i'm a little worried because we have all seen extremely clear proof of one hundred thousand crimes trump has done and i'm not sure we should be excited that one more revelation is going to be "the one"

There’s a specific genre of Generative AI use which involves professional idiots having imaginary conversations with Great Men
What do you do after you’re done jumping the shark?
Whatever it is, Nature Careers is all in.

Just finished “Heart of American Darkness” myself.
This book made me re-watch Apocalypse Now and pull out some old indigenous political anthropology proceedings (from the’80s).
“Bewilderment” as a frame for the US frontier (and our recurring/current failure to escape it) explains so much!

not sure how i got into this, but it's very hard for me to write haiku that don't also sound like alliterative old english laments. i don't think anyone is clamoring for that mashup

this reminds me that i've noticed it's extremely common for british people to begin a brand-new conversation on an untouched topic with "as i say, ..."

??? everyone on earth has experienced like eight spider-men and fourteen batmen but megabrain horowitz, here thinks the actual real james bond is dead. what is going on
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

early bob dylan supporter ric kangas probably used to get real annoyed saying his name over the phone because it sounds like "rick angus" and he'd have to carefully spell it out to clear that up. this has been "deep thoughts after reading some bob dylan stuff", stay tuned for more if i have them

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

lol there are a million shows on netflix called "harlan coben's such-and-such", and we've watched a couple.
all set in the UK, so i assumed he was a british author.
episode we just watched, a british guy says his mom (in the UK) went to the airport from parkchester over the whitestone bridge.
