So called oblong shapes that travel skies, aren’t what we realize ,
are shaped toward our leaning eyes, alone,
hovered, touching the Sky, We float into the blinding Sun,
that we can never return from,
Horizons glimmer in a distance field,
in shapes not pondered,
til Grey and gloom, my witness there,
my gaze, and not my Wonder
I have walked Dark and parched lands,
and gazed into the depths of Man,
and see only Myself within,
and who again is without sin,
To see ones self, out of time,
and walk the darkest paths,
to trade your Soul, for a bit more time?
or cast it all away?
If you have seen the Black,
the Abyss is a friendly place,
it beckons, familiar, safe and Cold,
the inky darkness, unseen, unfolds,
Ahem,
We all have our troubles,
yours and mine,
But thats not the problem,,
it’s how our problems are defined
We see the truth, but won’t admit it,
stuffed in to Deaths closet, we are all closed,
so live life as a Coat hanger, or live in your own clothes, What?
I live in a carpet, of lines and phrases,
and do my best to get into other peoples spaces,
How I long to be away from this place,
as a Cylon ship, traveling through space,
My mind is here, then it’s gone,
into deep space, where I belong,
Second
You’re now third for being first and trying to claim second.
The rules is the rules.
But that ain’t one of the rules.

UFO video? Pentagon releases footage of ‘unidentified aerial phenomena,’ but says it’s not out of the ordinary’
Musings traced in couplets fusing,
Spaced thought that would not be faced
Wrought finely in fabric caught
Divinely hung as stars supinely
Sung flows in inaudible tongue
Grows insane as foresight throws
Explain shows flung blindly naught terraced cruising
Exactly…….
Evening skies are bright
With resplendent Venus high
Spring twilight has arrived.
Remember haiku days at TOS?
” I have walked Dark and parched lands,

Good line Yusef.
I felt something when I wrote it, i usually write on paper, then the computer, old school, but it helps gather my rambling thoughts..
Thanks!
That was my fave. Good stuff.

Everyone likes their own bouquet.
Exits to freeways twisted like knots on the fingers
Jewels cleaving skin between breasts
Your Cadillac breathes four hundred horses over blue lines
You are going to Reseda to make love to a model from Ohio
Whose real name you don’t know
You spin like the Cadillac was overturning down a cliff on television
And the radio is on and the radioman is speaking
And the radioman says “Women were a curse.”
So men built Paramount Studios
And men built Columbia Studios
And men built…Los Angeles
HEY YUFUS!
There’s trouble on the street tonight
I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition that
He should not go alone
I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn’t think he’d kill
Everything exploded
And the blood began to spill
So, baby
Here’s your ticket
Put the suitcase in your hand
Here’s a little money now
Do it just the way we planned
You be cool for twenty hours
And I’ll pay you twenty grand
I’m sorry it went down like this
Someone had to lose
It’s the nature of the business
It’s the smuggler’s blues
Smuggler’s blues
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You can’t remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisms
And she was beside me
Old, she’s no young
Her dark white hair
The white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look! She is coming in here
I can’t live through each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down the cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain
Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called ‘Go Insane’
You should try this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we’ll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I’m right here, I’m going too
Release control, we’re breaking through, yeah
Way back deep into the brain
Way back past the realm of pain
Back where there’s never any rain
And in the labyrinth of streams beneath
The quiet unearthly presence of gentle hill people
In the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding, fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug with semen
Eyes in their nipples
Wait!
There’s been a slaughter here
Don’t stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
You’re getting out of town
You’re going on the run
And you’re the one I want to come
Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but run, run, run
Let’s run, let’s run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze
C’mon baby run with me
Let’s run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let’s run
Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but run, run, run
Let’s run, let’s run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze
C’mon baby run with me
Let’s run
Dead president’s corpse in the driver’s car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, we’re not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
You won’t know a thing till you get inside, yeah
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let’s run
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister’s daughter’s in love with a snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We’re almost home, yeah come on
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside by evening
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down the rivers and highways
We came down from forest and falls
We came down from Carson and Springfield
We came down from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you the names of the kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
I am the Lizard King
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready

I was also reminded of AG by Y’s post.
AC’s charm was that he WASN’T coherent unless you dismantled him word by word. That took a while.

I didn’t expect any commas, either.

St. Louis health officials warn reopening economy too quickly could lead to surge of coronavirus cases
If you do anything “too quickly”, I bet you have some problems. Also, what happens if you do it “too slowly”?
“Also, what happens if you do it “too slowly”?”
You completely destroy the economy and get rid of badorangeman? What’s not to like!
See? Gotta love how easy it is to smuggle premises with the word “too”.
Always with the caveats, “could lead” How big is a surge? Maybe if we stand 7 feet apart we could cut the epidemic by 14%. Its just crazy enough to work.
Our names shouted in a certain dawn… a message … a summons… there must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said-no. But somehow we missed it.
And then Jesus returned….. looked around, and said, Fuck it, they aren’t ready…

I remember, a tough time, glad I did recon at the time, I bailed out back to 23c,
I’m being force fed culture, I realize I need it but didn’t know it was so obvious. Something something always the last to know…
Sir, I’ll have you know I am merely whisper of the great God Agile,and have no references to culture, it will not be tolerated!
I have often been the last one to find out about things I have done.
I hate it when that happens.

