Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The evening’s reading: Revelations in the Greek/English interlinear New Testament, and The Dead Sea Scrolls, Millar Burrows, 1955. Whisky: Castle and Key Rye. The inscribed napkin was tucked into the book when I bought it decades ago. 010
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Execution by firing squad gives any condemned person a perfect opportunity to stand as a martyr, and demonstrate the brutality of State murder. Have these stupid fuckers seen Goya's painting of Napoleon's soldiers executing Spanish prisoners? Or the film Breaker Morant? Firing squads make heros. 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Visits to an old cemeteries are salutary to the purpose. Count the child graves. 010
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 02/09/2026An exchange between Wendell Berry and Tim DeChristopher. I've been in that building Berry mentions. #WendallBerry #Shakers #ThomasMerton #PleasantHillKentucky 010
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Wendell Barry died yesterday. I heard him speak at rallies, twice. When I see or hear his name, I think of a lover, now dead, who carried his books in her heart like gospel. This is how I feel today: #wendellberry #lamedvov 131
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Just now. The Angel of Death was in there with me in the form of a museum guard. They no longer let you go in alone. AoD says there was an “altercation “. So I didn’t make any sudden moves. 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I already had the tickets when I got news of her death. I'm a big fan of her art, particularly her Infinity Rooms. She's not as well known as Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, but I think she's just as important. It feels like Samael, the angel of death, is picking off the Lamed Vov one by one. 111
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yayoi Kusama died yesterday, age 97. Elspeth and I are visiting one of her Infinity Rooms, "All the Eternal Love I Have for Pumpkins" this afternoon at the Cincinnati Art Museum. It'll be my second visit to the pumpkins. I'll probably cry. If you don't know her art, you should. #kusama 111
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I do after all use scissors, glue, and old magazines to make my Scissor Dances, but also use specifically the old Picassa editing software to make "superimposition" collages. But I like using the constraints imposed by the limits of a tool, not a tool that does everything but not to my "taste". 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I found the old journal, and the pertinent entries. I read the Pfeiffer book over March 30-31, 1992, and was reading Marshack on April 5. I was much more diligent about recording my reading and my thoughts about it back then Here’s the Neanderthal entry: 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I particularly liked this one. Die Mutter der Tiere / The Mother of Animals 100

Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I wouldn't have anything to give up. I don't use AI. I would gain by losing all the useless AI features that have been stuck into the apps I use, which I either ignore, turn off, delete or switch platforms to avoid. #AI #noAI 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026For comparison, my copy of John Addington Symonds Studies of the Greek Poets, published 1873, 153 years old, is in a condition more or less equivalent to Thoreau paperback (66 years old). 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026For instance, my Fagles translation of the Odyssey, printed 1997, the spine has faded a bit due to exposure to light, but is in good shape. Will it last a hundred years? I won’t be there to find out. 200
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I have younger books that are doing fine, but time will tell. 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Most of my mental images of the Odyssey derive from fragmentary memories of Kirk Douglas in Ulysses (released 1953), which I watched on the WKY TV Saturday Creature Feature when I was, what, 10 years old. 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 26/07/2026This is an insult to Jimothy, and all trash pandas. #jimothy #elon 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This sculpture immediately brings to mind the "restoration" of the Ecce Homo fresco in a church in Spain by 81yo parishioner. The Spaniards call it Ecce Mono, Behold the Monkey. The Monkey Christ. The sculpture has appropriately "restored" Kirk's image. Behold the Charlie. No wonder no one wants it. 000

Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The Triumph of #AI for its fascist evangels and disciples, is not that it makes the fake seem real, but that it makes everything fake. Burroughs wrote "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." With apologies to Keats, fake is true, truth fake--that is all you know online, and all you need to know. 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I voted for Booker in the primary. Even if Beshear appointed him and Booker was seated in the Senate tomorrow, Barr will likely be the junior senator from Kentucky in January. 010
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I'm so old I remember vacuum tube testers in grocery and drug stores. 010

Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 28/06/2026In honor of the Donald J. Trump and Abraham Lincoln Reflecting Pool, I think the 4th of July should be renamed Green Day. Algae uber alles! 010
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I got you, Ed. I am not Ed, but I feel a bit flattered, and nonplussed. 000
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I laughed out loud when I saw my result. I don't think I'm Ed Zitron, but maybe I look like an Ed. 100
Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Does anyone remember the antifa bus(es)? Back in 2020? What was a joke then is serious now. They attack their hallucination of resistance and create real resistance (welcome to the...). 011

Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Yesterday I walked 8 miles, 21,810 steps, per the iParasite. The most steps and miles for a day since my knee replacements. The one year anniversary of 1st knee surgery was May 5; the 2nd Sept 15. I've walked 7,122 steps this morning. Average since last Sunday is almost 12,000 steps, 4.4 miles. 120

Dr. Omed @tinydoctor.bsky.social · 26/05/2026 Is #Trump, per Skinnerian behavioralism, the human embodiment of an "extinction burst"-by-proxy for his followers? Trouble is, look at it that way, it's not the only collective extinction burst now hells-a-poppening in the body politic. & social media is the global e pluribus unum of Skinner boxes. 100
