I just stumbled upon an upcoming anniversary for 'America' (the Allen Ginsberg poem, not the nation). Seventy years ago, Ginsberg wrote the first lines...
"America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. | America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956."
It should be required reading.

There's been a lot of appreciation of 'Horses' lately because of its 50th anniversary, but I've been rediscovering and loving late 1990s Patti Smith over the last few days.
I seem to go back to 'Gone Again' more often than any of her other albums.

Is Google's AI search competing with Musk's AI search to see which can be more pro-MAGA? This is what it had to say when I asked about Pete Hegseth writing a book that defended war criminals...

How is it possible that trumprx.gov is "An official website of the United States government" when all it is is a non-functioning splash screen with you-know-who's face splashed across it?
I'm sure he's going to have to add more gold to those Oval Office walls before he adds functionality, though.

I know that the fascist takeover of the USA should be our main focus on this #NoKings Day, but I ran across this photo again and I'm obsessed with the question of why people spend money, time, and pain to get a bizarre #MarALagoFace.

In Thomas Pynchon's Vineland (1990), an extended family in Reagan's 1984 America argues about "...whether the United States still lingered in a prefascist twilight, or whether that darkness had fallen long stupefied years ago..." (p.371)
There's no longer a debate, is there?
