Wow you two folks are unbelievable in how you jump to conclusions that aren’t there.

You’re seeing something not there. I responded to the focus on “bright.” I exemplified young children and people with Down syndrome because many have an incorrect stereotype of them not being bright. But they are indeed. As evident in many ways. Far brighter than the folks she talked about.

I never said nor implied I would expect them to be either.

And so incredibly, ridiculously rigid. I mean, how can anyone legitimately think that just because something about a story is outside their experience that it is automatically wrong? I know people with Down syndrome and kids under 7 who wouldn’t be so foolish and narrow minded.

I’m convinced that he is being blackmailed.

Men who molest boys typically aren’t gay. They are too screwed up to simply be with a man.

He’s turned 180 and does Trump’s bidding 100%.

Ess Byr @feistybadger.bsky.social · 5d

Oh I’m convinced he’s molested little boys.

KM is fantastic, but Parker can instantly grab her voice, intonation, accent, attitude and arrogance perfectly.

Our YMCA had all old men, at least on the floor across from me and right above. They did indeed stand naked in the window & masterbate a lot—and only at young women’s rooms & female floor upstairs. I ended up moving in w/ 2 gay guys in a triple. They never got a 2nd look from elders across the way.

In 1978, my 13th floor dorm room window faced the YMCA, directly across the street. I can attest not much fun seemed to be happening there. Unless getting naked while smoking and standing motionless in your window while coeds merely laugh at you counts as great fun.

Help by The Beatles. Lennon always wanted it to be slow.

He’s a Slitheen, one of the disgusting aliens from Doctor Who that fart incessantly in their meat suits made to look like corpulent humans. Foul in temper and smell, repulsive and greedy, power-hungry bastards good for no one nowhere in all the universe.

since my former boss’s two sweet sons, whom I used to help out decades ago, were slaughtered in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, my home city. That Trump is stoking more people like their murderer … my broken heart is trying to heal with its own flames, very different from what Trump wants.

Btw, I found you here after seeing your post on Generation Jones about being non-political is “a privilege.” Thanks for expressing what I was feeling. Also, I’m in LA too, by Echo Park. How’s it feel to you to be in a hellscape war zone? Though seriously, I haven’t been the same 🧵

Seems to me in this case you are making a valiant work of true art out of a vile pile of false, heartless shite.

New work

I’m writing a book on Mein Kampf…. CORRECTION— I’m writing in the book Mein Kampf

I recently began creating an altered book*

Then, this week, a 1935 edition of Mein Kampf fell into my hands. Stepping around a discussion of myriad ethical issues

Hmmmm. Remember all the 2nd Amendmenters backlash at attempts to stop or at least reduce Internet sales? In this case it was a proverbial shot in the wallet of his own store.

Thank goodness for the occasional standup guys like Jim.
