Got cynicism? Hate-spreading people should call others a real life, genderless hate-invoking last name like “Trump” — who’s Donald routinely calls women “nasty” — instead of incidentally bashing a lot of innocent young girls named Karen.

“But if some part of the mind were not free, doesn’t that make all your poetry and all your tomes on these subjects all for naught?”
What does this mean?

I took a junior college level course four or five years ago in Cultural Anthropology. I don’t remember any sites in this topic mentioned in the text book, although (apparently) we started discovering these sites in the 1990s.
From ChatGPT, my query:
in what areas of the world are we finding new evidence of human, neolithic (or earlier)…[Read more] -

Yo —
I ain’t forget, nah, I etched it in graphite,
That afternoon light, like fate in a fistfight.
Street was a stage, collision was script—
Didn’t see it then, but the ink don’t slip.Heart got jacked like a beat in the mix,
Love scribbled sharp in a moment that sticks.
Organs strung out, nerves all twisted,
Lines got blurred,…[Read more] -

Oh, i remember, i recall, not that i forgot at all. The afternoon, the street; sweet convergence then unknown but put down as a given with the pencil of intent in which true love is written. Organs smitten, covergence riven, the Sack of Suds the protagonist bitten.I love all of this. I’ve missed this, Jake.

Wow. First thought, they must have been able to find a lot of meat; second thought there must have been a lot more natural, edible plants back then. I confirmed with AI, and saw lots of other good info and research on this topic. While “only 5%” of this area has been dug up! And there are some similar sites not far away.

That all makes sense. Yes, you’re a good writer. Here, only Jake invokes more esoteric vocab and poetic-licensed creativity. Enco kinda does that too, but I don’t have the time to look up a lot of his historic references. History was my worst percentile score in high school, along with other Humanities. (Just IMO; I try not to declare truths for…[Read more]

WOW, fantastic fancam-based production! I think I see some on-stage taken cuts spliced in, although I see no credit given for them. (Unless a fan had great perspective and zoomability. I do see some lower-rez shots, which is fine.)
Some reactors really bug me, with their personal opinion/mocking of all the stage-facing phones seen in an audience.…[Read more]

Nothing interesting about it, Pope.I really hope that view prevails, someday after Trump/MAGAism.
In my head I’ve started trying to compare Trumpism with McCarthyism. They’re both historically dark eras for USA, with some kind of group human nature built in that I want to learn about. Comparable to cults, in fact. (Hmm, now I…[Read more]
