Night Recap of Timcast Event

Made it back home. The gang was going to the after-party. But I am a firm believer that nothing good happens after midnight. Just watch Gremlins. lol

It was a fun night. I hate asking for favours, and hate feeling indebted, so I bought a ticket and planned on attending as a spectator. Networks are an amazing thing... I had met the security at the Milwaukee event, and they gave me a "backstage" neck pass (which I kept as a souvenir). Got backstage and met the gang. Luke, Ian, Tim's team, and the guests of honour.

Tim looked great, excited, proud of the team he has built. And rightly so. The event was at a church in Little Havana in Miami. A great location, though I was fearful of everything as I am when I leave the house! lol

Met Alex Stein is awesome. He has life in his eyes, and looks like he's genuinely loving his purpose in life. He was loving the crowd as he performed.

Met Patrick Bet David again, and his team. Vinny and I had a good laugh about his encounter with Schmidt. Vinny is intense an authentic, straight-forward and introspective in a way that you don't often see.

I ran into the Redheaded Libertarian. She seemed a little shy, reserved but super friendly. Always fun to see how people's online personas compliment / differ from their real life personalities.

Saw James O'Keefe and we caught up. He's being sued by Project Veritas. It seems (and this is my assessment) that they are keeping PV alive only to sue James. His life has been turned into a struggle of lawfare and persecution, and even if I think he looks tired of it (anyone would be, but it might be my projection), he also looks as determined as ever.

He is also being sued by the post office guy for defamation for reporting on the whistleblower who said he overheard the post office guy talking about back-dating ballots. And James just got a letter of demand for referencing the lawsuit filed against him for defamation. It's a veritable defamat-inception! All thinhs considered, James if rocking. PV can eat shit. Sorry for the swear.

And I met Matt Gaetz. I asked him on what basis they were trying to expel him. He jokingly said it's because he held McCarthy to a budget, then said it goers back to the bogus accusation that he was already absolved of. Guilty until proven innocent. Then guilty even once proven innocent. It's the democrat way... He too seemed tired of the bullshit (my projection - sorry for the swear). but also, probably understandably so.

And funny enough, I was talking to someone who looked familiar. About Miami. Florida. Then Trump/DeSantis. Turns out it was Rob Smith, a man who I think I might have been sassy with on Twitter. We really got along, so I hope my sassiness will be forgotten, though I don't think I was mean or unfair. I jokingly said it takes me a while before coming to the conclusion that negative intentions can be inferred. I think we're friends.

Evening ended, came back listening to Barnes Hitler Hush-Hush. Ate more food than people need to eat before going to bed. And now, I am off to bed.

Peace! No proofreading. YOLO!!!

The most amazing fossil I have ever seen

This is at a place called Astro West.

Every time we come to New York, I go and imagine things I would buy if I were a billionaire.

Look at this fossil!

The Barnes Brief: Weekend Edition, Friday, August 29, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day: The curved Victorian couch under the open window, with the kerosene lamp before the moonlit azure sky, the TV on behind as welcome rest beckons. The firmness of these old curved couches reminds of what furniture was once reliably made with style and to be steady and strong as a structure, but also to serve a function beyond appearance or aesthetic for something as fundamental as rest. 

B. Wisdom of the Day:  “He understood that the foreign aid game was a sham - he had to know. It existed to make him rich and to shackle his country with debt.” John Perkins, Confession of an Economic Hit Man. 

C. Cultural Recommendation: The Debt Trap. Critics of the IMF proved prescient. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1865314.The_debt_trap?

Barnes Brief: Daily Edition, Thursday, August 28, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Appearances

B. Art of the Day: The necessary reading nook, like the kind I’d try to form for myself at bookstores like Shakespeare in Paris, or for one’s residence to shape a place to disappear within, chasing the thoughts of the author and oneself, transported to other worlds made comfortable by the hugging chair, warm blankets, and surrounded books. 

C. Wisdom of the Day: “To love the little platoon we belong to in society is the first principle of public affections.” Edmund Burke. 

D. Cultural Recommendation: 1775: A Good Year for Revolution by Kevin Phillips. Brilliant text detailing the people, and ideas, that made the world greatest revolution arise. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13588422-1775
