My back is stiff and i'm afraid to move. After talking with Lala about my morning stretches. I was doing fine for so long. Brian said somebody said You just have to keep your head to the grindstone. What a thought. Anyway I suppose I brought this on and now I just have to try to relax and keep moving, but I don't think I'll be climbing on a ladder to change ceiling light bulbs, not today. And I gotta lasso crazy Lulu and pray.

 If the Zionists had returned to the empty land of their ancestors, the question of a "right to exist" would never have surfaced.

Benjamin Moser

Anti-Zionism

 I don't understand what's happening, but I won't stop studying. I read that Anti-Zionism came with Zionism, before the fabrication of Israel. I read that Hitler wrote about " a great movement called Zionism" in Mein Kampf.

This is the last anti-colonial battle in the world. The last big one.

The commonest way of not seeing is to ask for more context. The situation is said to be complicated, the history long, the responsibility shared.

i'd like to hear what they say when i'm gone, but perhaps it's better this way.

 i got the spooky feeling again. i still like to get spooky sometimes, but now to be honest it never quite goes away. 

Well, it was here before and it's here after and it's still going on.

 

 

i got a spooky feeling today. i heard i'll be home for xmas blaring in the alley behind the frat houses. the frat houses looked like after a long long party, with an air of abandonment, all trashed and overgrown. 

 Requiem for Gaza. Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco. It's probably at your local library. Three years into the genocide Israel is terraforming the pulverized life of Gaza. 

 

 the air is bad this morning smoky pollution making me sneeze. the world is terrifying.

 

 The greater genocide regime is trying to dominate the planet like a bloody zionist graveyard disneyland.

 Music of the day, The Silent Years, by Silence.

I remember in the documentary Traces of Home, the old father returning to Palestine he left at 4 years of age, in the Nakba, 1948. He says he doesn't remember anything, then as he walks through the stolen village where he was born, he remembers. They find his house and the young Israeli comes out to say But it's politics of the past. There was a war, we won, sorry. Have a peaceful Shabbat.

It's the politics of the past, it keeps happening. 

 

 In 2016, while president of the genocidal entity U.S., he committed 38 billion to the genocidal entity Israel. Ten years later, as a member of the global billionaire class, he said the genocidal entity Israel was "excessive". With greed and hatred, the empire advances toward its incorrigible self-destruction. 

 What about predatory capitalism? Neoliberalism? What about denialism? Fascism? What about genocide? That's what it's about. Dashed hopes. Rules for Radicals in the bait and switch Hope & Change gift shop. 

I will try not to be overwhelmed by the destruction of the living world. I'll try to find that peace that passeth understanding. Entropy measures the system's disorder. It's beyond us now. In solidarity and fondest hope.

 so many birds died last night in chicago, colliding with glass that looks like sky. 

 Happy birthday Laura! I see you in my mind's eye dancing on the beach.

The Economist recently reported that American philosophy graduates now find work at higher rates than their computer science peers, and that leading AI laboratories are recruiting philosophers into senior roles -– not merely to sharpen a model's chains of reasoning, but to draft the documents, such as Google's published 'AI Principles', that are meant to govern how a system behaves.

H. Mustafa Akyol

The Philosopher

In my distilling processes, I frequently precipitated                              the phlegma of our earthball--its polar deserts, its Russian forests, its icebergs--and from the sediments extracted a beautiful by-earth,     a small satellite. If we extract and regulate the charms of this old world, we can form a delightful though minutely condensed world.

-Introduction to The Campaner Thal, 

by Jean Paul

Don't think about the technofascist data

centers. You can do nothing to stop progress.

The empire must do itself in. Forget about posthuman

Christian Zionism, it's just a fad in the long run. The coyotes go

much further back. The schmucks will tell you it began with them 

and nature, gnome sane

's just an invention. They got data control. Don't think about redemption,

you may as well piss up a rope and write a poem about it, 

like childhood. 

I got a feeling of the future, I see my teeth in the clouds, 

down below they murder the saguaros for a buffer zone and border wall and build a data farm with smart fences to keep the desert tortoise out. 

Life goes by fast. Don't even think about it.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

-Raymond Carver

 Genocide on earth, Data Centers in Space, or, May We Feed the King.

Reading May We Feed The King I recall seeing two pickup trucks across the street with big flags on poles stuck in the holes of the bed that said something with King and R. said is that No Kings, but I said I think it's Kings Of America. It's really nothing to do with the book except for that word, king. I thought maybe I would start again, as I might not be getting it the first time. I can be a daydreaming reader.

 It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican, or any other denomination, the only thing that matters now is whether you're Zionist or Anti-Zionist. Cats for peace.

 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Cats for peace.

 Walking down the alley I saw that the motor home was gone. It was parked on the opposite side. There's a sticker saying There's nothing inside worth your life, and a wheelchair on the back landing.
