Sigh-sound of Lament, of Remorse, Sob-sound of Rue

Guess what I've been listening to since last Wednesday

First of two last attempts to rematerialize Hamster in our physical world, the second on Friday

David Thomas' death hurt more than any not George not only because of lost future music but because it reminded me of what I've neglected in what once paid a huge return on investment. The fuck is wrong with me. My left eye:

Monologue, like always, in the grid, the post a poem. I have not written one in a tablet in months, a year. As I type this White House officials are calling Jeff Bezos a CCP operative even as Amazon sprints to deny the story that sparked the White House shitfit




Fake news or not viz Bozos, shitlord buyer's remorse *is* kicking in, will not save us. It's not the march to authoritarianism the shitlord's regret it's its execution by the now demented and unreliable grievance-driven narcissistic shit-smelling sociopath, "unreliable" the key word. Trump dumped will not save us. My right eye:



Is this marsupial town? Is this arachnid town? When David Thomas and Richard Thompson played together:

The revolution will not be led by a Jeff
"We Are Trapped In A Dystopia That Is Ruled By Lunatics"
Virginia Giuffre 'Quieted'					There will be blood
"People used to say that when fascism came to America it would be wrapped in the flag, but nobody realized that it would also arrive in the name of free speech and fighting antisemitism"
I. Hate. Motherfucking. Democrats
Pritzker, yesterday: "It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car"
⬆	Yeah, watch motherschumering Democrats run away from it						⬇
"The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption"
⬆	I guarantee you motherschumering Democrats hate this fat boy more than the fat boy the claim to hate. Guarantee						⬆
⬆	I mean, the likelihood that this is grandstanding for 2028 and/or a test balloon rather than a genuine call for revolution is huge and massive, but even if it was OKed as an op by motherschumering Democrats I guarantee motherschumering Democrats hate Pritzker						⬆
⬆	Adding, I bet Pritzker didn't say a word about Democrats' full-throated full-walleted full bomb-giving support of the Gazan genocide and if asked would offer some version of "Israel has the right to defend itself"						⬆
Top Democrats Have Been Enabling Trump
"The Dem Party coverup of Biden's dementia should be one of the great political scandals of the 21st-c. They lied to their base about Biden for years, while running cover for his Gaza genocide, sealing Trump's victory. Rotten failures from top to bottom"
⬆	I agree with most of this, but they didn't fail - they still have their power and rank in their shitty party and reassured their donors of their sincere corrupt greed						⬇
"Periodic reminder that the media should stop treating the ADL like a legit civil rights organization or a group motivated by concerns of antisemitism. It quite clearly functions as an apologist for Israel and a purveyor of anti-Palestinian racism.
"AOC either flat out lied or was flat out lied to before the convention and if she expects any future in politics she needs to publicly state which was it. Either burn your sources or eat a big plate of shit, but she can’t just ignore this"
⬆	"If you think AOC is simply doing the best she can working within a rigged system, I think it's incumbent on you to consider what she, and by extension you, got in return for co-signing such a murderous lie at the DNC						⬆
I. Hate. Motherfucking. Democrats, but I *really* want to hit this corrupt complicit narcissitic and mega-icky shitsmear in the head with a garden shovel, once to off him, second time to celebrate
"You co-founded the group that invited Ben-Gvir to Yale"
Not Taking a Position on Gaza IS Taking a Position on Gaza
"They are having serious debates on Israeli TV as to whether newborn babies in Gaza are innocent or whether they should be killed"
"Yes, this is a heinous thing. But this EEOC investigation was actually started by Biden administration last summer, as one brief passage in the story makes clear. In this and so many other cases, Biden blazed a trail for Trump's turbo-charged weaponization of 'anti-semitism'"
"Agents' had no badges, refused to show warrant, then put him in unmarked van"
Sooner or later, dictators shut down the free press
"A president with a net worth of $4.1 billion employing an education secretary with a net worth of $3.2 billion to confiscate wages and social security from poor and working-class people for education debt is the epitome of America

I HATE

C.K. Williams

I hate how this unsummoned sigh-sound, sob-sound,

not sound really, feeling, sigh-feeling, sob-feeling,

keeps rising in me, rasping in me, not in its old disguise

as nostalgia, sweet crazed call of the blackbird;

not as remembrance, grief for so many gone,

nor either that other tangle of recall, regret   

for unredeemed wrongs, errors, omissions,

petrified roots too deep to ever excise;

a mingling rather, a melding, inextricable mesh   

of delight in astonishing being, of being in being,

with a fear of and fear for I can barely think what,

not non-existence, of self, loved ones, love;

not even war, fuck war, sighing for war,

sobbing for war, for no war, peace, surcease;

more than all that, some ground-sound, ground-note,   

sown in us now, that swells in us, all of us,   

echo of love we had, have, for world, for our world,

on which we seem finally mere swarm, mere deluge,

mere matter self-altered to tumult, to noise,

cacophonous blitz of destruction, despoilment,

din from which every emotion henceforth emerges,

and into which falters, slides, sinks, and subsides:

sigh-sound of lament, of remorse; sob-sound of rue,   

of, still, always, ever sadder and sadder sad joy.
