anti-natalism
I'm a docile, peaceful, empathetic cuss. This doesn't rule out misanthropy. Not mutually exclusive. People can be a pill. I don't condone violence of any kind, any reason. There was an asshole who bombed I forget where, on the news, an anti-natalist asshole, killing his own ass and damaging where ever the asshole parked. Sorry. Terrible thing. Asshole.
I am an anti-natalist. I believe people should have the common decency to stop having kids. The world is crowded and ugly. Overpopulated. Sick, sick, sick. Don't have kids. Do no harm. Just use judgment. Less people is better than more. But no violence.

A Guest Editorial
Hello everyone, friends, people I hope will become friends, people still harboring flailing concepts of friendship... I am a guest contributor to Bruce Reisner's blog. Thanks, Bruce, for this opportunity.
My name is Ogremass Smithschlager, and I am a recent immigrant to consciousness. Space is bullshit. Time is whatever it says on the clock. No one has to believe an appliance, or take any shit off of it. Time is shitty for its obsession with how long things take. Space is obstreperous for being occupied with common stupid jerks and rubbish. Yet there are nice things.
Cognition travels the way everyone wished Eurail worked. Free particulates and waves. Did you know that particles can whoosh over to their physician's office, and have a surgery that converts it to a wave? My thinking roves transient and not paying for shit. Let's get to weed.
Bruce Reisner, host of this ripsnorting blog, will have nothing to do with marijuana. He's a prude. I like the shit, and don't mind talking about it here, on Bruce's blog. My blog is none of anyone's fucking business, unless they are A-list personage. I don't let hoi-poloi read my blog. But that's a personal choice. Bruce thinks differently. He still plays the egalitarian card. Tut. A one-legged woman got on the elevator, and told me, off handedly, giddily, cheerfully, happily that she just smoked weed and was high as a Georgia pine.
I boarded on the eleventh floor, me dour and like I am. A nut job. Bruce has been very empathetic. He likes to help fucked up people. Nice guy. Going down, it stops, doors open and the lady in her modern lite wheel chair device boards. Being a helpful cuss I say, "what floor, mam?"
I'd never seen the woman smile before. We've been neighbors in subsidized highrise for seniors for two years now, and she's been one legged and dour every moment previous to this elevator going down. She started cracking jokes about elevators, elevator buttons, and I don't recall what else. The woman has a sense of humor. A lively, alert, genuinely comical sense of humor, and she was letting it go,no pretense, no harm, just a little good happy horseshit on the elevator going down. She was entertaining and blissful. High as a Georgia pine.
I'd never seen that most typically dour one-legged woman at all happy, and this time around she had smoked herself into happyville, and she let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. It was an inspiration. Bruce doesn't give a shit because he doesn't approve of drugs. He's a prude. No fun. But it's sure decent of his old ass to let me use his blog space to make my point. I don't let just anyone read my blog. But Bruce, he's egalitarian. Thanks for reading.

Wee-hoo my comrades, all of you! I'm an ass to do this another round, but I must needs to equate Trump's behavior these last hundred days with economist Milton Friedman's free market economic theories. I like Milton, even if the political left hates little Milton bad.
Friedman believed that in an unregulated free market, individuals are at liberty to compete for cash and prizes. Accordingly, income equality is complete BS, the spoiled mayonnaise of commie hopes. People act upon opportunity. People form relationships in mutual interest. It is believed that small business owners tend have mutual interest in sustaining peace, so as not be disrupted in their work. Friedman is best liked by libertarians who tend to believe big government is bad for business and bad for a free society. In this point, big government is acting as an authority. People must comply with the fed, and with regulatory agencies of all sort. Returning to Trump, less federal government could mean less interference in commerce. This point of view is common to the conservative right, understanding they are wealthy no matter how the fish fry.
Trump is reducing the scale of the federal government. I don't support any politicians. A US president is, to me, just another stupid prick. I didn't say Thomas Jefferson or Geo Washington were pricks, or douche bags. Bill Clinton did the prison industrial complex, mass incarcerating black people. One of the Bush fam said the Constitution was just a piece of paper, and did the Patriot Act. The Affordable Care Act was grotesque, and protects to this day the wealth and power of the medical establishment. Returning to whatever, the current downsizing of Fed Gov could be step one to a productive free market economy. With less regulation, and with less lobbying at the fed level.
I'm dragging Milton Friedman's economics through the garden in case anyone cares to equate what Trump does with what Milton discussed. If you feel this is stupid, you may be correct. One can hate a person and still admit the asshole is right about a goddam thing or three. And wrong about jesus fuck what else. Just equate Friedman's economics with what is happening now, and, that aside, have yourself a ball. Over and out, dear ones.

Sad thing about theories is they're usually wrong. That said, there's an old one about chaos. Dragging this idea through the garden, by inducing a state of chaos, say in the world economy, and the domestic one, too, individuals and organizations are forced to seek order from chaos. The tariff program might produce a crazy quilt of outcomes good and bad. The panic it is inducing, according to the theory, will force people to change the economy, culture, behavior, and whatever else is in the sauce. There may be an explanation for inducing chaos now.
For example, persons displaced in the government downsizing may be forced to seek work in other sectors of the economy. The need for money could drive people to invest in business and industry, as GOPs tend to believe will happen. The chaos theory, this time around could result in new directions in business and social politics. It might also induce a long, miserable recession. I just wanted to chunk out an outlying way of looking at what's up with the Fed. Thanks for reading.

