JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

“Niggard”–#pettyune and/or “cheap, stingy.”

“Niggly Nit Picker” RAP meets Middle English.

“Look up ‘Lay’ and see what you get.”

“Is that okay?”

“Some will say it’s never okay, but Ken Lay was out done by Lay, from the Korean K-Pop band.”

February 26, 2019: It will never come again. “Ripples never come back.”–#Genesis

Crime: you might not know ’till it’s too late–otherwise–The Art of the Deal by Donald J. Trump, will be dead. #BlackArts will thrive?

My take: Dialectic “reasoning”: The art of the deal will be killed by the collateral damage–not “spirit of the law”. The King/The Governor/TheCIACHIEF [@leonpanetta {A nation of laws not men. See also #PresidentJohnAdams, ‘A government of laws not men’ from UK political scientist}; #PresidentRichardMNixon].

Listening to Jonesys Jukebox. Vinny Appice is on the show with Phil Sussan . Maybe one was with Ronnie James Dio? It’s a replay. #Shallowwork I saw Carmine, I like them both, but Carmine is my man. The one Lou Reed sang about. Or Louis A. Morelli. Give one’s life up for a friend and keep a bargain for a crooked immigrant from the Ukraine. He was smart. He was connected to the c. 1987 migration. #CIA? #SovietJewishLobby Where there’s a will, there’s a way. @pontifex

Kiss the Son or perish. See Psalm 2:12 (in part).

#JeffSkilling Come Forth! #COMESNOW#JEFFREYSKILLING to ride a motorcycle and raise some hell–the “good” kind. “If you wanna get to heaven, you’ve got to raise a little hell.” #Texas#OzarkMountainDaredevils “The feminists did it, why not us?” “You don’t think women ride #moto?”Quote TweetJohn Rubens@raftofwaterReplying to @TomFitton and @JudicialWatchLook to the #EnronTaskForce stuff on speaking engagements.

Dear @genesimmons: As “#Christians” we are exhorted to spread the “good news” of the #gospel. @POLICY If we get thrown off @twitter for policy violations, at least it was for God’s sake. We have a duty to publish to the ends of the earth. #Mars is a war planet. You’d like #Venus.

The first two bars of #theDirt remind me of #CQ. Then it’s @MotleyCrue Next interlude sounds like romance wishy washy…then he’s movin’ like #Trump on rice.

See, One Dimensional Man (1964) by Herbert Marcuse.

Does Cal Newport assert a preference for “deep” over “shallow” work?

See, Deep Work (Newport, Cal 2016); Digital Minimalism (Newport, Cal 2019).

Preferences > hiring for deep, not so much hiring for shallows (unless manager, garbage man). For instance: “I could be so much more than a domestic housecleaner.”

“There’s innovation in tree trimming. That’s a learned profession.”

See, Psalm 147 13-18 “Who can stand before his cold?

Winnowing, purification by fire > purging > H2O

Ask Why? @Time magazine, re: corporate newscasts.

“No it’s not.”–Bada bing bada boom.

Dialectic Challenges:

“Set ’em up Charley.”

“There’s an app for that.”

More to come.

Corporate Welfare Counts in the USA and it is apparently less and less sovereign. #OligarchsCount 

John Rubens@raftofwater·11m@POTUS re @ac360‘s tag line: [Those ignorant of #history are prone to rewrite it].
