TFS 55 – Committing to the Noir; Propaganda; and ‘What is Education?’
A bit of a ramble on things mentioned in the title. If this leaves you bored I also just wrote a poem: https://fractaljournal.com/2020/05/14/the-long-thunder-poem/

More Bad Times Ahead?
One event that has sustained emotional resonance is that evening on the outskirts of Moscow. I was a kid of six or so. It was 1995ish and my mother and I were ferried to some bestial monument to Brutalism in a creme colored Soviet Era drandulet. As we approached the long low apartment complex shrouded…

TFS 39 – American Single Malts, Magic Evenings, and Exoplanets
Today I discuss the wonders of night-time cycling, whiskey, and space. Here are the articles I read from: http://whiskyadvocate.com/american-malt-whiskey/ https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/04/newly-found-exoplanet-may-be-the-most-similar-to-earth/ While I did fix the audio problem…(it’s now in stereo) I still dunno why I can’t get Premiere to export my pictures in the original resolution: Yes, I read from a script today for the…

TFS 36 – Why I Cycle, NYT Teaches us to Edit, and Huuge UFOs
LOL. Recorded this yesterday. Shoulda made my shitty guitar jam background music quieter. The title is essential the topic sequence. Yeeha. I dunno if I’m gonna be able to make another today. So, this may be all I have to offer till tommorow. Yardwork, plumbing woes, and more yardwork. BIG MOFOING UFOS – https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/04/giant-sized-ufos-in-the-skies/…

UPS Dirt Shirt, Muscovite Immunity, and the dangers of Suburbia
I’m marinating in grime from around the world every workday and they think giving me a surgical mask is gonna help. What probably helps more than anything is the fact that I swam in rivers that glowed green Fallout style as kid in 90’s Moscow. This suburban denial of death and risk is deadlier than…

Wanna info binge sum moar?
Ugh, it’s gonna be another chore laden day. While, I really think homeownership is one of the keys to liberty it’s also a huge pain in the ass. Especially as concerns labyrinthine beauracratic horrors associated therewith. In the interest of not going into another sterile spell here’s some links I’m poring over in case I…

To Mask or Not to Mask?
The CDC has gone schizo and now I’m wearing a surgical petri dish on my facehole. Here’s an article on the mask debate: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-airborne-go-outside-masks/609235/ First, the CDC said save masks for medical personel then on April 3rd Trump wanted us to gimp up Bane style. There’s a lot to unpack here, and this video isn’t…

TFS 34 – Pumpin the Plants, Berlin Gutmensch, and Dr. Cody
I teach my plants to think big and kick ass, discuss the resurgence of the stasi, and present a robust case for quarantine (with my own criticism) from Ron Unz.

and NOW they care about health or Should Walruses Vote
In my area, we’re still allowed outside so I went for a bike ride. Need it to help me fall asleep since I gotta get up at 4 am. Some fatty suburbanite hausfrau slapped her wrist at me and a tub of lard soccer dad in a minivan blared his horn. Moments later I saw…
