Self-titled Assurdness

hubris of wicked leaders

Self-titled assurdness or hubris of wicked leaders? I put up the title, wrote the piece, and then thought better of posting it. I edited it some, perhaps, but now it is days later and I just don't care anymore what I was going on about on that day, last Saturday.

A friend came by, it was mid afternoon on a Saturday. I had written my scree quickly, as usual. But then it needs an edit if it's on the topic that I chose: putridness of leadership of some, and the crap that people say (politicians) when they justify (mealy-mouth?) their causes.

Some of them do and say anything. In the case of one recently he goes on with his smack talk. I see it that way, like it's a bit, he's doing a schtick, like a commedian. But here is the deal everyone gets the back story of his 'jokes'. and if you don't, and you say 'oh, gee, look, it's Hitler.', anyone who has read the news for the last few years and gotten discusted by it, and then looked for other sources and started connecting not through the sanctioned channels of governance: brought to you by the largesse of "all that you are doing is belonging to us" but actually finding better sources, realizing which channels of news are most likely to have big log jams of paid for agenda-mongering content brought to you by corporate sponsers. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, and is healthy for the public dialog except if it's only big-money, big money made from nothing and force fed out to the world, either borrow and be our slaves or . . . you had better be sitting on a pile of gold. An ugly view of the world.

And is it, thus, some different kind of art? Like a 'concept piece'? Some giant farse? Do I need to put 'art blog' somewhere on the pages as disclaimers to say 'hey, this ain't no secret channel', though I will admit that any static site could be used as a diff-start for some desired final end. I mean it like it sounds to a programmer, and there is no getting away from it due to the nature of numbers, and how one may send forward data, and mirror it off into the woodlands of thought: you can reproduce from the shawdows on the trees that through which you shined your light. For who and for why? that would be the criminal part. It's not the one who has the static page that needs to worry, is it? If some clever, and malintentioned, accuser would suggest that you did it for that reason, to allow for someone else to use your work to pass bad thoughts between bad actors. The intention is not there.

In any case even when a channel has no other cargo in the bardges than that owned by those who sponser the channel, it would be a fully owned corporate entity. If that is the case then one must say to oneself: everything here? everything here is painted in the colors that these people use as their trademarks, and even the ideas here are trademarks, of a sort, of this group. And then you have to ask if you like it, or is it useful? is it really tainted or just stained? Are the ideas here still good for the mind? Does this website give me some pleasure or help me in some way? Do I have no choice but to use this, as it gets woven into all the other pages?

When you ad-block a whole domain, and scrub all links to various corporate pages (or 'backbone architecture') then the pages don't render as they would otherwise. In some cases this is fine, and it doesn't too badly effect the use of the pages. And fortunately most sights are not so orwellian (my judgement, my bad?) as to not work if you block various parts of them. And if they do, then so it is. For exmaple I stopped watching a particular news station because I decided that I didn't want my cable box anymore (it had started giving messages as if it were HAL from 2001/Space Oddessy). Not only that but it had all kinds of features that added no value, but were impossible to remove. In any case I didn't give up on the channel so instead I went and got a 50 dolla box made by SONY and it also plays Blue-Ray (which I don't care) and DVD (which is nice). And it has the capacity to run apps. There was an app for the specific news station that I no longer have as a cable feed (which I ran 'off to the side' mostly muted for a long long time while I toiled away pointlessly on these copius pages. I wanted to purvue the snark masters of the midnight to 3 A.M. crowd. Greg and crowd. It was semi surreal at 2:30 A.M. if, for some reason, I happened to still be up writing. So I chose the ap. I chose the show. Oh ya! I'll have that witted barberous snark rolling through the thunder of the new stereo system which I've hooked up. Actually it's only new in how it is hooked up, but it gets loud.

But when the video started it wasn't the wonderful and cleaver master of Snarkolgy, Gregg Gutfeld. Instead it was an over produced and sicky slick commercial. And with the studio surround sound on full blast, all I got was the ambient sounds from the commercial, the room suddenly filled with horible syrupy ambieance, and the images of shapes which mimic the legs of a shapely girl, but it's for a car or for a male enhancement product, or something that I'm never going to want or need. I quickly hit the off switch on the small box, and I haven't tried to watch that channel through it again.

It's fair that they have the commercial. I think so. But as far as it being the first thing that you have to see in order to watch the show? When they know full well most people can mute it, or put a shroud over the television while it is on. And I suppose I ought to give it another shot. After all it was the sudden onset of overwhelming sound that put me off from the commericial.

there is this thing that they do on health-care commericals where they show what I call a 'creepy closeup'. They zoom in on some elderly person who is high, or extatic, and they use the slow-mo mode of the video and have this person peering out at you for a duration that is as if it's some old person peering into a babies crib, and there is no way for you to avoid it only I'm not in a crib so I just turn it off. Yes, I turn it off. And when I do I often forget to turn it back on. And so I miss the rest of whatever was playing. If I'm not intereseted then so it is, and what does it matter? I never see the last few minutes of whatever show it was. Oh, well, and so what.

alright, I'll delete this soon enough.

We sure do need a billion dollar idea.

Inspiration is our prayer this week. We are wanting it here, because it's esoteric to an extreme and not generating the desired effect upon the web-viewing public.

   Lord       Lord       Lord

  well, nothing more here today.
