state of Georgia executed Willie James Pye Wednesday night. Mr. Pye was convicted of the 1993 murder of his former girlfriend Alicia Lynn Yarbrough. It was the first execution in Georgia since 2020. ~ I am listening to this, between the technical glitches. It is making me think, which I do not always appreciate. I am working on a project while I listen. I am into a boring, easily distracted phase of this, where the struggle is to stay focused on the task at hand. 1/x This is a metaphor for what you are talking about. People have a lot of necessary drudgery in their lives. Many other people feel that they gain power by distracting them, cynically knowing that there is nothing that the string pullers can do to solve the puppets problems 2/x ~ So I was corresponding with a man from doublelist. we played message tag, and i gave him my number. he sent a text, which i replied to. a few days later, he says he never got my text. i sent one, as a reply to the one he sent me, and he says he never got it. so he asks what i am doing today. then he says to come over in a little while. I get cleaned up, and ready to leave. he sends a message saying this is taking too long, and he doesn’t have much time . this is where the dialog ends ~ A writer went to a mobile home in Hudson FL. He talked to Marie Rudisill, who was best known as Truman Capote’s “Aunt Tiny.” Ms. Rudisill became famous as The Fruitcake Lady, before going to the bakery in the sky November 3, 2006. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress “Grinding coffee.

I chose the wrong poem. The last lines were ‘kissing rug hairs like cunt hairs, close as I’ve been in a long time.’ It didn’t go over real well ~ 兔兒神 @chenchenwrites words i would like to use in a poem: teapot, sorcery, flub, dessert, aurora, mugwort, cucumber, loom, flautist ~ according to “the rachel maddow show” on facebook, Ms. Maddow is totally silent about Gaza … a historic tragedy happening in full view of the “civilized” world ~ its raining blank, Arthur is not doing well with the football, the falcons could lost against a high school, so homo depot is taking another call, and its raining blank and thats not cool, kroger had a veggie melody on sale, tired of junk food and decided to steam, if its raining blank then arthurs pale, they want me to take one for the team, no taste cauliflower is the worst, at least the carrots have crunch, the falcon faithful have cursed and cursed, raining blank is going to suck a bunch, soon this disposable prompt will be read, arthur will be back in the gutter, luther mckinnon is manley pointer in bed, falcons will continue to stutte ~ this is your monday morning reader for this week. Russell Lee took the photograph in May 1942. “Untitled photo, possibly related to: Boys at carnival attraction. Imperial County Fair, California” ~ I had an email quarrel with a local church about this once. When I am driving, my peace of mind is under attack. Crazy drivers, bad weather, the struggles at the end of my drive, every problems of daily life. I simply do not need to process someone else’s ideas about God ~ this is today’s disposal content. John Collier took picture#8d23666 in November, 1942. “Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (vicinity). Montour no. 4 mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Coal miner at end of the day’s work” ~ @martyrmade Big news, likely signaling a major policy shift. Nuland has run point on our Russia-Europe policy ever since we helped engineer the Maidan coup d’etat. The results, after 10 years are in: -Ukraine is destroyed, and has permanently lost Crimea and its main industrial region -Europe is deindustrializing -Russia is permanently alienated, and tighter than ever with China, India, and Iran -much of the world refused to isolate Russia, and suffered no consequences -institutions central to U.S. dollar hegemony no longer viewed as neutral -NordStream broke the seal on sabotaging international infrastructure -Russian military capabilities significantly increased, not decreased -countries like Iran, North Korea, etc have seen that, short of total war, NATO conventional capabilities are quite limited. Still, Nuland is one of those undead creatures in Washington, who has only ever failed upward, so her resignation probably indicates her usefulness has finally run out. ~ I got rid of my land line. Every day, I got a call from an Asian phone room. Some lady, who did not know how to pronounce Luther, would ask if I wanted to sell my house. ~ This meme turned up on facebook: you can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic Robert Heinlein – Wikiquotes says “Do you seriously expect to start a rebellion with picayune stuff like that?” “It’s not picayune stuff, because it acts directly on their emotions, below the logical level. You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic. It doesn’t have to be a prejudice about an important matter either. If This Goes On— (p. 426) Robert Heinlein – A version of this quote is on page 130. Part one of the story is here. ~ someone with good intentions made a video about Charles Bukowski’s attitudes towards women. The word problematic was used. At one point, the gentleman said that Bukowski was the “Walt Whitman of neat whiskey.” ~ today’s feature presentation is a rerun from 2022. It is based on an Oblique Strategies card, “Only a part, not the whole.” Sometimes, when you create something, you have to make decisions. ~  First, thank you for doing the work to make this HS happen. I am a frequent flyer at a zoom poetry reading on sunday night. Here is the link for tonight. If you have the time, you might stop by to see how this one works. I am Manley Pointer, which I may use Monday night. A few random thoughts. If you have already figured all this out, my apologies. – The talisman is an essential part of a HS. If you look on the zoom platform, there is an option to “raise hand” I believe it is in “captions.” We might use a raised hand as the talisman. – Theresa, the host of Java Speaks, makes a list of people as they come into the room. When she calls on someone to perform, she checks the name off the list. The “hollywood squares” you see on the screen changes, and cannot be relied upon. If you are going to have speaking in order, you might want to make a list. As for checking it twice, and finding out who is naughty or nice … – I present graphic poems on sunday night. There is the ability to share the screen, and have the user present material. I am not sure how this works for the host, or whether we will want to do this. This is going to be a learning experience. – Zoom is an imperfect system, and occaisonally acts weird. Just like the faeries. – I am part of several faerie facebook entities … Atlanta RF, MX mountain planning, RF elders, RF. … If you would like me to post the facebook announcement to any of those that you do not belong to, please let me know.