Singing like a canary, I'm a voting democrat. Discussing the sense in conservative politics, and philosophy.
Lyrical as an ape playing a harp, Dem leaders have everyone in their camp opposing everything Trump does. It is a strategy of constant, total opposition to what Trump does, irrespective of merit or potential harm. Anything he does will have shitty outcomes in the mix. Dems are preventing positive outcomes by opposing blindly his every move.
Dems are forcing Trump to act autocratically. If they were able to support Trump selectively, they might establish productive working relationships hither/thither. And they might do well for dems and GOPs alike. The opposition strategy failed to stop the music during Trump's first presidency. It won't work this time either. Learn to fucking compromise and to conduct fair point by point analysis. Democracy can be restored. For now, enjoy the show.

Philosophy on the hoof. This is it. No political parties. No politicians. Assholes, all. What if people already achieved liberation from patriarchies, stereotypes, authorities, abusers, and fuck who knows else?
Then there wouldn't be any problem doing free speech. No one's rights and freedoms could be impinged upon. Everyone would be safe in their affected, imprinted and groomed sense of self.
Pardonez, sensitive people. This post is deliberately crude. It's art. An Art Form. Surely someone understands.

It's a ball buster being centrist, maybe worse for being formerly radical. Currently, with an authoritarian fed trending, I suggest Dems not do what they did the first time Trump was in. The obstruction and allegations, drama, resistance, the blind opposition to anything Republican only brought the trouble back in force. It would have been better to seek common ground with Republicans, to seek mutual understanding, seeing compromise, and best, healthy mutual interest.
It's what Dems need to be into now. Quit opposing and start inviting coalition.
I invented the term 'squatrain.' It means a new form of poetry that people aren't ready for yet. I write some of my stuff in squatrains.
Haiku in Four Squatrains:
Celebrity germs
Gestate in sparkling limos
Stardust infections
Racing in their Benz
Photographer’s motor bike
Trend setting crack up
Defenestration
Five syllables of falling
With help from a guest
Load will hit the ground
before whatever happened gets
pronounced correctly

Private sponsorship
...now that the federal government is downsizing, tax exempt arts organizations are probably next. It's seem for years that the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has been king. Maybe artists should ask, politely, that wealthy people support individual artists without the benefit of the tax exemption. Support artists who are not 401C3.

This is as good a time as any to fess up: Pam Bondi, Pete Hegseth, and Trump are all members of The Master Race. I think. Either formally or informally. Maybe they all attend conferences someplace superior to here, Pittsburgh, that is. That's fine with me, if that's the case. I am a low net worth senior citizen receiving social security and other social supports. My circumstances suck even if I'm mistaken about the leadership, and they really are dangerous fascists.
Damn it, I'm just as enthusiastic about eugenics as they are. People are in a cognitive and ethical downward trajectory. Hegseth could sell master race sperm for a fortune a pop. As soon as the DOGE eliminates the gestation period, Pete and Pam can turn out one USDA zygote per month. That's a lot of superieor human beings, and the SOBs are needed. Have you seen how fucked up it is downtown?

Hello dear friends, I'm a smiling antinatalist motherfucker. Literally. Done it. Antinatalism is a social movement that simply despises babies. Antinatalists believe the Earth is overpopulated to the point of pending extinction, but in the most immediate way, the quality of life is a disaster as too many people compete for everything while being a neurotic slave to the system.
Stop having babies. Let the Earth get it's shit together. Flower power. Sex. No babies. Abortions, you betcha'. Ligations, heck yes. Pills that make Mr. Happy hard, you betcha'.
I also favor mass lobotomies for violent criminals. Saves jail space. Nuthouse confinements, less. Peace. Tranquility. People who don't suck will be all the better. Thanks for reading.

Far fucking out the United States is polymorphous. What might have been an inclusive, broad minded and humane two party system, Dems and GOPs, has wormed shape and form, weight and viscosity. If the country was a person, it would be the Elephant Man. With a complex of mental problems. And no ability to strategize. People became exclusively one dimensional paper cutouts.
Liberal Democrats morphed into wealthy oligarchs, politicians stock traders, lawyers, and fuck whatever else shitty people become as they get rich and powerful. The GOP was already like that. I could ralf. Thanks for reading.