Tucker going off on liquor stores AGAIN. GFY.
Why?
He doesn’t think they’re “essential”. Also he’s a teetotaler so that might be why he has a stick up his ass about it.
I’ve seen conservative mocking the Michigan governor for designating weed as an essential business. Way to steer into liberty, Conservatives.
this
This is the problem I have with conservatives. They’re freedom lovers, except for freedoms they don’t care for. They’re not all that way, but many are. I konw too many of them that drink like fish out of water, but have no problem with throwing people in a rape cage for smoking a plant.
Well, liquor isn’t essential and we should enforce bad laws stringently so that it pisses off the most people and thus brings about change faster.
Why do you even give the prick ad money through watching him?
His take on the ‘vid is mostly reasonable. ?♂️
Also, I’m bored out of my fucking mind.
I don’t think he is really going off on the stores, he is going off on the people that decided they are essential while other businesses are not. It is pretty outrageous that any businesses have been required to close up shop
When he keeps targeting liquor stores specifically, it says to me something else is going on in his head.
He is highlighting the contrast between what is considered essential and what is not. There does seem to be a bit of a snark there when he mentions them and the wy he goes about it does seemingly imply they should have been closed but I don’t think they are the real target of his criticism.
You cut off people’s alcohol and you will have riots on your hands in less than a week. They know this. They’re choosing carefully what they think they can get away with. Lock people up in their houses with no booze and they’re going to sit around with rage building like a volcano about to blow and nothing to distract them.
I encourage some brave wokester governor to be the first to try it. That Karen Jong-un in MI should do it.
Alcohol and nicotine, you close down access to either of those and this country will burn.
^This^
Cut off alcohol, work, travel, eating out….there will be riots.
PA did initially ban liquor but I think they relented after a few weeks.
But you could still get beer and wine. Also, people were driving over the state line into MD, WV, and NJ.
Hm, maybe that’s why – of all things – Vodka was cheap and plentiful in the USSR…
First day back to work today
Should be a day of joy for all on the crew
All should have said hooray
But grumbling from more than a few
All it it taught me was what I forgot
During the month off being a slob

I remember now I hate my job
Too many have lost them in this trying time and messings
So I aint sai’n shit and only counting my blessings
So say We all…

It’s a response to me asking “On her what?”
Not sure if I just got roasted or not.

LOL, that pic of Pelosi. That reminds me of a former client I worked for a little over 10 years ago. When I’d meet with them, some of them kept referring to ‘Old Plastic Face’. So one day I asked one of them ‘Who’s Old Plastic Face?’. And she laughed and said ‘Oh, I see you haven’t met her, you’ll know when you do’. I forgot about it and one day when I was going to the parking lot after a meeting, I walked past a lady and I just glanced at her and she sort of glanced at me at the same time, and ‘GAH!’. I immediately said to myself ‘THAT HAS TO BE OLD PLASTIC FACE!’. Seriously, that person makes Pelosi look like she’s never had a plastic surgery.
You got a tweet include from Malice on your first week on twitter? That makes you a twitter god.
All I know is, is that Rand Paul sings in the video.

I see you’ve never loved a shack.
Not helping.
I’ve got me a Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale, and it’s about to set sail!
No, just no!
I’m a “there is no bad music” kind of guy. I like all sorts of weird things.
BUT I CANNOT ABIDE THAT SONG BY THE B-52’s
I think you need to be a drunk middle-aged white woman to truly appreciate it.
Its an automatic change the station when that song comes on for me.
It’s awful and I like the B-52’s.
B-52’s are great but, yes, that particular song sucks.
I always found that song funny. I think in part because when I was a kid, my aunt had this huge Chrysler. We called it ‘the boat’. It must have been about 30 ft long and when all us kids would pile in and she would drive to the stores, it would sway back and forth like a boat in waves. I used to get car sick in that car because of that. That wasn’t funny, then.
Huh, I tried to reply with a link to a good B-52’s song and it’s… gone. Is that a thing now?
Surprisingly, Boeing’s Stratofortress is still in service.
Sleep on it, a deep, deep sleep, like dream level sleep.
I know the song. Is it something about how the music stops suddenly?
Geez, man.
Only HM would remember that one tid bit from that song.

Castro brothers spit roast?
Go to your room.
Now.
Castro brothers spit roast?
No. Mark Cuban is into kink.
Will get Cuban sandwich?
I always want a Cuban sandwich. You driving? I know a great place in Miami. Probably out of business now.
So infuriating. I have many friends and family in the hospitality and restaurant business. Lives ruined over a Boomer freakout.
It’s for the greater good HM, people are dying you know.
QFT
I have a hard time hiding my outrage to those above me who actually buy into this shit.
Best hot dogs I ever had was from a Cuban lady with a cart on a sidewalk in Miami. She put some sort of marinated onions on them. I didn’t shit my pants afterwards. I wish I had a recipe.
Very Thompson-esque. Also, considering that I don’t really drink, you’d be surprised how often your screen name comes to mind.
Being 55, anything I eat that tastes good and doesn’t make me shit my pants, is a culinary win.
I, too, like Cuban Sandwiches.
Sadly, the wife sold the expensive pannini press for pennies on the dollar at a garage sale.

