Take notes. I am a radical. Not a democrat. Not a republican. There are no independents. They employ the same political and cultural infrastructure -- how things work -- that the rest of us are compelled to use. Climate: Not a word. It's the Trump go to for climate change, a hoax. Americans are in denial. Why. Not a word about that. Save the American Dream. The American Dream is flat-out vanished. Is America is a corpse because it has a fetish for illusion. The American people still believe in the goodness of Gotham. Hollywood's Gotham is urban decay on steroids. Not one word about how Hollywood's cultural prostitution, carved from graves for advanced rot. Criminals rise to power. The word criminal is not to be found. There are metaphors for the word rapist. There are metaphors for the word crook. There are metaphors for the word deviant. You will not find the word deviant here because the republican (small d) party cannot bring itself to believe it's leader (ownership culture) is aberrational. Even the bad word sex is an economic negotiation. Or it's rape. You get to pick one. Not both. They take a deviant, and they normalize him as a leader who struggled. Another idea they avoid is based on the word individual. Individual is Americana. This is about the rise of Trump. And what did I learn. The word nothing has a metaphor, too. Vacuum. They are telling us America loves Trump. Genuflect. Now, the truth. Scratching heads. Suddenly, perplexed. More questions. No answers.

Nasdijj part 4 In “Nasdijj Shops Tell-All,” Fleischer noted these developments. He quoted an e-mail from Nasdijj to an editor at Penguin Books, in which the author offered a novel called Year of the Hyena: The Story of Nasdijj. The article presented excerpts from Nasdijj’s blog with the headline, “Deserving Death for Evil Deeds, by Tim Barrus.” It quoted, “What you want to believe you want to believe. If I am the devil incarnate then I am the devil incarnate.” Subsequently, the host TypePad deleted Nasdijj’s blog. The revelations created a huge literary scandal. Sherman Alexie, commented publicly on the controversy. In an article published in the February 6, 2006 issue of Time magazine, Alexie wrote, “So why should we be concerned about his lies? His lies matter because he has cynically co-opted as a literary style the very real suffering endured by generations of very real Indians because of very real injustices caused by very real American aggression that destroyed very real tribes.” The author and critic David Treuer (Ojibwe) described Barrus’ actions as “harmful cultural fraud.” The activist Suzan Shown Harjo (Muscogee Creek and Cheyenne) questioned why the publishing world was taken in by Native American impostors. She said, “There should be a law for the Navajo Nation to sue Barrus for the profits he made while committing the crime of stealing tribal identity.” #destroytheday (Throwback post from May 24th, 2016) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-nWjShWRV/?igshid=1ozlzzlqxq83n

74...calendário do spin, no Blogger.....

Embora este calendário tenha sido reproduzido no blogger, os links do blogs englobam novo conteúdo, ou seja, se referem a novas páginas

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ouijv-HUq6F9FZ5ASztJsVA72OLsYs3-0eWqjVVTDMQ/edit?usp=sharing

Tipos de spin....como se vê, não mais no Tumblr e sim .no Blogger/Blogspot...e, como já foi dito, não são páginas novas, de conteúdos diferentes apesar de terem o mesmo título

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2o3P4UtECWk0oDUR_imgPCGegeIOf_hGQxXFSIbDPU/edit?usp=sharing

A contagem daqui prá frente ficou complicado de ser contabilizada, de forma que optei por não mais contar, terminando a contagem nos 500 links

Um esclarecimento:

......há páginas cujos títulos já existiam no Blogger mas que foram repetidas no Tumbl....sendo que é bom que fique claro que, apesar da temática ser a mesma, não se trata de conteúdo repetido, se tratando portanto de novo link,,,,tal medida foi tomada porque, volta e meia, os links do spin costuma sofrer ataques virtuais, o que resulta em remoção destruição da sua obra...

Como disse pode estar repetidos, pode ser que não...na dúvida, não os inclui na contagem

Se nos apresentou esta página trazendo uma foto do spin representando sua mãe, foto de 1983...pode ser que os links já constem de alguma lista...

Maga wants blood. It is hard for the libs to get it. Because they are so privileged, they can’t even see the endemic poverty people live in. “But we don’t believe in violence. We’re perfect. And we have stuff.

