Behavior

Posted on August 2, 2020 by sputterpub

I know the media exaggerate the odd and shocking, but what is this shit about barbaric acts of public hate involving women who decide to spit at people? Words like “inappropriate” fall short, describing assholes lacking qualms. While right-wing women … Continue reading →

Optics

Posted on July 31, 2020 by sputterpub

Chicago riots, 1968, made optics the conservatives could use. Though catalyzed when cops provoked the hate, it looked like mobs and looters on the news. Police deceived like Trump; they always claimed “resisting” or “combative” as they framed the kids, … Continue reading →

Oxygen

Posted on July 30, 2020 by sputterpub

I recognize a cultural motif concerning breathing. Millions have awoke to knees-on-necks and choke holds, and the grief of systematic bias. Victims spoke forever who were muzzled and unheard, now constrained to orate through a mask. Compromised by virus or … Continue reading →

Not Nearly November

Posted on July 27, 2020 by sputterpub

Some thought Coronavirus was a flu like those we knew, and bound to hibernate when our humidity and warming grew, but summer’s here and illness won’t abate. The optimists assert it’s like a cold, and though our URI’s are not … Continue reading →

Say Which?

Posted on July 24, 2020 by sputterpub

Generating

Posted on July 18, 2020 by sputterpub

Stunned (HA 111 Dactyls)

Posted on July 6, 2020 by sputterpub

Isn’t it stunning, how stupid he is? Ignorance married to bad attitude, fully incapable – losing at biz, only exampling how to be crude. Isn’t it stunning, how dreadful they are? Failing to dump him, not even for us, acting … Continue reading →
