On Writing, Brain Pause, Etc

Mostly to mention that it's time to play a bit of catch-up again, as a migraine run took me out. Summer and drought in full swing, but with rain coming, so soon there will be more time for writing and less hauling water up from the lake for the garden.

I don't seem to get writer's block, which is cool, but I definitely get *thud* on occasion, rising semi-human after a couple days to write down whatever the brain's hnorked itself on.

Got told I should sit down and write up the rest of a novel, which came as a surprise. Hadn't started a novel - the thing in reference was a short story - but I can see how it might be one if I look at it sideways and upside down through a tesseract.

Maybe will, maybe nope. Gotta do some painting before I jump on the time consuming doom.

Minnesota's far-left DFL Party revokes endorsement for Omar Fateh after 'substantial failures' found in nomination process [not the least of which is that it's a Somali bulbhead with a sub-Saharan i.q.]
thepostmillennial.com/minnesot…

According to the DFL’s investigation, the electronic voting system used at the convention was “substantially flawed.” The review found a 176-vote undercount on the first ballot and revealed that candidate DeWayne Davis was improperly removed from the contest. Other irregularities included the loss of a credentials book, an unsecured master check-in sheet, and unauthorized access to the digital spreadsheet used for delegate tracking.

The findings prompted the DFL to strip Fateh of his endorsement, setting up a high-profile contest in November between the progressive state senator and Frey, who has led the city since 2017.

The Stolen Children

"Amongst the worst things I have been exposed to as a Doctor of International Conflict Management is the abuse of children. I am not so naïve as to have forgotten that US Presidents have participated in human bondage, starting with George Washington, who “owned” at least 13 slaves; I know the institution is far from More

Remote Trigger
August 22, 2025

sweet spices get many names
memories entrapped unwilling
while we in fiber spider’s web
sit still o’er watered feet
our meat of self dissembling

claiming taste as prion

playing current favor, savoring
in flavorings of amnesty
tangs of chemistry unraveling
that we might in our slumber
again lay waste, a liquid fire

claiming chaste horizon

my waking speaks of thunder
little four-arm birds a whirring
we could again be anywhere
but here in the afters shudder
to field-sound gone quiet

Laurance Labadie’s “Anarchism and the Money Problem”
c4ss.org/content/60648

"Anarchism and the Money Problem In early times cooperation was limited to members of small groups such as the family and tribe. But due to the natural localization of different materials and capabilities for production and also because of the different potentialities of individuals, the desirability and need for a division of labor into industries..."

Understanding Inequality Across History

"Earlier this month, scholars working at the London School of Economics argued, “It’s time to face up to power in the debate about wealth inequality.” The authors note that of the various ways we could frame the problem of inequality, the framing that has most resonance with people “focuses on the problem of Unfair Influence. That is, it places the emphasis on how those at

>But in the spring of 1854, confidence was complete. The Guards were a magnificent body of fighting men as they marched through London to embark. The crowds which cheered them did not know that behind these splendid troops, the flower of the British Army, were no reserves. They were doomed to perish, and when they perished, their ranks were filled with raw recruits made "pretty perfect in drill in sixty days."
