I’m allergic to glib. — a glib response inspired by the style of the playwright Bertoldt Brecht that foregrounds the apparatus of glibness used as a counter offensive weapon.
This is a 21st century technique derived from the of 20th century insult of introducing a landline interlocutor to your friend “click” and hanging up a phone rapidly terminating a conversation.
Because of the way we now communicate, “snark” is the “word play of choice”. And many people have become “keyboard commandos and combatants”.
Often a dismissive rejoinder is required to reply in as few characters as possible based on 21st century attention spans and mediums of choice like text or Twitter and Facebook.
“I’m allergic to glib” is a wonderful way to terminate an electronic conversation while simultaneously dismissing the “snark-er”.
Like most comebacks, ultimately, this will become overused (see speak to the hand); so, use it while it lasts.
The good news is that if one uses and studies the writings of Bertoldt Brecht ; then, the only limit to creatively generating Brecht-ian conversation rejoinders is individual creativity and wit.

I actually read hard copy books and stay away from electronic platforms like Facebook and Twitter because I’m allergic to glib.

Yep…that about covers it.
Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis along with any member of MAGA and The Freedom Caucus equals The Great White NOPE!. Who do I have to fuck to make these people disappear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

The Great White NOPE! — a term that applies primarily to people like former “Nice-President” Mike Pence and “white wading boot wearing” Ron DeSantis. Secondarily the term also applies to tapioca, tofu, and hospital produced rice pudding. What all of these have in common is that the leave a bad taste in your mouth and often cause gas!
Even the NRA booed Mike Pence; and, Republican surrogates are declaring Ron DeSantis unelectable outside of Florida because of the six week abortion law he just enacted.
DeSantis, when asked the location of the clitoris replied that it was located in the back of a woman’s throat proved himself to be a man of his generation who may have gotten his sex education from adult movies that were filmed in Florida.
FLORIDA PRIDE!!!!!!!!!
If “unelectable” or “un-electability” were a person, these two men would complete for the privilege of personifying these words.

Venue Shopping — The art of finding the perfect judge and municipality in which to force a pivotal court case designed to restrict the rights of “the many “ by “the few”.
This is currently the most popular political tactic used by “the old guard” to prevent the inevitability of America’s changing demographic realities.
Some say it is a reaction to Barack Obama having become a successful, two term, popular Black President of the United States; but, that would be like saying that at the heart of American culture there is an unstated racism.
Wait…that’s exactly what I’m saying.
Two places where Venue Shopping can be clearly seen in our border policies and in out treatment of women and the rights that they have — or don’t have — over their own bodies.
In the old days we didn’t say “venue shopping — which is kind of a disinfected boutique term, we used to say “THE FIX IS IN”.

The Day We Could Have Stopped It! —
Experts are warning AI could lead to human extinction. Are we taking it seriously enough?
On May 31st 2023 we could have stopped it. We knew we could have stopped it; but, we didn’t.
And, at some point “Skynet” will become “self aware”.
And while we’re at it, if we ever find any extraterrestrial life forms, we shouldn’t bring it onto a ship; or bring it to planet earth.
I’ve seen the movies. These things never end well.

And yet we persist in its development.

The Three C’s - The Three C’s are: clicks, clout, and cash.
Currently HATE sells better than SEX in America. Although the combination of HATE and SEX really sells.
Find a small group of people that can’t easily defend themselves; make them a scape goat in the 21st century American culture wars; attack them in as many arenas as possible; and, then solicit funds for your cause in every imaginable arena possible.
The HATE will get you “clicks” on your website; the CLICKS will get you “clout”and elevate your hatred in the arena of public discourse and social mediums; and, the CLOUT will earn you “cash” for your progrom.
Use the cash to by judges — especially in Supreme Courts — power, influence and friends in high places.
What could possibly go wrong?
This is how, for example, a few parents can ban thousands of books that they, surely, haven’t read.
And they don’t want anyone to read them. Why expand your mind and think? There are many people willing to tell you exactly what is right.
God help us all.
Every time we have lived a “movie” like this; the ending inevitably includes mass casualty events.
Maybe we should all read All of the books on every banned book list so we can learn exactly what they don’t want us to know.

You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss! — The is one of the most famous lines from the George Pellicanos / David Simon series The Wire. Originally spoken by Street King and “drug dealer robber” Omar Little to the drug gang hit man Roland “Wee-Bey” Brice after Brice unsuccessfully tries to collect the bounty on Omar’s head in an ambush.
After the Brice is wounded and his crew is killed, Omar leaves Wee-Bey conspicuously alive uttering the famous words:
“Yo Bey, the lesson here is: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!”
Amazingly years after The Wire series ran, this line is now being quoted verbatim by the American News Media in the general direction of lawmakers attempting to bring Donald J. Trump to justice.
I don’t know which is more paradoxical: hearing a White woman say this while affecting a Baltimore Black-cent; or, that this warning is being given to lawmakers about a former president of the United States.
Wow…now, y’all got the briefcase AND the gun.

I want to see Trump brought to justice and treated exactly like both Reality Winner and Jack Teixeira. But, words of wisdom to the Justice Department: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!
