🧵Ive mentioned that I had kept a video journal. I started it in March of 2020 because I couldn’t write. It tapered off as I started to share things on YouTube. I just came across a long entry that I’d filed away in my google drive. It was made the first week in June 2020
after the looting began. That also happens to be when I began really using my twitter account. If you search for my name and Soho you’ll see why. I was livid that an NYU professor was excusing the violence down there as a product of “racial capitalism.” This is part of the entry
/end
What I had said to the professor. Nope. She’s never bothered replying. Of course not.

Seriously some MDs have managed to make it so that my entire position on the profession has gone completely in reverse.

I use to see doctors as ethical, humanist, and rational until proven otherwise. Now?
I miss the days when medical advice (even underhandedly) given on social media to strangers was considered - to put it mildly - uncouth.
I think it began with diagnosing politicians and people for political gain. Oh right. That’s how it always began.

It’s rather insane that polemics has replaced principle in the professions which without it lead to the most horrific results.

This is now in the judiciary committee. This is INCREDIBLY dangerous.
Here is a brief spaces I held regarding this bill.

@JoshSlocum would you be interested in doing a discussion with me about this perhaps on another space?

@ConceptualJames this is probably the most dangerous bill I’ve seen. Any ideas on how to get this as contested as A416?

I keep reading a certain class of déclassé referring to “polite society.”

I figure it’s a good time to repeat my thoughts on such places and people.
——-
So......yeah. These people think of themselves as the antidote to fascism.

Can you imagine what they mean by “polite society?”
I mean really.

These must be some pretty awful parties. I’m imagining Salem meets Jonestown with just a dash of NXIVM.

Artists, of all people, know that masks were never a zero cost or even a low cost solution.

This means that either artists have knowingly caused harm and encouraged causing harm on a level that is highly disturbing and one hopes wasn’t don’t consciously or -
that those who claim to be artists and claim to be qualified to speak on or direct discussion from an artistic perspective; but historically and psychologically are in fact not qualified AT ALL to be doing so. In other words they’re not artists. They’re administrators and/or
lousy critics.

I bought my apartment in 2003. I never imagined I wouldn’t want to keep it or that NYC wouldn’t always be the greatest city in the world.

It’s over. I don’t know if we can ever recover from what we allowed happen.

Those in power aren’t the only ones to blame.
I use to say “thank god we didn’t have social media during 9/11.”

I also think thank god even having email wasn’t a guarantee. Or cell phones. Or all this “connectivity.”
A virus was spread throughout the city. But it wasn’t a corona virus.

The bigotry toward trump voters normalized by what was left of our decimated elite, the room left by our dead let the déclassé class create and hold onto power for its own.
