    I heard from this morning about why my work was erased from The Modernist Review. There were “concerns” about my “public profile.” Public profile? The letter reeks of B.S. — it’s a sad sign of the times.

    Also, for the record, I liked the yoga tweet better than the previous day's strobe-light nightmare that was like someone throwing up a bottle of Flintstones vitamins on my computer screen

    this takes me back to 1991, when Charles Barkley complained that he was "misquoted" .... in his own autobiography

    It's always fascinating to observe how people fall into cults & how they find their way out. Two followers of Franklin Jones tried to translate his mantras into another language--upon reading the translated mantras they realised they were complete BS

    What a catastrophe for the environment. If you factor in all the *indirect* negative effects of the Fukushima disaster (i.e. countries abandoning nukes and building dozens of coal plants instead) it will end up being far greater than Chernobyl...

    solid piece by plus this great still-frame microcosm of the folks who lose their mind when feminists take the mic L to R: 1. Middle age guy: I'm relevant! 2. Confused Wayne's World dude 3. Glam-girl camera hound 4. Antifa trainee

    Pretty good article on here by , by the way .... although it's not entirely clear if the woman is playing Power Grid with all three power plants, if you catch my drift. Some of her pronouncements are other-planet bonzo

    That said, if you buy me a buddy burger at A&W, I will gladly tell you how goyish you are.

    paying $2500 to have 2 women come to your house to tell you how racist you are is pretty batty. weirder still: one of the women is , who isn't sure if she's white or not, & says that going to spin class is equivalent to being in the KKK

    & to repeat a point I just made on 's radio show....what we call a "gaffe" is often just a politician speaking his mind. when he "back-pedals," it's bcuz he got a call from PMO. so what we're criticizing is the honesty (in this case, an honestly dumb policy, but still)

    lots of folks giving grief for "back-pedalling." But why? He made a stupid, & now he's pouring anti-stupid on it. That's good! I *applaud* govts "walking back" their stupids. New topic: Why does he try to look like everyone's middle-school science teacher from 1985?

    read the letter. reeks of the lawyered de-haut-en-bas commercial snobbery I saw in the 90s, when I was a lawyer representing banks & REITs. That is what these artists & poets have become: more reactionary, risk-averse & ass-protecting than the ppl in suits & ties

    . offers a microcosm of institutional cowardice in the arts: 1. MR publishes poem 2. MR gets complaint from someone recycling debunked allegations by 3. MR deletes poem, but refuses to tell why 4. After days of ridicule, MR sends BS letter

    The key is to avoid extremists. This includes (a) those who deny the reality of gender dysphoria (It's real. I've interviewed numerous people who are afflicted by it), and (b) anyone who treats it as a mystical spiritual force that must be "affirmed" in all cases & at all costs

    I'm pretty sure I talked about this with on the broadcast today, though the conversation had a decidedly dreamlike quality. Will also be discussing it with and other stations this afternoon

    In some cases, drugs (& even surgery) do seem appropriate as a means to palliate the symptoms of gender dysphoria. But available longitudinal studies indicate desistance in most cases, with dysphoria presenting as an artifact of autism, family trauma, depression, peer effects etc
