Authoritarian Update: 2017 – 2023
I posted the image on the left in 2017. Six years later, 2023, there’s been a development or two.
…the increasing breadth of authoritarianism…
Roughly Nov. 2022 – Nov. 2023 (CA to OH)
Here’s a video summary of many (not all) of the digital images and smaller videos that I’ve composed on my iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil from November 2022 to part way through November 2023. The time period happens to correspond to our corporate move from California to Ohio. As usual some of the images are cartoonish, some are a little more serious; there are a few dogs, a few airbnbs, some political figures, and some psychopaths, I’m doing an inventory so that I can pick out one, maybe two or three for a “call for entry.” Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question in the space provided below, and thanks for visiting.
The Powdered Wig Could Make a Come Back
The same folks who want to go back to the days when Jesus was speaking Latin with his disciples also want to go back to the early days of this Holy Republic, when the Founding Fathers ran a tight ship in His Name and laid down the damned law, if necessary, right upside the heads of anybody who stepped out of line. America, they say, will be great again when MAGA lawyers will be anointed and appointed to kick some ass. Maybe they’ll wear powdered wigs again.

Have Pronouns Will Travel
Indefinite pronouns included.
Update: Each time I hear the song, “Him” by Rupert Holmes (1979) on Yacht Rock Radio played over and over again I’m struck by two things both related to pronouns.
- There are several, repeated and annoying errors because of the failure to distinguish between and make proper use of subjective and objective pronouns, one example, “It’s me or it’s him.” I’ve indicated on the revised lyrics where these errors occur.
- I know “Him” was written before the advent of nonbinary pronouns – along with countless other songs that might also merit updating, but it’s that huge emphasis on “HIM, HIM, HIM!” that makes it impossible to ignore these lyrics in our new pronoun landscape. (Cf. The annual International Pronouns Day.)
Check out my attempt to adjust the pronouns:
“Him” or “Them?”

How isn’t he floating down the Potomac?
I have mixed feelings about spending time on my iPad on crap like this, scoundrels not only impersonating public servants, but bilking them. They capitalize on the ignorance of their constituents. They cut funding for public education, humiliate teachers, ban books, whitewash curricula, and so on… all for the conservation of their most precious resource: ignorance.
What does it take?
