"My Summer Reading"

Looks like "Puff", and "Spot" didn't make it.
Powerful Enemies.
Never owe the Mob money.

"Just Super"

DC this October is issuing a new series. "Superman Smashes the Klan". Just in time I'd say, ...time 'ol Sup did something.
Maybe he'll take on the Nazi militias as well.
"Still Nine Hundred Ninety Nine cents??!!!"
Hey I remember .10 cents. Sup should take on the Comics industry next!!
I hear you ask, "...but gee Uncle Sid. Don't you believe in free expression? Why are you hard on them Nazis, and the Klan?" To which I say, "...because they want to kill me."

"Romani Victores"

Speaking of small town Cops around the country getting powerful Army surplus.
Apparently a New Jersey Roman Legion re-enactors club was given vintage jeeps, and trucks with mounted .50 cal machine guns.
Seems the Army surplus guys thought they were the town police. 

The Legionnaires really like them! They later requested vintage "Sherman's" or "Patton's" that the Feds might want to unload.
...heck wouldn't mind one of these myself.

"Yeah we Went"


50 years ago we sent a couple of guys to the Moon.
Cool that.


Speaking of the Universe. I  was watching that footage of the Chinese rover on the far-side of the moon. ...See below. 
Btw a Chinese space agency wonk said that the next one will land near, and drive over to the Apollo 11 landing site. 

This to pay homage. Also to shut the moon landing deniers the fuck up finally. It got loads of laughs at the Chi-Com politburo meeting this took place at. I had a chuckle myself, and hope they do it.

Anyway back to my bedroom Thermal Shelter. 

You folks stay cool.


"Good News",...and a nightmare


Greetings comrades I bring good news! Yes the rumors are true. It's going to be 106 to 112f for the next three days! Actually only about 100 to 102f. The rest is the effect on your body when adding in the humidity. In other words the weather is now fatal.

The Darwin Award solution will take effect for assorted health nuts that will insist on jogging, and exercising in direct sunlight for the next few days. The down side little kids, and elders...like me could drop dead if we ain't careful.

Anyone in da States reading this anywhere east of the Mississippi take heed. A third of the country is in the red zone. As the climate continues to go nuts expect years of this to come. 

The upside here is unlike the West Coast Canada, and Alaska we don't have dense forests to dry out, and burn up. We fucking cut them all down for bullshit over the last 200 years.


Meanwhile I stay in my Thermal Shelter watching old DVDs of movies, and TV shows...and having nightmares. I had a Concentration Camp dream. It had all the usual suspects. Jews Fags Niggahs. No Hispanics,...maybe tonight's dream.

We were in long lines slowly shuffling into the place. We each had a clear plastic box with our papers, and various personal items in. These were closely examined by bored administrators. 

I heard screams.

Horrifying screams.  As some nightmares do it kept going. I'd wake up it stops,...I fall back to sleep it picked up where it left off. 
Such was my night.

No this was not an Internment Camp. 

Those of the kind now socially acceptable. Amazing how fast that happened. One day such a thing is a horror. A few news cycles later it's fine,...just like summer camp.

Ya notice how #45's fans make the big deal that they approve of putting "Brown" kids in "Internment" camps.
They always make the point when asked on the news that these are not the kind with the gas, and the ovens. So they think this makes it okay. 

There will be an accounting of this era one day. 

No nightmare lasts forever. Mine ended. We will awake from this see what was done,...by who, and why. Also who supported it with cheers, and who just looked the other way eating pizza, and playing computer games.

Damn this country to Hell.

Because unlike so many others it 'knows' better.

"Hot Shit"


Well it's going to be hotter than a firecracker up Satan's Butt for next few days. It's already insanely hot, and humid. Only now it gets life threatening. Three days of 100f degree temps with humidity to match starts tomorrow.

This may be the peak of the summer heat this year,...I fucking hope!

What with my digs mostly no longer air conditioned. This thanks to the NYFD. Damned inspector made me remove my main unit,...from a fire exit window. 

Seems I get to burn up after all.