I thinks he’s saying she’s a lying cunt. But you can have your own take on it.
I mean, anything to claw her way back into the news, I guess, but this is just baffling.
Maybe she’s auditioning for a job at CNN? I mean if you can just right out lie like that with no shame.
The article is over two years old.
I read good.
*sigh*
So, you’re saying that we’ve know she’s a lying cunt for 2 more than 2 years and CNN didn’t tell us?
I had a COVID-themed dream the other night. I was drinking with my father, some other people, and an astronaut, an Armstrong/ Aldrin/John Glenn composite, who told all of us young people need to chill. I excused myself to go to bathroom, which was an absolute mess. I needed to take a shower. I saw myself naked for the first time in weeks. I was emaciated, but worse, the blot I noticed weeks ago on my shoulder had spread across my arms in various elaborate filigrees and curlicues, I decided then and there I had to start a blog to transcribe and decipher the messages on my arms. Also, my left and right arms were each inscribed with different fonts. And then I woke up.
Those aren’t the symptoms at all, maybe yours should see a psychoanalyst.
I’m thinking a bleach enema is in order. But I am not a doctor.
Mushroom season?
What do those things look like? I wonder if they grow around here. I typically don’t do stuff like that, but I’m tempted right now. I’m just curious what a Zoom work meeting while tripping on mushrooms would be like.

thx
Aquarium cleaner will knock that out in no time.
I think now you’re supposed to inject it and first you have to shove a flashlight up your ass. That’s what Trump said anyway.
Next time, just go–you don’t have to excuse yourself.
Also, avoid mirrors. It is known.
You have to start from where you’re at—
Take the highway; watch bugs splat
On your windshield, rat-a-tat-tat
like an ethereal welcome mat,
that lies above the ozone hat
About which environmentalists love to chat.
Some days, you hit cats.
Others, you’re not so lucky as that,
But only if you start where you’re at.
When you reach St. Joe
(an urban dynamo)
where strawberry sundaes don’t melt so slow,
And poets you know
read Richard Hugo,
not Victor, who, I’ve heard, drives a green Yugo.
Then, amigo,
You’ll be aware of that emerald auto,
and its pounding staccato.
This city has an angst of its own,
Above the clamour of fiendish traffic,
Above the drone of wailing industry.
For satanic cattle roam the fields,
And quote ribald verses with the power they wield.
Then they shit all over like they’re on deal-a-meal.
Bubba, your uncle, and your sister, his wife,
have invited you over for a fight with a knife.
Though friendly it may be, you politely decline.
“You’ll get used to it,” they say,
As they all run away
in frantic display
of unseemly trepida-
tion. For above your head,
There glows bright red,
A mushroom cloud, and now you’re dead.
So much for St. Joe, the pundits said.
They wheel you away, though minus your head.
Earlier in April, Worcester City Council (Massachusetts) voted April 27 ‘Take Out Day.’
Excellent stuff, Yusef.

I’ve heard she was once Hillary Clinton’s personal physician.
That’s sad. That creepy news report way of speaking didn’t make it any easier to listen to.
She probably got word of her furlough. Just saying, if she works in an emergency room, I’m sure she’s seen much worse than this. Or if not, it’s good thing she’s never visited John’s Hopkins emergency room on a weekend, she wouldn’t last 5 minutes when they haul in 10 gunshot wound victims with cops everywhere and 5 other guys ODing on something writhing around on the floor screaming.
She was in NYC. She was more likely working 72 hour shifts.
Fuck NBC News with a claw hammer, sideways. The fact that they are exploiting the suicide of a woman who no doubt dealt with a litany of issues, that indubitably preceded COVID-19, just so they can say “Corona Virus is bad, m’kay” is beyond despicable.
Am I missing something about the Wu Flu and doctors? It seems unlikely that these doctors never dealt with death on the job, and, I get that some are burning the candle at both ends. However, it just seems odd that it’s COVID that is breaking them.
It’s not child abuse, junkies, gangland wars, or fatal car wrecks that are getting to them; it’s a viral disease. Also, considering how many doctors agitate for government to DO SOMETHING!!! about all the other issues I’ve listed, what are they gonna be pushing for in the near future?

I have never understood the appeal of poetry. If it isn’t a limerick, especially one that starts “There once was a hermit named Dave”, I just get a blank stare. I’m sure Yusef is a swell fella, and I’m just a moron. Someone enlighten me.
The biggest thing about poetry is that you have to take your time while reading it, and read carefully.
Agile Cyborg turned my head to mush more than a few times, but I’m glad I paid attention.
I actually dig AC, ’cause it’s so “out there”. But, anything “serious”, and I become a brook trout.
You’re a Normie. You know, and a square.
If I were a Normie, I’d probably have more than zero friends. I’ve been cool since the 70s. Methinks I’m just dense.
Every thief is a poet and they know it.
There once was a hermit named Dave
Who kept a dead whore in his cave.
“I know it’s a sin,”
He said with a grin,
“But think of the money I save!”
There once was a man from Kent…
Fine.
There once was a man from Kent..
whose dick was so long it was bent
To stay out of trouble
He put it in doubled
And instead of coming he went.
There once was a man from Bel Air
Who was doing his wife on the stair
But the banister broke
So he doubled his stroke
And finished her off in mid-air
There was a young sailor named Bates
Who danced the fandango on skates.
But a fall on his cutlass
Has rendered him nutless,
And practically useless on dates.
Nick,
You bring to mind a story I recall from long ago about a limerick contest. According to the judge, “We just threw out all of the bawdy ones and the one that was left was declared the winner.”
But I LIKE the bawdy ones.
I thought bawdiness was kind of the point…
There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
“If my ear were a cunt I would fuck it”
Ah, I see that you, too, are a student of the classics.
An insomniac young fellow named Hatches
Took a room in a whorehouse in Natchez
He still tossed and turned
half the night, but he learned
How to manage by sleeping in snatches.
There once was a rabbi named Keith
Who circumcised men with his teeth
It was not for the leisure
Or the sexual pleasure
But to get at the cheese underneath…
pistoffnick, you warm my juvenile heart with your prose. I salute you, sir.
Poetry is for fags. In fact, so is reading.
I made money in high school writing poetry for jocks and knuckleheads

