Post Roe Rundown

I own this coin! PCGS slabbed, includes book, $1.2 million dollars.

Jotting down a few notes for this post-Roe world, the first item on the list being Roe v Wade — the absence of a period following “v” is intentional — USC Title 18 is my favorite book.

Roe v Wade has long been a Red Line between the Yanks and the Rebs, and this is not the deepest divide between the Union and the Second Confederacy — its first President will be its last, when the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans parachute in, a la “Red Dawn”.

Yes, it’s Civil War II, or Civil War III if you count the failed coup, and this time it will not be fought BETWEEN the states, so much as WITHIN the states, neighbor against neighbor, brother against sister, children against children.

Emerging from this conflict will be three separate countries — Atlantica, Pacifica and, in the middle, “Trumpland”, which will be immediately renamed after he passes, but the effect will be the same — unrelenting racism. anti-semitism, anti-socialism, anti-liberalism and, of course, mysogyny.

Note the root of the word “mysogyny” — it’s “gyne”, referring to the uterus, or womb. It’s men who are afraid of the womb, and rightly so, but both men and women are behind this bloodless coup staged by the Republicans, because many women are bound to a powerful and cruel religious belief system.

Boy, is it hot!!!

I’m bringing out a great WWIII fashion line — be there for it!

The temperature outside is over 100 degrees as we go into evening, and the wall thermometer in my bedroom reads “90 Degrees” — the air-conditioner seems to have crapped out.

So here I am at my desk in my office, where the air is somewhat cooler, but now I’m faced with the fact that I’m tired, but there’s nowhere to lie down where it’s cool.

You probably face a similar situation, if the temperature is abnormally hot tonight where you are, but none of this compares with the news tonight, that Roe was overturned.

That amounts to a declaration of war, and the division between red states and blue states can only be deepened. What that means for you is, prepare to try to avoid open conflict — at least try to stay away from the roving gangs and the inevitable storm troopers. Continue reading

Keep On Going

 

Yes, we’re in the earliest stages of a full-combat civil war, neighbor against neighbor, family against family and brother and sister against brother and sister, but that doesn’t mean you have the time to put on the brakes and get off the planet, and it surely doesn’t mean to go buy a blue or grey uniform, at least not right away.

First of all, it’s blue and red uniforms, like the teams — and secondly, the only war I’ve ever recommended is inside a computer gaming engine, like the Godd™ Engine, or the engine driving Diablo 2R or the one behind TF2.

Real shooting wars are stupid.

First of all, nothing is solved. At some point, negotiations are still necessary, and even dictators don’t always get their way.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I have, when my reflexes were a lot better than they are at the age of 80, challenged the top gamers to duels and matches, and have managed to secure the title of “Runner-Up” in a number of two-player games.

I’ve even played against Tokay and Thrush and other early gaming champions in Quake and Doom style arenas. Continue reading

Selling Your Virtual Sculpture

Back in the previous century, I was a sculptor working in bronze, acrylics, wood, glass and plaster, to create pieces that delved deeply into the mystique formulated by my sculpture teacher Renzo Fenci, at Otis Art Institute, where I studied sculpture and 3D art, as “a grouping of interpenetrating masses”, and that’s how I sculpt.

I take masses and cram them together, pass them through one another and in other ways distort and adapt, to create a finished product that is in fact a self-contained universe, similar to the one in which we now seem to live. Continue reading

He Wants to Kill Us All

Now do you see the resemblance? That’s Mussolini on the left.

It’s the same guy. He’s taken rebirth and he’s back again, to kill us all with insane glee. He’s dancing while Rome burns. He really wants to kill us all, and get away with it.

Killing one man on Fifth Avenue will no longer satisfy him.

He wants to make “do nothing” the national policy on covid, and he’s doing just that. Everyone who dies is contributing to the great nation of Trumpland.

On election eve, Trump is planning to activate the National Guard while invoking the Uprising Act, just as Hitler did and, just as Hitler made his move the night before election, Trump’s plan is to declare himself the winner, and invoke the Uprising Act to cover himself, and to destroy any opposition.

The Poll-Watchers will be heavily armed former military commandos, and the idea is to scare the Hell out of anyone who comes around there looking even slightly off-white.

He’s counting on his personal army — his street militia — to keep him in power, and they’re ready to go to war for him, to re-fight the Civil War, and to re-instate slavery as a way of Amerikan life.

Yes, slavery. No bullshit, and I’m NOT making this up or being in any way hysterical.

I mean Actual Slavery. Keeping slaves is an accepted theory of business, and a slave-based economy and slave-holding business practices are in use and are accepted in many countries around the world, including — now — Washington, D.C., the new capitol of the New World Order, the Slave-State of Trumpland.