the contradiction of wind there are multiple meanings here… win, wind … but one thing that people don’t think of is wind, as in wind a watch. that is a different pronunciation, and meaning, than wind as is blowing out of the south. there is a connection between wind and wind, other than using the same four letters, with different sounds. I think a homophone is a words pronounced the same, with different spellings and meaning. What is are two words, with same spelling, but different meaning and pronunciation? merriam webster says these are homographs, but the tab crashed before i could get any more information. it must be important. Other homographs are bass, which is either a fish or a low note guitar. Minute, tear, bow, close are other examples. the website has a list of 20, but the other fifteen were single pronunciation homographs. the prompt said something about contradiction of wind, as in something that blows. i was having so much fun exploring homographic reality, both single and dual pronunciations, that i forgot about contradictions. besides, homographs are positive, and contradictions are negative, and we have too much negativity already without ~ @nihilist_arbys Make no mistake, no one cares about you and when you’re down in a ditch covered in six varietals of diseased piss and need friends the most, that’s when they’ll prove your ultimate truth: the world is dark and you are alone and you’ll die as you lived: alone and scared Eat arbys ~ this is your monday morning reader for today.

I guess the people paying her want us to be distracted by the war crimes that we are complicit in ~ I decided to try my hand at slam poetry. I chose a sonnet about mental health. It turned out not to be a good fit ~ I always refer to the conflict as the war between the states. The concept of a all powerful federal government, with the states as quasi-autonomous governing districts, did not fully take effect until after the North conquered the South. ~ fabcricated: generatedness If something has been generated and not simply fabcricated it is a sign, that it has been made by a living process of countless conscious differentiations unfolding in due time to avoid “egregious mistakes of adaption” (Ch. Alexander NoO II: 198). Creating a generated structure is slightly different from evolutionary adaption. “[T]he effect to grow in time, and to grow gradually, to unfold gradually, is that most of the possible mistakes in it are eliminated…” (ibid.187) ~ this was on twitter 8 hours ago. Youtube sent me to Richie West’s coming out video, I saw some of his other clothes-on videos, I found out he did porn, googled him, and found out about BSB videos. I have been going down the rabbit hole of free online porn dependency ever since. ~ this quote does not appear on TR’s wikiquotes page, and may be dubious … TR was the first Media president, using the press to his advantage. One wonders how accurate the image of TR was. This quote may be part of that embellished image ~ @loffredojeremy Today at the Nitzana border crossing Israeli citizens are bringing their machine guns and small children to block all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. The military is having fun. The kids are cooking cotton candy. ~ This headline illustrates a logical fallacy. You make a dubious statement. Without considering how valid the statement is, you go directly to asking “why” ~ dog cat rat Christian relationship waste money you don’t want to hear ~ municipal court cle conference ~ sick devil culture feminine because young men God so desperate ~ “I’m going to hang a right.” Manny abruptly switched lanes and cut right at the signal. “Watch out for squad cars.” “Right.” Manny could really tool that thing. If he could bet horses like he drove, Manny was a winner. “You married, Manny?” “No way.” “Women?” “Sometimes. But it never lasts.” “What’s the problem?” “A woman is a full-time job. You have to choose your profession.” “I suppose there is an emotional drain.” “Physical too. They want to fuck night and day.” “Get one you like to fuck.” “Yes, but if you drink or gamble they think it’s a put-down of their love.” “Get one who likes to drink, gamble and fuck.” “Who wants a woman like that?” Charles Bukowski Factotum ~ Hollywood Part Three is a book report.

Shameless manipulation of US media. Baldfaced lies in hasbara. IDF soldiers bragging about atrocities on social media. Dance parties blocking trucks bringing food to starving people. The new antisemitism is self inflicted. ~ This is a repost from 2019. Facebook now has three dots next to the offender’s name. You can left click there, and choose to “snooze” or “unfollow” the person who upset you. … ~ the odious custom of unfriending/blocking continues to plague facebook. Someone says something that upsets your fee-fees. Are you required to punish them, by kicking them out of your digital life? Snooze is a much better option. ~ factotum is a book by Charles Bukowski, about the antics of Henry Chinaski, who closely resembles Herr Bukowski. There is also a movie, with the same name. I had always thought the pronunciation was China Ski. It turns out to be Chuck Nasty. Somehow, that works. ~ “such self-declared heterodox thinkers have latched onto the conspiracies about Floyd’s death that true skeptics should have seen through with even the slightest bit of research” ditto “Screams without words” ~ @shane_bauer When I was in the West Bank settlers attacked olive pickers, saying they were Hamas agents. IDF soldiers used the same pretext to stop the harvest. One soldier told me picking olives was a “political act.” A thread on things I saw while reporting for The New Yorker: ~ Lord, thank you for letting us be here today. … I once gave the opening prayer at a Christian after dinner group. They were expecting me to give God a good talking to. I chose to say what was on my mind, in as few words as possible. ~ the death of George Floyd is a controversy that will not go away.