*not much, but it was worth a liter of vodka
Showing your cock to a zoom full of middle aged white guys is totes straight.
This is like saying Michelangelo was gay because he shared the beauty of his art with the world. The natural splendor of my penis is too great, too magnificent to be kept hidden underneath oppressive pants.
Greek and Roman statues had tiny cocks because they thought big dicks were for savages.
I don’t see the problem woth savages.
Wait… this actually nappened?
lol, happened…
So now, we’ve learned that gardening, poetry, and reading are for fags. I can’t wait to learn more about what fags do.
I don’t make the rules. I’m sorry you didn’t know how much you liked dick.
I don’t find any appeal in poetry. Verse without music pushes me towards violence.
Yeah, I think I once killed a guy for trying to make words rhyme. Way back when, I buried him in the hog pen. No one saw me, not even a hen, was that a sin?
*shivs Hyperion*
I’ve got better material!
Let me try.
Language can be an art. It evolved from “Og go right Trog go left kill mammoth” to “Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc’d it to you,
trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of our players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.”
Puns are disparaged but they are the best example of our language in action. Poetry is simply another expression of art in our language. Prose can spin a tale in 1000 words. Poetry can spin a tale in 30 words. Or 17 syllables. I posted my modest attempt in the last thread:
Evening skies are bright
With resplendent Venus high
Spring twilight has arrived.
Haiku restricts form to 5-7-5 syllables with the last line supposed to refer to the seasons.
Art separates us from the other primates.
So, I suck?
I’m not sure, but I think that I just argued the exact opposite.
I never said that, Korean car guy.
*flings poo at Bearded Hobbit*
but only to deflect that I also like haiku
Some people put words on paper so they can tell a story others tell a story so they can put words on paper, most are somewhere in between. Good writers (IMO) mix the two fairly evenly, if not you get either an acid trip or an instruction manual.
I understand the structure. I get why people write poetry. I don’t understand the appeal of reading or reciting poetry. I know words have power and meaning, like in a speech or the lyrics of a song. I just don’t get why anyone would want to read some long ass poem. It just seems like a waste of time. I guess I’m just a lower form of primate.
It’s ok not to like something.
I haven’t the foggiest idea as to why some people love running, but plenty of people do.

The Iliad and the Odyssey were both epic poems. The Upanishads were also.
The most ancient form of communicating stories was almost assuredly poems, sung or chanted.
DGWF, you may be thinking of a particular form of it and you hate *that* but Dryden and Spenser and Milton are all worth the read, as is Kipling, Shakespeare’s sonnets, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Tennyson, and a whole slew more. Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade” is worth knowing, as is, ahem, “Ozymandias,” if I do say so myself.
Maybe when I retire in a few years, I’ll delve in to it more. At this point, I just don’t see any value in it. We are on;y here for a limited time. I just can’t find a justification to spend my very limited time on mental masturbation, when I can focus on something more useful, like REAL masturbation. Que video of Lynyrd Skynrd”s Simple Man.

So I’m going to be a complete dick here but this is just rambling horseshit. We all know it. Yusef has contributed a lot of quality articles. This is not. Why do we have to act like it is? Agile Cyborg was fucking shit too. I could write about essentially anything and it would be a better article than this attempt at I dont know what. I hate this poetical jerking off. We are all better than this. Let the hate begin. I love Yusefs articles about actual content. I’m not a fucking 19 year old psych major. This is shit content.
You should ask for a refund.
Maybe he wants to speak to the manager?
God dammit.
*Popcorn time*
Oh boy!
I hope your popcorn didn’t get cold, looks like time to enjoy it now.
I could write about essentially anything . . .
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Free-form content. Feel free to contribute an article, yourself.
Will do
We look forward to your contribution.
Listen up, Tulpa! You done broke the rulez! Thou shalt comply with the groupthink goodness! You have expressed views which are not approved. This is a libertarian site!
Dude.
Some people liked it.
I did. I’m glad it was posted.
Unpossible – people’s tastes are uniform.
He expressed an unfavored view. He failed to see those invisible upvotes on the favored opinions. He must be cast out and deemed unworthy.
AND he stole Hyperbole’s schtick, too.
He’s going to hell!
Right?!
That captures my feelings on the matter.
I don’t love every post here, I don’t feel the need to advertise that fact. You can just skip it, or skip to the comments (like most people do anyway).
Are ‘we’ calling people out in public, as it were? No asides to discuss issues that are targeted at fellow members?
/I said ‘members’
It did strike me as a trifle churlish. On the gripping hand, ISTR there’s a newborn (thus, the avatar), so I’ll chalk it up to sleep deprivation.
I apologize, I certainly was too harsh. I just hate writing that needs to be “examined and analysed”. Fuck your stupid tangential and subliminal text.
Never apologize.
If Mark Twain can write books that make us laugh out loud today then I would try to copy his writing instead of trying to be the next Pink Floyd, who sucks.

