"But lately, his posts are not having the desired effect. It’s possible that what observers witnessed this weekend is a tipping point of sorts. Trump’s posts, instead of influencing reality, suggest that the president is retreating from it entirely" theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark: "They were very close. They were good friends. [Jeffrey] was talking to Donald, and he asked Donald, 'how come you sleep with so many married women?' And Donald's answer was, 'because it's so wrong.'"

When Biden said he wanted to restore the soul of America that was too much for the money grabbers in our country and politics. He invested more than fifty years of his life believing and trying to make it better. What the fuck was wrong with that? America may be lost but we can…

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters greet JD Vance with boos as he arrives at an RNC fundraiser in Nantucket

in boxing, a dirty fighter is highly dangerous when he is losing, & losing badly; he will flail out blindly, he will foul his opponent with the intent of seriously harming him, he will do as much damage as he can before it's over. #T***pDownForTheEpsteinCount

sad that a US president, even one as debased as T***p, would position himself as the leader of a lynch mob roused to arrest (i.e., lynch) the only Black president in US history.

Trump: Presidents must have total immunity! Also Trump: Arrest Obama!

Oops! T***p seems to have forgotten that Biden was the former president he was going to arrest for "rigging the election" in 2020--you know, the election that T***p lost not once but myriad times as election results were investigated over a period of years.

Racists haven't stopped being mad about losing the Civil War & the right to own black people. When Barack Obama was elected it was an assault on their white privilege they've been outraged about ever since. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Arrest Obama #TrumpIsANationalEmbarrassment

🚨NEW: President Obama slams Trump in a rare statement issued after calls for his arrest: "These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” RETWEET if you stand with Obama against Trump!

not at all. it is fascinating to learn how in the history of the arts a genius emerges because he could not create what was, up to that time, "art." one example, Jackson Pollock. just as Beckett understood that he could not out-Joyce James Joyce, or Andy Warhol that he could not…

He didn’t hit his stride until his late 30s, when he was going blind. Before then, he was considered something of a mediocrity in Argentine literary salons, a highbrow wannabe. His early stories are forgettable. Then came “Ficciones,” a groundbreaking collection.

Borges is such a fascinating writer; one of those forced to be unique, brilliantly original, because the kind of writing he'd hoped to do, or the kinds of subjects that emotionally attracted him, he could not. maybe closest in "The South."

asking AI to compose "the most adorable kitty-picture, ever" & AI sweetly responded: "You already have it."

not sure about that but the film "Her" was certainly prescient in specific ways. brilliant film especially in that it isn't sneering or superior to its subject but in fact respectful, sympathetic. so odd to see now lengthy articles about AI companions that don't even reference…