Poem: Clamming Up For Everything
Clamming Up For Everything
I
mouse on cotton
traipse the rug
eleventh floor
noiseless the way wire coils drink undertones
when insulated
quiet musicians are mice on cotton
quiet boors on thorazine neglect to obstruct performance
the relatively sane free market
is allowed to gavotte to the right of bankruptcy
here comes a flat top and there's money in it
Soon people go broke and despair
they get loud
not like a mouse on cotton
or a boor on hypnotic drugs
they squawk like chickens

Oooh-weee baby, lets talk medicine. Ear infection. I know. Call a doctor, you stupid moron, I suspect people are thinking, but I was concerned about what it might cost to get professional help. My ear hurt. I was getting a wee bit of what I fucking hope was blood on the end of a cotton swab when I tried to clean out what is probably an infected ear canal, like the Russians invaded by submarine through a subversive capillary. I felt concern and discomfort. I pondered what to do, then was edified from within and googled the sentence "is it safe to shove antibiotic cream in your ear if you think it's infected?"
I want in the worst way to share the tiny joys that bliss my dreary fourth quarter existence, retired, what ever else shit existentialism pervades. In seconds the answer unscrambled a kind loving radiant big breasted, "Yes, it is safe to use antibiotic cream to treat your cheapskate loser medical problem. Assholes everywhere, ones too cheap and unsuccessful to see a professional, get lovely results by squirting budget brand cream in their ear. Stick the nozzle in deep, motherfucker!"
So great to receive affirmation! I unpackaged the dollar store generic tube of fester shit. Shoved the nozzle in up to the hilt, like it was John C Holmes, and squeezed the healing ooze right where it it was wanted, in that goddam pustule, a festered zit with the temerity to lodge itself in my beautiful inner ear. Fuck that jive ass bullshit. I am in recovery.
No shit, this is the zillionth time a product I bought at a dollar store fixed a medical problem. Call this weenie wagging, I like to remind the medical establishment, where possible, that common stupid peons have managed without the help of greedy health care conglomerates. I can follow simple instructions, like shove antibiotic shit in your ear, and sleep off whatever else happened. Thanks for reading.

Yours truly, me, does not support any political candidate. Voting Dem for life, this does not mean I agree with jack shit anyone does, in Washington DC or Anywhere EBF. I don't vote GOP. This post is about changing grass roots politics, adopting a non-partisan, critical thinking wait-and-see position in regard to the tariff program. In this shit heap, the simple aspect of applying the tariffs heaves it's hairy fat cakes onto the exponential complexities of long and short term consequences. No one knows what will happen, not sooner, not later. Shit will be going down. I advise against taking aggressive action against the tariff program, as it could fuck up the US economy worse than status quo. There will be both good and shitty results, the best option is to monitor the news daily, document what is happening, talk about it, but don't do too fucking much else. Thanks for reading. More shit is coming down the trough.

Yours truly is a voting centrist Democrat. Formerly leftist. Currently libertarian, but allowing for the corporate/government power base. Limited, regulated free markets might be an objective.
It's been a mixed free market and social economy for a long time. Tax exempt business trended all over creation, most especially as private sector corporate downsizing put executives out of work during the 1970s, 80s and 90s. That's a lot of public cash flow. So many people rely on the welfare state in one way or other. This is a huge demographic, and though the individuals are penniless or poor, huge amounts of money is transfered from health care agencies and funders as poor people get and stay sick. Sick oldsters are keeping the medical establishment wealthy.
That's some blather. I'l think up more dookie soon, and post here.

Wooly Bully, dear readers! I worship the novelty rock band Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.
Wooly Bully! Pittsburgh's own Andy Warhol empowered the young artist, Basquiat, privately, by taking the young Black artist on as a protege in Warhol's community of great talented weirdos. In so doing,Warhol did his own private version of DEI. This is mentioned here because the Fed is talking about wiping federally backed DEI off the slate. Makes sense for progressive individuals to consider the libertarian view that all DEI agendas can be achieved, funded privately by individuals and businesses.
In the same way a sporting goods supplier can sponsor a little league baseball team, an abortion clinic can sponsor all reproductive services feminists are demanding. The force of supply and demand in a free market, statist America. What if things aren't as all fucked up as it seems?

To the best of assholing abilities I have been neutral and relatively disinterested in presidential politics aside from a gentleman's interest in the evening news. Centrist Democrat. Pro civil rights, always and forever, as if that matters a great hairy load. Doesn't. I've carped before about libertarian philosophy, and that as the Fed weasels boldly out of DEI, individuals can countervail this by earning money in the free markets and using it to support DEI privately. Too, voters can concentrate on DEI goals at state and city level, sustaining coctact with state reps and mayors, city council, the news. The Fed is going out of business.

I am a substandard-ass MF. Low net worth. Flying at a fraction of industry standard costs. Is this commendable? Environmental? You should see me in my Rhine stone John Fucking Muir hat. Not that I'm invited to the Sierra Club billion dollar a plate chow down orgies. The Clinton Foundation put me on their assholes list. The Dalai Lama told me to fuck myself. He has more important people to hang out with, like former Mayor Bill Peduto.
Doofus' , plural, (how does one pluralize 'doofus?') have/has been producing good quality news and entertainment on the youtube platform. Are these doofs not substandard? Is their budget not duck shit compared to CBS and NBC? The operating budget here, me, mine, is less than duck shit. I work on a budget of mere guano. Droppings. Tiny portions of bird shit.
Is there honor in being dirt poor? In hacking out news and info, whatever that dog shit may be? Or is it oligarchs only? Do peons matter? Did poor people ever matter? Thanks for pondering along.
