It's a very great day for a comedy writer when I get to play with the @BystanderTweets crew. Check out this Amazon review of Neuralink: twofiftyone.net/2022/12/19/my-…

Every New Yorker has a different opinion — that's what makes New York, New York! But the one thing I hear everywhere I go is that our small businesses are being crushed by City government. There is too much red tape, unnecessary regulations, and fines that drive them out of…

Part of being a content creator on 𝕏 should be to promote other valuable creators as much as possible. So, here is my list of top tier accounts who create exceptional content & who are A MUST FOLLOW in BioTech and the financial markets👇 BioTech: @Biotech2k1 @BiopharmIQ…
Very true, and well said.
The Times's reassignment of four critics is one thing, but its downgrading of the so-called traditional review is altogether another: newyorker.com/culture/the-le…
It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.

WSJ: Why Amazon Wants an AI Bracelet That Records Everything You Say More reporting on Amazon's acquisition of Bee. There is obviously a minefield of societal privacy implications, and I'm also thinking about how crazy corporate and political OpSec needs to be in order to…
I wasn't trying to be an outlaw writer. I never heard of that term; somebody else made it up. But we were all outside the law: Kerouac, Miller, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kesey; I didn't have a gauge as to who was the worst outlaw. I just recognized allies: my people.
Here's my lucky break: My father worked two sometimes three jobs to move us out of the Bronx to Yorktown Heights and into a 1,000 sq foot home in front of the UPS plant, the town dump and a few blocks from Section 8 housing. And yes it was a blessing (even if I never saw the old…
Meritocracy is a fairy tale. Few people work hard, many get a lucky break.
Howard Dean yelled weirdly into a microphone in a moment of enthusiasm and the country collectively got the ick and discarded him as a presidential candidate
"You can't be expected to have a successful AI programme, when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for...Gee, I read a book I'm supposed to pay." Trump has supercharged the AI kleptocrats & betrayed U.S creators.
Last night, Trump sided with parasitic AI companies against millions of writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians trying to eke out a living. The rationale is if AI developers can't steal intellectual property, then they can't feed their digital demons. Sounds good to me.
Why does American literature seem like it’s dying? Maybe because all of the most visible publishers play w their tail between their legs pushing family dramas, vacation stories, and netflix propaganda instead of anything that might move a needle
Against the Day is dimensional scripture, a kinetic avalanche of the unknowable cosmic mysteries traveling hand-in-hand with the incredible discoveries of our earthly minds. Reading this book has been a fucking terrific experience. More to say later.
NVIDIA - fearmongering for profit. Trying to scare every company into using AI. The reality check: "In mid-2024, a study of 2,500 workers found that 77 percent reported decreased productivity and even higher workloads when using AI."
A 2015 press cutting on Larkin’s rejection of nomination for the Oxford Professorship of Poetry. ‘My idea of hell on earth…is a literary party, and I have an uneasy feeling that the post carries with it a lot of sherry-drill with important people.’
It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and…
@Google seeks to alter Soho, Noho & Chinatown to commercial to build Google Campuses next to St John’s Terminal. Just like we saw in the Meatpacking District. We will be forced to limit Tech to Midtown. Our Industrial Zones support Fashion, Film, Music, Entertainment & Arts.

"OBAMA MUST BE ARRESTED" by the sitting President who got the Supreme Court to declare that Presidents can't commit crimes.
