A Musk Ox Isn't an Ox at All But More Closely Cognate with the Goat

Well, I built another grid of mostly anger though I can honestly state that I chose not to post far more links than the number of links I did post





Haiku I made in 2014 I found last night in a box while looking for something else and now taped to the back of my office door where no one will see it but me, it is more true today than ever and is now Theme Haiku for the compulsive grids. When was the last time I wrote a haiku, the fuck, any poem? Too, day after tomorrow is one of two posts a year not tagged My Complicity and I want at least one day between an angry grid and a happy post, hey, there's new Tropical Fuck Storm, banned as Swans when L is in my car!





WE ARE RULED BY MONSTERS, YO
All cleared to launder monsters' $$
Planning for Trump 2028
"DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes" (from 2 links below)
The Rot at the Core of “Democracy”
"Evil lunacy, the forms of comedy that become cruelty when acted out upon real people, is perfectly coherent. Trump is the most brilliant comedian on the American stage, and certainly the best comedian ever to become President. It only adds to his crimes that he brings evil to comedy, too"
"The Obama Democratic Party (ODP) was a kind of balancing mechanism between the power and money of the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their New York bankers; the interests of bureaucratic and professional elites who shuttled between the banks and tech companies and the work of bureaucratic oversight; the ODP’s own sectarian constituencies, which were divided into racial and ethnic categories like “POC,” “MENA,” and “Latinx,” whose bizarre bureaucratic nomenclature signaled their inherent existence as top-down containers for the party’s new-age spoils system; and the world of billionaire-funded NGOs that provided foot-soldiers and enforcers for the party’s efforts at social transformation"
"Always worth a reminder that Obama inherited ICE as a fledgling agency, increased its budget 300%, established a nationwide network of detention centres and expanded the 'secure communities' enforcement program from 14 counties under Bush Jr to all 3,181 jurisdictions in America"
Schumer: The Worst Possible Democratic Leader at the Worst Possible Time
Vital reminder from the week after the election Schumer's first and only priority is protecting Wall Street and I bet Wall Street told him to pass this bill to buy them time to short everything before Trump tanks the market
As predicted above: "Four Megabanks on Wall Street Hold $3.2 Trillion in Uninsured Deposits – Which May Explain Senator Schumer’s Pivot to the GOP to Stop a Government Shutdown"
O, and Schumer is an insanely 2ealous 2ionist 6enocidaire too!
"The reality is if all registered voters had turned out, then Donald Trump would’ve won the popular vote by 5 points [instead of 1.7 points]. So, I think that a “we need to turn up the temperature and mobilize everyone” strategy would’ve made things worse"
Where is Obama and why is he silent about Trump's coup he helped make possible and helped facilitate?
No link, just a rhetorical question no one seems to be asking but me
But why do I seem to be the only one asking and why, in the big press stories about Woe are the Democrats Where Do They Go Now is Obama mentioned in the past tense if he's mentioned at all?
"The secret-ballot vote to pick Connolly over AOC was 131 to 84 in a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, so it's not just Schumer who's the problem. Until Americans have a party that Wall Street can't control, we'll just get a new cast of sellouts reading from the same script"
Nationalism and Capitalism’s Ever-Spiraling Crisis
American Destiny? On Trumps 2nd term
"Never forget who laid the ground for Trump’s crackdown: Those who perpetrated the genocide and demonized students and citizens protesting against it. @KamalaHarris’ rhetoric here is indistinguishable from Trump’s"
It served Trump's purpose which is always his *only* goal. It wasn't sheer incompetence, it was a narcissistic sociopath who understands how info is fed into brains in 2025 and decided this stunt's upside outweighed it's bad and did it no matter the waste of water or the lie
"Liberal democracy was pretty good for a lot of people, flaws and all. It’s current competitors (U.S. neomonarchical protectionism and ethnonationalism for example )are uniformly awful and represent a new dark age of ignorance, mass suffering, and enslavement. This isn’t a hysterical prognosis. This is the cliff we find ourselves on, while the nominal opposition party shrugs its shoulders and reconfigures its investment portfolios"
Please stop telling me Bernie Sanders is an honorable human
"Democrats spent years babbling about a completely fictional conspiracy theory where Russians were blackmailing Trump with a pee fetish tape but haven't said a peep about the far more well-evidenced probability that Epstein recorded Trump raping kids in an Israeli blackmail op"
The Kingdom of Judea vs. The State of Israel
This Is Trump's 6enocide Now
Wildly Unhinged America Expands Orgy of Genocides
"The 2ionist project has gotten absolutely everything it could ever want in their unbridled massacres of starving people save for the love and approval of the rest of the human population of this planet, and it only drives them to new heights of sadism and barbarity
"New piles of murdered children in Gaza tonight"
Five things to remember as the Mahmoud Khalil case developsI have a few quibbles with some of it but it is worth your time
Every Administration Since Obama Has Been Bombing Yemen, Yet…
Major new books about the peoples who lived in North America for millennia before the arrival of Europeans are reshaping the history of the continent.

A run-on sentence on Gabriel García Márquez’s delirious novel The Autumn of the Patriarch
The Limits of Coherence: On John Trefry's *Massive*
I bought this as an object and object lesson not as a front-to-back read, to pick it up, feel its weight, see the font the lines the columns and hold it and read random pages, ten minutes a night, to not feel a need to make sense of it, holyfuck
Is Robert Frost Even a Good Poet?

BETWEEN US AND

Anne Carson

BETWEEN US AND
animals is a namelessness.
We    flail    around
generically      —
camelopardalis    is   what
the Romans came up with
or  "giraffe" ( it looked to
them  like a camel crossed
with a leopard ) or get the
category wrong — a musk
Ox  isn't  an  ox at  all but
more closely  cognate with
the   goat —  and   when
choosing   to    name
individual  animals  we
pretend  they  are   objects
(Spot) or  virtues  (Beauty)
or  just  other selves  (Bob).
