Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

The poems struggle to emerge when the historical moment piles cold stones into a cairn upon their heads.

Another day without a new poem. I wonder what I spend my time doing? Listening to the air conditioner, maybe, for some stability while I read the news.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Reading the news from the US is like drilling a hole in your own belly. Painful. Destructive. And when you can bear it no more, your only discovery is torn flesh, and some emptiness.

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

INTERNAL VOICE: I should post. I should engage in the discourse. I should be visible. I should build an audience. I should respond to world events…

Checks socials. Reads. Sits still. Watches speaks of dust float in a cold square of sunshine. Makes a fist.

Breathes out.

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

Had that burst of creative energy in the middle of the year, wrote about 30 poems and a couple of short stories, then became distracted with work. Now, the tank’s bone dry. The page stays blank. The rhythm goes unheard.

Has this happened to you?

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

End of Story? Sorry. Had to get thinky this week.

I read the phrase β€œplot-based media” for the first time this week, and I died a little inside. The context was the unleashening of Sora, OpenAI’s new hybrid video extruder and anti-social network...

Anna has read and loved and is thrilled finally to be able to share with you Vanessa Berry’s new book, Calendar, a beautiful account of one year told through Berry’s daily encounters with the objects around her. This book is a joy to read.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."