N.J. teacher erupts at students playing football: ‘I hope you both die a long, painful death!’
“Parks closed!” the teacher shouted at the teens in the video. “Get it through your thick head! You are the reason we are in this situation. You are the problem, not the solution. Go ahead keep recording! Who are you going to show it to? Post me on social media! You’re the idiot doing the wrong thing. I’m just trying to save your ass and save your life. But die, OK?”
Well, Bye…

No problem for me.

OK, the YouTube video of those two doctors with their take on the COVID thing, posted in the morning links and reposted by C. Anacreon in the afternoon comments, has been removed, cited for “violating community standards”. Bastards, I was waiting until this evening to read it. Does anybody know where another copy might be?
I saw that too – no doubt ran afoul of YouTube’s new “anything that conflicts with the WHO will be removed”.
“Orwellian” is overused but when it fits…
Youtube is ran by the CCP?
These people, I’m talking the left in particular, are pissing off a lot of people. There is going to be serious blowback this time.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki:
She continued: “Anything that goes against WHO recommendations would be a violation of our policy and so remove is another really important part of our policy.”
(from Business Insider, but easily found – my comments with links are going to /dev/null)
That’s pretty self damning.
They never had a chance in this election, anyway, even before the Chinese Bat Soup KungFlu. They’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Here you go, you may want to watch it quick though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5GDPCUUBEE
The doc I called this morning commented, when sending me to the ER, “You won’t wait long. It’s almost empty. People are afraid.”
Just took wife to MGH for testing a few hours ago – got an appointment within a couple hours and the whole thing took less than an hour – x-rays + covid testing.
(she’s a bit of a hypochondriac – some aches in her chest. a) I’m pretty certain it’s allergies + asthma [no fever, no cough] and b) even if she tests positive for the Wu Flu, they’re not going to do anything, as she isn’t having difficulty breathing).
Here’s about half of the original video.

This should still work.

I didn’t watch most of it. Part I saw: The sheltering at home policy is weakening immune systems and will cause bigger problems once they reopen society.

Thanks all. Straff’s is gone already, but Stinky’s is still good at 10:13 CDT.
The coordinated response to that video from all the usual suspects on DerpBook is that those two are trauma/ER docs NOT epidemiologists/virologists, so they have no clue about the subject. Also, those two own a chain of urgent-care clinics/walk-up ER type places and they are only making these claims because their pill-mills are currently shut-down.
That’s as nutty as the way Youtube/Vimeo/Twitter treated those healight guys. The CEO even posted an oped in the WSJ about it.
YouTube has a new policy against doing or encouraging dangerous stunts. “This might work. What do you think?” is a dangerous stunt, evidently.
Especially if it’s something that Trump supporters are sharing as evidence that he isn’t as big a blithering idiot as the press makes him out to be.
The link posted by C. Anacreon was still working around 6-7 PM EDT, when I watched the video. Now it’s gone.