Anyway I've been in my refrigerated bedroom hibernating through most of the summer. Sleeping reading writing, and watching DVDs of old movie favs, and TV series. 
I've hacked my way through several seasons of Dr. Who so far. All of the "Ring" trilogy, and extras like the "Hobbit" plus lots of Sci/Fi..."Gravity" next when I log off here.

I was just out. Buying a bag of ice plus seltzer, and diet Pepsi. All sugarless. I'm mostly okay in the losing limbs dept. lately. No swelling for a few months less pain no fevers either. So the meds are working for now. Seem I'm not dying as fast as I was.

As for the rest of the world. 

Everybody is murdering everybody else as fast as it can be arraigned. #45 is in some sort of school yard brawl with some commie Congress women. #45's crowd chanted hateful racist shit about it at one of his Bund rallies in support of that. 

So no change there.

Out in the universe was watching that footage of the Chinese rover on the far-side of the moon. Btw a Chinese space agency wonk said that the next one will land near, and drive over to the Apollo 11 landing site. 

This to pay homage. Also to shut the moon landing deniers the fuck up finally. It got loads of laughs at the Chi-Com politburo meeting this took place at. I had a chuckle myself, and hope they do it.

Anyway back to my bedroom Thermal Shelter. 

You folks stay cool.


"I love Company"


An Evangelical couple knocked on my door last Sunday. How they got into the building I don't know. I was polite, and didn't ask. They were looking for converts. Much as their pals the Jehovah Witnesses.

I'm always polite when folks come to visit. The only folks I see are the social workers the City sends to make sure elders like me are still alive, and not living in some sort of hoarder's hell.

My place is the opposite,...very Zen.

Anyway I let's them in we sit, and they try to save me from Satan grasp. I tell them it's far too late for that. Also as to how Lucifer was Yahweh's boyfriend, and they still have a kind of thing going on. 

I think I confused them. 

Anyway I love chatting theologies with the faithful. Always have since I was a kid. I pissed my folks off by letting them Witness nutters in. So I goes on about how all them bronze/iron age Mediterranean myths were so much alike. That, and how Christians took on so many elements of them.

Confused looks.

This wasn't going that way it usually does for them. I warmed to my subject. ...A waited for savior born of a virgin that from the Greeks. Divine interventions, and winged animals, and people...angels. This from the Persians. 
Basically Comparative Religions 101,...which these folks never took or perhaps heard of.

We had a nice back, and forth. 

They said as to how Satan had confused me with false texts, and science. I asked if they knew what the scientific method was. Blank stares. I mentioned the car they drive in, and the lights they just read scripture by, and the printing press the scripture was made with came from that. ...Blank.

We went on to personalities in the Bible. 

They favored a few that proved that gawd wanted males to dominate women all that. I mentioned that was a tradition of desert peoples where most of our religious myths come from. 
Also the many sources for these guys. That they were never one person. That like Moses these folks were an ancient conglomeration of many prophets god's kings stories all that. 

Horror...actual horror came across the face of my older guest.

I took their comic books, and thanked them, and invited them to visit again. They said that science had confused me, and they'd pray for me.

Actually that was very nice. Prayers are at heart positive affirmations. Their comic books were cute as well. Full of visions of heaven. Sort of like Disneyland without the mouse. 

They left, and I went back to watching "Predator".

"A Day in the Life"



I visited old friends yesterday. 
We sat discussed the madness of the world. The nature of Black Holes. Told tales of science fiction fandom. Of which we are all gleeful members. Then had a swell Chinese take out meal.
Of such are the pleasant moments of life. 

All was well.

"Storm"




What is History?
Laurie Anderson answered this many years ago.
Lyrics for some of the video below.

*

"History is an Angel being blown backwards into the future."
History is a pile of debris
And the Angel wants to go back, and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there's a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the Angel backwards into the future
"And this storm this storm is called Progress"

"Oh to be Young, and Queer", at the Beach

Saints Burroughs Ginsberg, and Bey would understand.
Patty Smith would, and did get it too.


"~\A/~"


Summer in America.

"Fuck!!!"