We already know that.  

[timbarrus]

Take notes. This article is frenetic. That is not a criticism. Publishing is frenetic. The Leapfrogging Around Effect, from this and that, trading office space, is reflecting a publishing story where publishing insiders hop and skip around publication to publication. Job to job. Money is important, but it's rude so we (both journalists and readers) don't mention it. The 19th Century is alive and well. Editors who become agents. Agents who become editors. English majors from Brown who become publishers as soon as Daddy buys the building. Sex and the City is over. The ladies who lunch are dead. Publishing has gone to ugly dogs. I loathe sending my work to New York. I am much more inclined to go with a smaller publisher. One who might have accidentally read the book. That is heresy. The Beast was not a gentleman, and I am not a gentleman, either. The edge is gone. A pop culture burp. Take something new and render it as a sarcasm. After reading the Beast, I would try to throw my laptop across the room. The Beast was hip. Busy. Mean. Mean. Mean. But mean wears your teeth down when you try to chew. The Beast became like all the other beasts. And that is not sarcasm. The industry is one big flat screen. A FAX machine spits out your writer's tour schedule of events. It is not a dialogue. I do not tend to be kindly to a machine that orders me around and takes me to places that are inappropriate. The Beast is not a player. Coles and Sherwood are Plan B. So is the Daily Beast.

[timbarrus]

Take notes. The despair is real. The hate is real. And the revenge that drives the beast is real as well. We don't talk about jealousy too much. This is a Culture World War. You will be told that it's more complex than that, and it is. But not to the threatened species that is homo sapiens. They recognize complexity, and they emerge rattled. Knowing how things work, is work. Politics is television. They are one and the same. Throw in some dancing, an orchestra, and french fries. It's Your Dog And Pony Show. I want to know why Americans talk the talk, but there is no way we are going to walk that walk. What are the institutionalists going to do. When the Politik twists toward blue. Who do you think the Gestapo is looking for.

They are looking for you. Here's how it works. Elon gives Trump the names and the data. Anyone critical gets a visit in the middle of the bad spy night. If you think that the lower class (I am lower class) wants to punish the class that has always had their boot pressed up against our throats, that is because they always have their boot shoved up against out throats, and this is their punishment. It's a little bit about a lot of things. Cross cultural warzones. It's still punishment. What else do they have. American indifference and American compliance. Trump knows where you live. DOJ gets the order, and ICE gets a green light. Your children get a barracks and tin foil. You know where you are marching to. And you never said a word.

Like no. — Tim Barrus

blood rogues in let's away

Great travelers. The great travelers on the happy planet do not include themselves as victims in all the looking back at where they have been. I'm autistic, and really cannot make sense out of how political parties came to be regarded as the tails that wag the dragon. I'm so happy, I could skip stones. How happy are you. I'm so happy that there is no more hunger. I'm so happy, I have become employed. As a happy writer of comments. Happiness is downright giddy. Vodka or a smile. Choose. We have the happy catholic warrior writer slot. We have the writer who appears to listen. The Irish Temperament is temperament itself. Happy economics is Whose Gig Is This. Both Political Banks will smile at you like a straw in sarsaparilla. I park my money in the Republican Bank of Flim Flam. If you give them actual money, they will in time give you back the dime they turn on. The Dems get a Turn of the Screw, too. A Large Left Hook. Woke is another rant. Whatcha got. If I can see it coming, why can't they. Religion as an institution spins like an electron high on hate. It's open to debate. Are we gay. Or are we straight. I'm with ANTIFA. I want to live in a culture where you just show up. Happiness is Never Show Up, Never Explain. Jump up and down. Catholicism is about the secrets. What do bubble tribes do when someone starts heading toward the bubble of dissent. Cultural Rhetoric Says: Executions are fun. He has lists. Tik Tok Clock Happiness is overrated. Unless you're rich. Oh, happy day.