Oh, why not- since Hizzoner DeWine said they’d “consider” using tracking apps to follow CoVID+ patients: AC was prescient:
Agile Cyborg
February.23.2017 at 8:25 am
Mass surveillance and data collection at its core exists as absolutist state-sanctioned violence against citizens.
To deny that inestimable power exists under a supreme cloak accumulating all-encompassing properties that form the realities of a populace is to deny your own destiny within such a system.
The final monument to the journey of man will not likely be sky-reaching silvery edifices home to bright and satisfied creatures but a chisel’s trail parting quantum particles on a charred stone sign weary with time.
Thank you, Tres. I can always count on you to dig up the really good AC.
See what I mean, Mo? That’s pure fucking gold.
AC, when he wasn’t talking about sky-penises fuckin nebula vaginas and erupting into supernovas that were blasted on everyone’s faces….he was our SW Ohio HM ( I think he was in Yellow Springs or so)
I remember the night when he was battling giant electric catfish in a bend on the Ohio somewhere Southeast of Cincy.
Everyone speaks of AC as though he is no longer with us. Did I miss something? I was away for a year or two due to personal shit and health issues. I haven’t been around for a while. Please, excuse my ignorance.
I don’t believe AC ever made the jump to Glibs, and if I’m not mistaken he’d been pretty scarce over at Hit & Run even before the exodus. I like to think he was called home and is off spraying his cosmic seed across the galactic ass checks of the eternal something or others in the make up some words and repeat nonsense Cadilac has two ll’s lama ram a ding dong.
Nice.
*discreet applause*
I thought he joined us in the Great Migration, but I wasn’t sure, since I drink a lot and my memory is highly unreliable. If there’s no earthly confirmation of his demise, then I feel better, knowing he is probably tripping on shrooms, or whatever the hell it was that inspired his eloquent, if not surreal postings.
*chugs tall boy in honor of AC*
Don’t know.
I think I possibly remember someone saying he dropped by here a couple of times when it was first started up, but didn’t hang around for some reason. I don’t even know if that’s true.
Otherwise, occasionally I will go to ToS to search, but I don’t seem to find anything recent.
AC is with us- he’s made his mark.
If I ever win the lottery I’m going to devote six months to collecting all his writings from ToS into one place.
AC was a YSer? I didn’t know that, but it explains a lot.
DGWF, I don’t know that AC ever joined the migration to Glibs from TOS.
I have to stop now. I’m out of acronyms.
I think he showed up one evening shortly after the Glibbeninig. Different handle, but it sounded just like him when he wasn’t so stoned – he was very precise and well-spoken before the ‘shrooms or whatever kicked in.
He said he wouldn’t be commenting here as he felt too exposed in this more intimate setting (paraphrasing here).
Obviously someone the before times and no one else could come close to him even when he wasn’t (so) stoned.
The Glibbening. Nice
I can’t respect anyone who thinks that fucking retard is worth mentioning. Are you all meth addicts? I thought libertarians were slightly logical and not moved by the retarded musings of a star trek lsd addict. WTF is wrong with you all? I did too many drugs and I think he’s a retard. Where is your logic?
Oh, blow it out your ass, you hateful fucking twat.
WHY COME GLIBTARDS LIKE STUFF ME NOT LIKE?!! ME MAD!!!
I commented on this subject earlier today. Mass testing is impossible without police state like conditions and more massive expansion of government. What are they going to do? Set up road checks everywhere and pull people out of their cars to take blood? And then what, put tracking devices on people and if anyone tests positive, haul them off to Leper style Fema Camps? Or what? What the fuck are they going to do? Because short of all that, it’s a bunch of bullshit they’ve pulled out of their asses.
Trump has done very well to this point. To his credit, I don’t see him calling for the forming of massive new bureaucracies to handle the new crisis. Think DHS, NSA, etc, only far worse.
The rent seekers are out there with their tongues wagging for millions of new jobs by fiat of new unconstitutional agencies, while decent people go on unemployed. But so far, we’ve at least avoided that. But it’s what they want, and it’s the entire reason for the calls for this massive new ‘testing’.
Anybody want a peanut?
No more rhymes now, I mean it!
Total change of subject:
Not (previously) a Formula 1 fan, but goddamn am I enjoying Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The episodes are a perfect length for a session on the rowing machine, the cinematography is top-notch and the driving gets you pumped. Plus the stories are compelling.
The only problem is trying to save them for rowing sessions instead of just tearing through them. That, and not googling the various drivers and teams to see what happened (season 2 is the 2019 season).
The Hyperbole’s comment above, “Got a nickel in my pocket, …”, led me to write this:
I’m home but I’m working
I’m losing my mind
I’m still very healthy, yeah
I’m stuck due to COVID
I’m fine but I’m quarantined
I’m pissed but I’m hopeful, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be locked down tight
So I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the fin-ger.
Nice!
Nice. I have that album.
Perfect lyrical update.
You should keep running with it. I feel like there’s plenty of options at “Swallooooow it down”
Hah, I have limited creative juices, that drained me for a while.

Here’s guv Newsom reveling in his usurped power.
Listen how he chastises and threatens to hold back out treats.
He’s a foppish version of Nurse Rached.

It’s getting close to time for massive civil disobedience.
I stopped at “as we change our behavior, we change our data…”
Fuck that evil prick
His creepy insistence of “we” this and “we” that reminds me of a veterinarian who’s explaining to a pet owner what they are about to do to the pet. “So we’re gonna put this around our snout and then we are going to take a little nap.”
Government is just what we all do together. /Barack Obama
So, a gang rape?
Hey, we voted on it! 11 for and only one against. Democracy!
Unless more go to the side of civil disobedience, his argument of locking down further will hold. Him like whats-her-face from MI have pinned the extension onto those who are done being told to stay home.
Wait until it warms up a little more around the country.
It keeps being said here on the site….but I fear it will not happen. A reinvented boogieman will emerge and the Karens will (like MADD) drive the policy
Our guv is a first rate scumbag of the highest order with a god complex. This is playing right into it. I refuse to believe the polls thrown out about his popularity right now. The asshole thinks he actually has a shot at becoming President in 2024. He was a terrible mayor and is now a terrible governor.
Gavin Newsom–elected Asshole of California, 2018.
The man looks like the shittiest of used care salesmen, as well as looking oily that whale shit in an ice floe.
That’s the shame about districts or states that are true blue or true red. All kinds of scum can rise to top and keep getting elected if they pick the winning team.
Was Reagan really so long ago?
Reagan was a lifetime ago, it really heavily changed here with the first dot com boom, California was a different place before the first tech boom. I’m not saying it was all bad, but it changed the place politically, as well as mucho immigration. Just a few years (damn, guess it is 7) I could shoot skeet in the city limits here at an old club on the side of a lake. That old piece of the city, which was here for 100 years was wiped out by progressivism that has taken total control.
Long enough for the Millennials to not know anything about him, other than that he hated the Black community. At least, that’s the trope I still see played out in pop culture.
Well he and the legislature did pass gun control laws after seeing armed black men standing on the steps of the capitol…oh wait, we’re not going to mention that…
Bearing that in mind, it’s rather interesting that it was Brady who went full-on anti-gunner after getting shot.
Like Gabby Giffords, I’m not sure how in full possession of his pre-shot mental faculties he was. And how much was manipulation by the spouse.
Oh, yeah….I do seem to recall her presence in that. Not that I was very cognizant at the time.
NV governor has decided he is not the executive of Nevada but rather the lackey of the “coalition” of western states.
I fear Vegas…not the casinos and nudie booties, but the valley will die in the desert after this because of his inaction.
But Al Davis came back to life just so the raiders could get 5 wide receivers in the first 5 rounds of the draft! We gotta playz da foozball!
Not very principled of me, but if it helps screw over the Raiders, keep Vegas locked down.
Will they even BE the Raiders if they’re not in NoCal?
They were in SoCal for a couple decades. I also wish them all the worst in their new home. Al was a football force for a while, and I respect what he accomplished but fuck duh Raiduhs.
Here, the “rivalry” has kind of fizzled out into a point-and-snicker-alry.
I was actually a Raiders fan as a kid before they moved to LA. Then I went to the Niners. I was enjoying watching Derek Carr develop as a QB, but then he had the broken back and leg and he got the Fear. He hasn’t been the same player since. Yeah, the Raiders/Chiefs have been a great rivalry, but the last couple decades since Al started declining and Jr took over they’ve mostly sucked real bad.
What the deuce? Do the other governors have dirt on him? Does he need what happened in Vegas to stay in Vegas?
Nice.
Ha! Like the two-fer pop-culture references….
He is waiting till almost the last day to decide how to extend this shutdown…

