Previous post: Olde Tyme Sign of the Times
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
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.
Gerard Van der Leun

Subtle.
Veeery subtle.
A bit of daylight right here. Tracy is a trip mine. That means she’s my heroine. Watch out, the Left – we have your number, now. Tracy joins Rosanne (a wounded and loose cannon comic genius) and Norm MacDonald, Gavin McInnes, and Dennis Miller as true comedians.
Fuck off, Jamie!
I found this video deeply offensive. First, it was in color, which means that it appropriated the cinematography from non-whites, or people of “color.” The video should have been in black and white, except that would have privileged whites and oppressed black people. One could say it was in grayscale, but that implies sameness and would be highly offensive and oppressive to all of us who celebrate diversity. It could have been made as a cartoon, but inevitably it would have meant caricaturing (hence stereotyping) the characters, which you can do to the white characters (I mean, who cares? They are all Nazis anyway) but not to the minority players — who were massively under-represented in the casting!
Therefore, this video should never have been made at all. I demand that you take it off your site, you neo-Nazi, fascist hatemonger!
Sir! YES SIR!!
I vass amussssed!
It’s always important to check out what “The Ullwoman” is up to. After all, she helped launch “The Simpsons” (The Simpson’s …….. )
‘Struth!! Simpsons started as a minor segment on her show in early 90’s
The fact that Tracey Ullman did this isn’t surprising- but the fact that the BBC showed it is amazing!
Glad to see that Tracey is still subversive, and I greatly enjoyed that video!
what’s http://www.facebook.com? I’m just getting a silly sad face icon…is something supposed to be there?