[timbarrus]

Wearing a masque all day is one thing. I’m usually on a remote mountain somewhere that has never seen a human being, when I actually take the masque off. Wearing the masque is a resistance I have to the Normals. The stories I tell have to do with resistance, too. Why. Because those are the books I want to read. I want to understand my own resistance. I think I might have been put away by now. Or killed in the middle of one blunder or another. We don’t have enough of them who are saying that we only rarely seem able to articulate The How of such resistance is, itself, an analogy to a more dystopian entanglement with what the nature of authority might be as opposed to what authority already is. Comedians are some of our greatest scholars. You begin your life at the point we cut the tip of your cock off. It sends a message that stays with this homo sapiens. Authority will define who he is  — they cannot be allowed to name themselves when to name yourself is traitorous to the development of any tribal cultural structure in the universe. So we construct definitional identities before they push one down our throats. As someone who is autistic, I am here to tell you that resistance does slow them down some. And while that is happening (it happens every day in my life), the autistic part of me, my second self, is compelled to leave the mask behind. I will define myself. The minute I allow a moron to define me, informs me that he, it’s usually a he he, shoves me down a path I share with Godot. I will never arrive because physics as defined by Estragon paints the lot of us up against the tenth dimension. You can’t mix culture up with physics because physics deals with unstable variables. Culture is physics. And physics has a culture who kinda see themselves as the wise old men with pipes and tweed. Which can only exist on strict terminology because it cannot be contained. Or hardly measured. The thing itself fades like a blip, but a super, super fast blip from which an entire universe forms around. The breaking into our reality and then the field disintegrates so quickly, it is at times suggestive that the theatre of Infants Terrible, remains convinced we cannot go down that rabbit hole even at our own risk. Physics claims there are too many timelines. The past is not accessible. The going forward is already upon you. Science fiction is to varying extents, a rabbit hole of its own, not at all like YouTube, but reality intrudes when pop culture pops so fast, you never even saw the flash. My stories are about that flash. To try and slow it down as we ask it who and what what is it. Is it self-aware. We are all self-aware. All. All. All. The flash, usually red-shifted, blinks like a magnetar being hurdled by a child from another sun.  

[timbarrus]

Now, he's god. Those of us who lead kinda mundane lives can read this stuff about one old man -- I call him IT to dehumanize him and to rob him of his humanity which will be a challenge because he has no humanity -- and how he lives his execrable existence, caught within a labyrinthine catalogue of hatreds, and shrug. I guess he doesn't mean what he says. Seriously. Every word has a bitter twist. Every single writer or journalist who has ever been critical of the IT, might want to think about Plan B. Where you gonna move. You might want to think about somewhere that allows you to see them coming. Think Idaho. The IT releases his middle-earth minions. The last time we went through Royal Decree, George III, my precious, was still around, and guess what. He taxed. He sent troops. He hanged a lot of people. He burned books, elderly women. He controlled printers, publishing. He was the Church. He waged wars everywhere. He drank tea. He went mad. The word bully has no gravitas. ORC has gravitas. ORC commands us from his ORC mountaintop. We obey. Ho hum. He announces he's god and we keep our heads down and agree. Anti-ORK Journalists who continue to publish thought that insinuates IT might not be as Supreme as he says he is. Will face his fury. Why are all these people winking. God always goes to prison. Forms a story arch. Just before the beginning of his thermonuclear reign. A crown of bloody thorns. How dare they say bad things about the banality of god. They must be punished.

[timbarrus]

It’s pretty radical for NYT critic to take the stance that game changers are sorely lacking. I do agree with this.

[timbarrus]

The protagonist in Dirt Bike Town is an Albinoboy. He has no color to hate. It was the end of times. Albinos were the slaves. The Normals have enslaved them. We are back to all the paradigms of the City-state. After the Dope Wars, the only thing we haven’t killed is love.

[timbarrus]

