Subtitle: Worst-thoughts on Gore Vidal’s Washington, D.C. A few months back, dear worst-reader, while pondering Gore Vidal’s work, I took the liberty of reminding my sister that she should start reading Narratives of Empire. I’ve been ranting and raving about Gore Vidal to her for years. I’ve now read five of the seven books of … Continue reading Gore Vidal’s Least Political?

Burn Baby Burn
Source: see link below Anybody surprised, dear worst-reader? I didn’t think so. Then again, how long can worst-writer entertain himself with $hits & giggles while his beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant dwindles underneath the limp-Schwanz that is generation upon generation #okboomer that has given rise to former president pee-pee-hair? Then again again, there … Continue reading Burn Baby Burn
It’s happened before before
It’s one of those books I’m afraid to finish, dear worst-reader. The Origins of Totalitarianism. Yet I chug on. In the bathtub. Under cover in the rain walking Beckett the killer pug. Yet. After a spat w/ the feminine this evening I thought it time. And then there’s all the here and there (that comes … Continue reading It’s happened before before
Dead Languages, Undying Sovereign Worship
Worst book review: The Writing of the Gods It’s been a long time (twenty years), dear worst-reader, since I last visited the British Museum. Among its various treasures are two things that have always stood out for worst-moi from all-things stolen in the name of colonialism and monarchial bull$hit galore. The first was having … Continue reading Dead Languages, Undying Sovereign Worship
Worst-Heilfasten And Herbal Tee, Baby
The Fasten regiment. Don’t you know, dear worst-reader, I just finished my second fasting session. The first fasting was at the beginning of October last year. It was followed by a low-carb diet. I finished the second fasting Saturday. I’m now back on low-carbs. Result? I’m down forty-plus pounds. At five feet ten, approaching sixty … Continue reading Worst-Heilfasten And Herbal Tee, Baby

Taking a break. Major break. Rant on. -T
What Does Freedom (Actually) Mean?
Freedom = my WHO vaccine passport and most recent ersatz card. The meaning of freedom, dear worst-reader? In these times the answer depends on who you are asking. If you're asking a slave what freedom is, the answer should be obvious. Just give that a try with #Americants. If you're asking a sick covid patient, … Continue reading What Does Freedom (Actually) Mean?
What Is The Origin Of Science Denialism?
This is a screenshot of a tweet because embeds and URLs work like $hit in wordpress. Why? Oh why? After reading the linked article, worst-writer concluded that he has a gripe with what's being said. That gripe, don't you know, has to do with the claim that the tobacco industry created modern science denialism. Although … Continue reading What Is The Origin Of Science Denialism?

The Crypto Game Show
Source of pic: Bitcoin logo Why am I surprised, dear worst-reader? Did I believe that Bitcoin was impenetrable? Did I think that the government or authorities would never crack the kryptonite--that could take down the likes of Bitcoin? Or did I simply think, ultimately, Government doesn't really care--if there may or may not be some … Continue reading The Crypto Game Show
The End Of The Illusions
“The success of totalitarian movements among the masses meant the end of two illusions of democratically ruled countries in general and of European nation states and their party systems in particular. The first was at the people in it’s majority had taken an active part in the government and that each individual was in sympathy … Continue reading The End Of The Illusions
Why Origin Don’t Matter
Source of pic: wiki What's with the who-ha about the origin of the covid? I mean (1), what difference will it make after a year and a half of quarantine, lockdowns, (almost) safe distancing, etc., if/when they find out where this whole thing started? I mean (2), if it did originate in a lab will … Continue reading Why Origin Don’t Matter
Scamerica

When was the last time I was here prior to May 9th, 2021? Well, there was a short kinda emergency visit in November 2019. What a mess that was. … Continue reading Scamerica
Jab 2 Done, Vaccinated
It takes another two weeks for the vaccine to do its full job, dear worst-reader. But at least I can say I got both shots as of today. And how proud, thankful, grateful I am to be able to get vaccinated. In fact, I'm so tickled, I'm thinking of getting an image of the corona … Continue reading Jab 2 Done, Vaccinated
How Creativity Dies The Slow Death
Source of pic: screenshot from the interwebnets Worst-writer can remember his first confrontation with a movie sequel. It was Superman. Then came Star Wars. If you don't know, dear worst-reader, I'm worst-writing here from the POV of movies from the 1970s. Soon after that, the 1980s, the movie sequel would become the norm. But then, … Continue reading How Creativity Dies The Slow Death
Faux Newz Blood & Guts Worn On Your Emotion Sleeve
Yet another newz article that makes worst-writer think about #Americant elitism (which means you're not like us), white privilege (which means white people are incapable of coping with their status in society, especially the lower white classes) and affluenza (which means rich people think they can get away with murder because, well, they're rich). And … Continue reading Faux Newz Blood & Guts Worn On Your Emotion Sleeve
Slippery Slope Stupid
As a child of the Cold War and, at the time, old enough to have a grasp of what went on in Vietnam in the late 60s and early 70s, #Americant dogmatised me to fear two political enemies. The first, of course, is the former Soviet Union, now Putin's pseudo-reich. By the end of the … Continue reading Slippery Slope Stupid
Up Is Down, Black Is White
This is a #Interwebnet screenshot Where does #Americant go from here? Well, let's have a look at where it's been--since Ronald Dip$hit Reagan started the $hitshow that can only culminate in former prez piss-hair, aka Cheeto-jesus. Let's start with a few words. The newspeak words. Right to workinverse use of language; a draconian law that … Continue reading Up Is Down, Black Is White
Sympathy For The Devil? No Thank You

Transubstantiation Wit In Times Of Covid
As you may or may not have noticed, dear worst-reader, I'm visiting my family in times of Covid. Reason? Well, I'm not quite uncomfortable enough to say exactly why I'm here.

Is You Stupid, How Much?
We can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany.-MTG rhetoric trying to defend NOT wearing a mask or getting vaccinated Get a load of this, dear worst-reader. Of course, this ain't the first time mindless and anti-intellectual conservatives … Continue reading Is You Stupid, How Much?
Secede Already, Take Texas With You
It boils down, basically, to two parts hating each other. It's also about someone, some group, organisations, etc., stoking that hate. Does anyone question how two parts (of the same coin) could let it get this far? I mean. What is the result of literally decimating a country's manufacturing base--since the end of WW2? Decimating … Continue reading Secede Already, Take Texas With You
No Neutral
Screenshot from the #Interwebnets What's the scariest thing about returning to the place you had to leave (thirty five years ago) on account that place was turning bat$hit crazy faster than a QAnon theory-conspiracist can scream the earth is flat? In other worst-words, can you up the ante on bat$hit crazy? No? Yes? Indeed. But … Continue reading No Neutral
