I was hoping to consolidate my blogs into one blog, but I've gone the other way, I think blogs need specifics. So I'm converting this blog to just literature, no politics. Reflecting on politics does not leads to happiness. I do think it's a good developmental swerve to articulate and learn more for a while. And I'm still going to pay attention. I don't need to write any more about politics. I was encouraged when my friend liked my medium essays. I quit medium because they wanted me to pay to read others. I'm not into paying. I trundled along because I liked thinking about politics and putting it all together in my head. I don't think it matters to put it all together. Making connections doesn't really improve the world, it makes me feel more bleak. I understand political apathy, but that's not what I'm going for. I'm just not going to use my mind to write this way any more. Still going to be an informed voter.

I looked at my blogs, to see what my most popular posts were:

Food: Buffalo Cauliflower.

Cultural Comment: Sheog

Sports: Kaka spoils NYCFC coming out party.

Motley Kamuka: Book Review: The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet

Buddhism: Interesting?

Shakespeare: Traffic In Women by Gayle Rubin

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...
