A Reclamation Project Begun

A Reclamation Project Begun

As you work your way through the links here, don’t be shy. Get ‘Click Happy.’ Even on pics. FIGHTING BACK ONE FILE AT A TIME … How bad has it gotten? I uploaded this video from the old Instapunk at YouTube an hour ago. It has already been removed for violating YT Community Standards.  There’s a pdf version, just published, of the post from Instapunk.com the video above was created for. Nobody censored it 15 years ago. Back then, it was unquestioningly covered as freedom of expression. Here’s my pdf file of ‘ The Goosestep Enigma ’.  This was by no means the most controversial post or graphic included in Instapunk’s 2,000+++ posts over the years. Now I’m going back in time to make pdf versions of the key parts of that website, meaning the most comical, controversial, reflective, insightful, and graphically provocative. But why reinvent the wheel. It’s all still there, isn’t it? The sad fact is that the truly huge resource called Instapunk.com is facing a ticking clock. The original site

Stunned and bored is a bad combination

Image
Interesting cutout. But what’s the blob at the center all about?  Can’t watch the news right now. Even Trump, fighting for his life and ours, looks bored. You have no idea how much I rely on what I call Serendicity. My own portmanteau word combining serendipity with Jung’s synchronicity. When I can’t take what’s going on, I shift into a female mode of going passive on my couch and trusting the 570 channels with nothing on to show me what I need to see, chosen almost entirely at random. Works amazingly well. Always has. I’ve given up on the MAGA megaphone for awhile. No more War Room right now. Do love that Natalie Winters. Brains and articulate fury Bannon has lost the knack of. Anymore he reminds me of Bill O’Reilly, a man of dubious literacy who mispronounces things and keeps reminding us he went to Harvard at some point. O’Reilly went to the Kennedy School of Government, Bannon to the Harvard Business School, meaning they come from Harvard’s two worst graduate schools, where good gr

Too late, too bad for the Light Brigade

Image
  It really is too late, and there really is no hope of saving the republic. Just telling the truth. Everything depends on the rule of law and that is gone. The only fact that matters is the bar associations across the nation have been weaponized against Trump and the attorneys who dare to represent him. They are being targeted for disbarment. This tells us just how deep the rot has gone. It’s not just the headline makers; it’s the glunks and drones in the institutions beneath the bosses. Here’s the truth. I admire Trump for his courage and his mission. But would I like him in person, want him in my house for dinner? No. Do I want him in the White House? Yes. Absolutely. But that’s also a measure of how we got this far down the road to ruin. My Dad died at the precise moment of the turn of the century. He would have been a Never Trumper. Something about class. Not caste but class. Trump is not a gentleman. Which was always my Dad’s first priority in men. He would have listed that first

Zuck Boy who didn’t get into the Phoenix at Harvard has sex hang-ups

Image
 Facebook just removed one of my first indications that they would be coming for me. The real reason Well, here’s what they didn’t like… “They’ll Be Coming for Me.”  Limp Dick Zuck … Interestingly, they didn’t shut me down for what I posted two weeks before . I think they suddenly got worried about the Lion in Winter.

Why we’re going to lose if flyover sheeple don’t get off their ass and vote

Image
If we’re so useless and insignificant to the nation’s well being, why they keep trying to make  us  shell out big bucks for T-shirts with messages most people could get just by looking at us? I warn you I’m going to show you some calculations and data tables here. My message is one I can’t put on a T-shirt and therefore one most people don’t have a lot of patience with. It’s about who’s really in charge, and why they are definitely going to cheat us out of a fair election for the second straight time. My line of argument will be provided up front. But my points are just generalizations and easy to dismiss as prejudiced and anecdotal. They aren’t. Why you really should take time to study the cells and tables. Okay? Here’s my point in a nutshell. There is an early invulnerable elite in this country, in every single state as it turns out. These are people who work for the government. Unlike every privately or self-employed citizen in the rest of the country, their compensation is not sub

Why I didn’t get a Magna at Harvard

Image
  Typically, I broke all the rules. Didn’t cite what other critics said,  because they had no understanding, and I was going deeper  than  anyone else had gone. No footnotes. No plagiarism either. CLGS.  What I learned from being an English major at Harvard. My two best 20th Century writers were Virginia Woolf and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I wrote in my senior thesis about both of them, their two best books. I considered them absolutely equal in talent, beautiful, born brilliant. I had detected a sex difference worth writing about. Not about gender hierarchy. About the relation between sex and time as a dimension. Women are all about now, this moment. Men are about the arc of time, the span of life. I loved both books lavishly, but I came down on the side of, uh, no one. Just the revelation that men and women are different . My two graders were women. Not professors. PhD candidates. They kicked me apart for having no footnotes, no other authority beyond myself to legitimize my weird theory.

The impenetrable NYC Bubble

Image
  Funny as hell and deadly serious Let me begin on a note we can all agree on. There is a time in our teen lives when we imprint on popular music. What we were listening to during the dramatic changes in our bodies, social lives, and aspirational identities stays with us, regardless of what we come to value and treasure later in life. Everyone has those certain songs that are foundational chords in their lives, and they respond physically to even a few notes of the recordings that gave rise to their libidos and, well, self . Two not unrelated things. This is a constant and nothing new. There are Sinatra imprints, Elvis, Beach Boys, Dylan, Motown, Beatles, Stones, Who, Doors, Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Pink Floyd, James Taylor, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, James Brown, Rick James, Springsteen, Metallica, and on and on and on imprints. (Apologies to the imprinters in Country, Disco, Jazz, and Blondie/Madonna Pop, have my own chords there too.) I never judge those. We just all