Nicely done,
Also, did you check the thermostat?
I know, I know, I live in SF so I should expect this, but it was not always even close to this bad. We have always had a significant street people population (well at least since the 80’s when I can remember it). This panic has kicked it into overdrive, the drugged out bums, dealers, insane and criminal have taken over. I know all cities in the US (and elsewhere) have a “homeless” problem, but this is an order of magnitude different. I was working in the Loin today and it was Mad Maxesque, the insanity level ramped up to 11. I often have jobs there, but haven’t for the past month or so. It is shockingly bad, I just don’t think this goes on in many places in this country to this degree. Every boarded up storefront had an encampment with tarps and tents and all kinds of flotsam and jetsam. Air of utter chaos.
One reason is nicer weather. Not many homeless in Duluth.
But beyond that, the maxim that you get more of what you reward has been in full force for a long time in San Francisco homelessness.
Who encouraged the settlement of homeless, mentally ill etc? And WHY?!!
Here it is all crack carrots all the time and no stick. It wasn’t always like that, but for sure Newsom didn’t help during his two terms here, it definitely worsened then. There used to be a few moderating influences at City Hall with the Supes, but those are all long gone. It is full bore prog, and with the money connection with the homeless service non profits it has just become a magnet for every addict, alcoholic, mental case, or derelict. You can legally do any drug you want on the streets, there are plenty of meal and other handouts, begging is decent, plenty to steal, and a political culture that allows you to do any kind of antisocial behavior with little consequences. The City is an enabler, writ large, of degeneracy.
So a few votes (maybe) and aid agency bucks are enough political incentive to feed the infestation?
That seems so hard to believe. But maybe there are more aid bucks than I realize.
Nancy should have to live with them.
250 million aid bucks per year. It adds up to a house in the Midwest per homeless.
It’s gotten worse here in Baja Washington, starting from when OWS brought public camping. Before then, the homeless really tried to stay out of sight. Now they don’t care and don’t have to. They’ve lost their fear.
I hope you had a gun.
More Newsom:
Whatadouche.
Isn’t that pretty much like the abusive husband asking the wife “Why do you make me hit you?”
Ah! The “It’s for your own good” tactic. Sorry that you and the other CA glibs have to put up with that turd in a
dresssuit.It worked for other guvs so why not?
Just like seatbelts or motorcycle helmets.
B…b…but–how can you enjoy your freedom if you’re DEAD?!?
Like that twat over in HK talking to protesters last year, about how they valued freedom over safety, and she fundamentally disagreed with them.
Stay in China, bitch.
Speaking of HK, despite covid and China arresting a swath of people, they’re coming back out to keep up the pressure.

That’s a real shame. Port Deposit is one of my favorite parts of Maryland. Dates way back to early colonial history and has the oldest hotel (now a restaurant, the Okd Union Hotel.
White town is built into a sheer slate cliff. Named Port Deposit because it was where they unloaded and loaded boats, making their “deposits.”
Never would have guessed that would be a hotbed if over-reacting cops.

