I am going to guess this is somewhere in Japan.
Am I right?

That’s intense. A seizure ready to happen me thinks.
And yes Dorothy I’m epileptic. I find humor in everything…

Oh. Look. A giant two-fluids something of a facsimile of a lava lamp.

I should rather Notre Dame de Paris be restored and all the hundreds of defiled churches of France be put reverently into proper order for fear, respect, worship, and love of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

Humor me, please, my friends, for my soul aches.

Alex is right. It’s a shopping mall in Seoul.

Auntie,
I long to know the truth about the cause of the Notre Dame fire.
I suspect it was not an “accident”.

Good call, Alex.

No water. No splash. No kinetic energy. No danger. No spontaneity. No variation.
Just a well done illusion.
Just a well done illusion.
Just a well done illusion.
To keep you amused and distracted.
It’s a lot like life in post-America these days

Too many are way too impressed with large-screen TV’s today.
There is NOTHING “artful” in this whatsoever, other than what the electricians did to wire it up. The rendering-software took 16 min. to do in some kid’s basement, and didn’t even require a single photo of an actual wave.

They could have gotten 1000X the “Likes” if all they did was re-broadcast the main camera from the local aquarium, or maybe even the live-feed from the space station.

I like it, too. But I’d like it better if Pelosi, Schiff, Waters, S.J. Lee and a few others were in the mix. Then I’d probably unfold an aluminum chair, snack on popcorn and watch it for hours.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

— Van der Leun

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
