WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.

I love the sound of sarcasm in the morning…and nobody does it better than Watson.
Watson could have also mentioned Gates’ little lunches with Jeffrey Epstein– decent people avoid any kind of contact with known pedophiles, but it’s okay when Bill does it.

gwbnyc,
Thanks for sharing that video. It happens to be one of my all time favorite clips of Gates. Sadly, that was the short version, though. The longer version shows two more pies in the face. IRRC, the incident happened in Euroland and was cause for charging people with assault.
Never trust a man that looks at you sideways when speaking.
And the more scummy aspect of all this is how the media presents him as the next messiah instead of the huge hypocrite and scum bag he is. Perhaps it because the media is just as bad or worse than he is
From vapor ware to climate scare.
Glad I don’t do Windows.
Fascinating to me is the empire this asshole created, building computers fraught with viruses that need constant vaccines to continue operating. When a neighbor of mine told me she’d gotten vaxxed, I reminded her of Gates’ M.O. regarding computers, viruses and anti-virus vaccines. I asked her how she would allow an actual Gates vaccine to be injected into her veins. She replied, “It was in my arm, Tom, it wasn’t in my veins.”
I don’t understand why anyone would listen to him unless their livelihood depends on it.
Love it!