The National Weather Service today announced that after Friday July 19, 2019 at 11:48am. After this date, and time there will be no more weather. At least none as we currently understand it. This being because of our coming encounter with the Black Hole "Wolf 359".
Black holes as most know are profoundly mysterious. A feature of their nature is that they can appear anywhere at anytime. This some astro-physicists belatedly say may explain some aspects of Dark Matter.
Not that this matters now,...so to speak.
The outer Event Horizon of Wolf 359 will touch down 250km off the coast of California, and move with the rotation of the Earth westward. Boiling the seas in front of it as it goes. Behind this the earth possibly to a depth of 50 miles will be stripped into the Hole. Some think to the core as the earth itself is devoured whole.
In front of the event wave the boiling ocean will slowly scald all life slowly to death. There is no possible shelter. This will take a full earthly rotation to complete. So 24 hours from the initial contact the world will be no more.
If the surface is stripped to the 50 miles anticipated it's possible that within two to three billion years the planet will "heal".
Though it would not be an "Earth" we would recognize. Some scientists project that it would be closer to the current "Mars"with a possibly lighter atmosphere. That some kind of life 'may' re-evolve this is unlikely.
As for reactions to this sudden interesting news President Trump says he will go France. They do parades so well. He also just resigned. "Fuck this shit. I did it on a dare anyway"
The new President is Slone Gibson the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and 17th in line of succession. The rest had other plans. The President has announced a "National Block Party" to begin at 9am Monday, and to last till the consumption of the earth.
The party will be funded by the National Treasury.
"Basically all the material needs, and wants of the American people will be met. "Of course" said the new President, "...we could have been doing this all along, but the evil shits that ran things thought you were no better than slaves so treated you accordingly."
The new, and now very popular President also opened our national secret archives for both scholars, and the curious to examine. Turns out them UFO guys are real. Their recent disappearance no doubt linked to the approach of "Wolf 359". It btw was in humor named after an episode in the "Star Trek" mythology.
Also yes as assumed it was a combination of wealthy elites business interests the intelligence community of this, and other nations that killed the Kennedy brothers as well as Dr. MLK. Cures for most kinds of cancers were found in the mid-1980's but kept from the population for economic reasons. The wealthy elites of course has access to them.
This, free tuition free lunch, and flying cars jet packs for real 3D-TV hyper-quantum internet have been in existence for 20 years, but were also kept from the world. With the exception of the elites, and military.
The reaction from the religious leaders of the world was predictable. The Dali Lama is reported to have said, "...I told you so" Pope Francis, "...and you deserve every bit of it you selfish greedy shits!". Also that guy on the "700 Club" wept into the camera, "...'The Fuck?!!"
Locally obscure blogger collage artist, and even more obscure former radio personality Uncle Sidney was rather at ease with the whole thing. Uncle on hearing of the coming weird, and rather painful end of the world revealed himself as a minor member of the Angelic realm.
"I was in lower middle management" said Uncle.
"I finally pissed off enough bosses to get sent to earth as a clerk. My job was cataloging comic books, and really bad novels." "Btw" Uncle went on. "This shit is not just the end of you guys down here."
"All of the human made religions, and gawds are toast. This includes their spiritual bureaucracies as well."
Uncle mused, "Sorry, but that whole Abraham thing from which us Angels came was sort of made up. However with so much human energy poured into it for so long it became,...well sort of real. Hard to explain. Anyway when humanity goes the energy goes with it goes. So all your heavens hells or whatever is toast on Tuesday along with everything else around here.
Me I'm taking president what's his name's offer to get neat stuff. I gots my eye on a hot pink 1956 "Thunderbird",...ya know with that little "porthole"? Yeah that if they can find one in time.
However all may not be lost,...Uncle goes on.
"Um,...I must say at this point. I mean still having a bit of connection with all that spirit jazz."
"Nothing may happen."
"The Ultra-verse is weird. Ya know like that big Blizzard we were supposed to get here in NYC the other winter. At literally the 'last' moment it went north, and we got drizzle instead."
"Well "Wolf 359" may well do the same, and disappear back into whatever dark matter corner it came from. Just saying."
"Also Trump may want his job back."
More on this developing story as events warrant.