3 days off, then two days on, then two weeks (laid)off. My unemployment from last time still hasn’t been processed, and I can’t get an answer about if I’m getting Trump Bux (TM); but at least no one killed my dead grandma’s with the COVID!, so this must be the only way.
I don’t get why there would be a wait for you to get the T$. Anyway, here’s hoping it gets resolved quickly, along with your ue claim.
I’m that guy that always has that ‘this has never happened before’, ‘this has never come up before’ always happens to.
Then there is THIS BULLSHIT.
I got no idea what I’m watching there.
They spout mere garbage. Green Bay Packers. No thanks!
a clip from the Pat McAfee show, discussing that Thursday night, in the first round of the NFL Draft, the Packers traded a 4th round pick to move up to draft a QB (Jordon Love) instead of getting a player to help them win, and it’s the Brett Favre drama all over again.
I understood a couple of those words.
#WINNING
Forgot you weren’t a sports guy. Long short: Packer be big for Sconsin. Aaron Rogers Big Chief Packer. Packers Pick New Big Chief Packer, make everyone mad.
I am sorry for the family of the New York doctor who’d been stressed about COVID19 and committed suicide.
But as the tabloids pose her corpse so they can say she epitomizes the strain on the doctors and that “the COVID19 killed her”, I want to suggest that a doctor without pre-existing mental health issues would be highly unlikely to snuff herself out over this.
Well, even if it is the result of domestic violence, that is the fault of the virus, so it stands to reason (yes I drank)…
So much this. It’s not easy to watch people suffer all the way to death. But, it seems to me that:
A) not every patient they treat for COVID is dying (unless this is a special unit/location)
2) working in a hospital means seeing patients die quite often, and many in agony.
NO ONE EVER DIED BEFORE COVID!
Especially with all that snot.
Well, there was that one kid on Double Dare…but except for that we were all immortal until…COVID!
Man, that is one fricked up game show, if they were messing around with snot.
Who’s snot? How’d they get enough for a game show? Were there special waiver that had to be signed? These are the questions!
Mark Summers’ I guess.
There may be two additional stressors for medical professionals due to COVID19.
One is more doctors and nurses getting sick due to treating sick people without proper gear.
The other is seeing people die without family and/or friends. There is a higher percentage of that happening because the powers that be won’t let them near the dying person.
Hello. Goodnight.
Alrighty, there, Mr. Quickie.
I will have you late nighters know, after the I got back from work Friday night, some lesser drunk had already fucked up the Zoom chat. It was still going when I got back from work Saturday night, and was then promptly put in charge. Like I said, I’m an essential drunk. Those Zoom participants got to help me workshop the next cartoon. This is what you miss out on.
Do tell! Also, what did you come up with vis-a-vis the next installment?
C’mon–you can tell Digby…
You mean Vice Versa, I’m guessing. No Going with the Trump injecting bleach, and now a Kim Jong Un kicker to be written.
Dude, stop teasing with that, and make it happen!
It’s so good, I’ve got to tease it out until I’m good enough to actually pull it off. Anyway, Time for trying to sleep.

Springtime for Civil in Albany
My favorite weekend pastime is hanging out on our back porch all morning. I was able to do so Saturday morning, then ended up staying there almost all afternoon because I couldn’t do the “weed whacking” (string trimmer out of line) and I waited all afternoon for Home Depot to complete my Online Order for Curbside Pickup for the replacement spools. (Order wasn’t ready until Sunday morning.) I’m glad I did stay out, even if it felt like a wasted day, because Sunday morning it was too dag-gone cold & windy to be outside.
It’s late April, dammit! It’s supposed to we warmer than that in SW OH by now!
I tell yas, locking people inside is causing global cooling.

Good morning all.
I’m a bit irritated to hear that apparently, as of May 12th (a Tuesday? WTF?) I’ll have to wear a mask to the grocery, even though I haven’t had to do so since the Panic-demic began. Note to self: stock up on groceries like crazy on or before May 11th.
If I have to start wearing a mask to the office, I think I’ll request two weeks of vacation, even if I can’t go anywhere. I’ll have more than 200 hours accrued, and we max out at 240.
I’m thinking of driving out of state to shop.
Which direction?
When my uncle lived in Holl-uh, The Netherlands, he used to drive across the border to Germany to get groceries because it was cheaper/better.
I’m close to both Vermont and Massataxes, I’d have to check which one is less tyrannical right now.
Hmmmm….that’s not a bad idea. We’re within pretty easy reach of Richmond, IN. I’ll have to keep an eye on what they’re doing – and hope their governor isn’t playing monkey-see-monkey-do with DeWine.
Shit, I’d have to drive all the way to New Hampshire.
Mornin’.
That was beautiful, man. I enjoyed it very much. I’m not a BG fan so I had to ask the interweb what a Cylon ship is.

Wow, the local news just admitted half of PA’s kung flu deaths were nursing home residents.
None of them would EVER have died if YOU hadn’t gone to that liquor store!!!
I’m doing my part to keep SS solvent.
Alcohol; it’s not a problem, it’s a solution!
of ethanol and water?
I believe that was the joke, yes. Solvency, solution, alcohol. The ingredients for a pun were there but I’m not a qualified joke mixologist. Eh. You get what you pay for in this dive.
I usually don’t find the solution and end up part of the precipitate.
What’s that? Sorry, I filtered you out there.
Simples. That’s BOM’s fault. Plain and simple! Also SS becoming insolvent, etc, so you see, he wants to kill old people. It’s all part of his diabolic plan.
*sigh*
Time to get ready for work.
have fun.
We accepted an offer on the house last night. If all goes well, we’ll be rolling into Dallas in about 3 weeks! We have only the vaguest of plans once we get there, but we’ll figure it out.

congrats
Good luck! My very limited experience of Dallas is that it is big and crazy but that’s my experience of any big city. In particular there was a very loud and ridiculous woman screaming at some guy in Dealey Plaza. Definitely nowhere near London in the crazy stakes, though, everything being relative.
Fantastic news – congratulations!