Take notes. What I see is a media that is conveniently ignoring one big thing. The American people did this. They want this. They are this. The talking heads were wrong. Optimism is another lie. Hope is not available. It never has been. The Lower Middle Class gets its name from Let's Give Them The Bone Of Hope. We are the poor. It was not about the color of her suits. It was not about abortion, it was not about electing a rapist, it was not about Afghanistan. It was not a gender war. It was not about American universities or inflation. It was not about the mythic individual or exceptionalism. It was not about crime or convictions. It was not about foreign policy. It was not about drinking bleach. It was not about kids in cages. No one mentions the dynamics of revenge. It was about revenge. If my poor neighbors here in the Appalachian mountains can get it, what is wrong with the white cultural grand poobahs who cannot bring themselves to articulate that they know very little about how the lower class lives. Hurricane Helene wiped us out. It's been roughly a month, but I haven't seen a single person from any kind of authority whatsoever. Guess who got their electric back on first. We had to watch as their rich lights flicked on. We did everything ourselves. We removed the dead trees so an ambulance could get through. We were the ones who found our own water. We were left behind again. The elite can barely look at us. It was about revenge. In 2228, it will be about revenge. -- Tim Barrus

we did not know at the time/ there were hyenas in the woods/ because that had been what we had been/ told/ and told/ like it was a cultural witchery/ we know we are a moral burden, we had said there are hyenas in the trees/ that time we lived under that oath of office, the one we had pledged to, that quicksand/ and we kiss the moral burden of the bible for the bible was written with jesus juice/ the hyenas were all on boats, they like cats, and there were fights/ they walked the family to ralphs, and the hyenas just took what they wanted and they wanted everything/ what must it be like to want everything/ it is terrifying but vibe with those blues and the rain that time in the sawgrass/ where calculations required a consensus and just try getting that one past spit in the creek trick of war/ grammar is unfit to be grammar/ we had never been shewed about anything, anytime, any place, any photoshoot and I am taking you away to something that is raw and real/ they never anticipated the entropy of all our bones/ our molecules, we become like mist/ like biography/ a sovereign state in the state of no concessions to the sawgrass we lived in/ — Tim Barrus

[timbarrus]

Every piece the New York Times publishes, that is about children, childrens’ rights, the exploitation of children, child trafficking, is done by a writer who at the very least, sounds like a very nervous amateur. It is hardly safe for me to say the Mommy America Suburban Stuff (consumer culture) has had everyone else pussy whipped. Property is everything you need to begin to compete with every other mommie on the block. Our garage only fits two cars and one truck and eight off the road vehicles, and a dirt Bike. We were going to have a pool but then we had a pool. Childhood is relative. It is also a fetish painted nice for another mommy’s smile. I know that look. After all, we live in the same neighborhood.

Childhood becomes a paradigm and there are rules. Your son will be targeted for a concussive event. It’s called piling on. Get the fuck back in that game. That’s childhood. Are they really going to be ballerinas. Some wear diapers. It shows. The New York Times doesn’t know Jack Shit about kids. All of us do not live on Long Island, and some of us, and the children of us, not that unlike the Children of the Vatican you tourists completely ignore which seems to be your answer to everything. Their arrival in America is not their fault. They have landed in a country where everyone hates them. They are more at risk for everything from everyone. There are still children in institutions who were, indeed, ripped from the family’s arms. Those arms cannot be replaced. What we have done with those children is criminal. The middle class guards who physically grabbed those kids – we were just doing our jobs – would not refuse to turn the shower poison on. They would have relished it. Just doing their jobs. Fuck your jobs. And fuck you. These kids will be aging out. Sooner than you think. And then what. How about those prisons still at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center and Torture Chambers. Blaring music. Everyone here needs a shower.

Why did you do it and who do you know.

Who believes those kids are receiving a great education. We are making felons. We do it every day. They will be interrogated, you never know who the communists are. Order in the house. Order in the House. Mr. Chairman, I move that these communist children go take a long shower. It smells bad in here. The South shall raise again. Mr. Chairman, I hold that these charges cannot be real. I did teacher training for Head Start in my abandoned youth. Hundreds of them. All women. Every last one. Suddenly, I go off like a bomb because I am the worst brat in the class and everyone knows it. Horrified and staring. This is not how teacher trainers act. “Give me a name. What is the name of this child. He is in every class. You know him. You hate him. What a verbal and physical mess. No parenting.” This is where the suggestions begin. He’s going to prison. It has been decided. Everyone white nods. I want their names. Raise your hands. They all had names. One girl. She had a name, too. The entire family works the midnight shift at the slaughterhouse. The twelve-year-old pushed blood down a drain. Failing in school. He was crazy. No. We are failing him. I want to know why the mommies don’t deal with this. Deal with this. – Tim Barrus
