the table

Recommended Posts

At my high school study hall, a few of us guys just liked to talk about issues. Religion, government, everything just got discussed...

The table of discussion...

Mix it with some percussion and cussin'

And debate comes out; words run out;

We raise doubt, answers, or mountains

Of confusion and fountains of illusion.

We bring about facts we can't bring out in class:

Scandals of the past that out society masks

To keep us from thinking...

Mowing and clipping minds like grass.

But this table doesn't rob my brain's garden.

It digs up the dirt so my soul doesn't harden,

And gets my mind off the german and learning

About the bullshit reasons our economy is burning.

So skip your third period class if you're able

'Cause the real education's going down at the table...

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
