you wonder how hitler came to power and then you see a doddering obese pedophile with tertiary syphilis yell “BLACK PEOPLE” to a crowd of midwestern filth. looks like it could happen here
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

tiresome Twitter "greatest"--"best"--"highest"--"most favorite"--everything hyperbolic, amplified. even a classicist mimicking the simpleminded either/or of MAGAspeak. maybe the "greatest" poem ever written is five lines long & was written by Emily Dickinson. why not?
The greatest poem ever written is the Iliad. There is simply no question. The only challenge for each reader, whenever and wherever, is to find their own route to seeing how and why that is the truth. (It took me 22 years from first read.)

actually in physical pain from laughing at how Michael Tracey must look right now creeping around Cornell and deluding himself that he blends in
Most normal Cornell students appear to be behaving normally, I see no angry mobs or gang rapes

Carson winning the Nobel after writing 85 beautiful books about antiquity: I suppose that's fine. thank you. people who have read 3 poems in the past decade: I've always despised the prose of her verse. Also our culture has rejected Beauty.

Very fond of Carson in a post-Nobel interview in which the interviewer asks "Do you have anything to say about the role of poetry in this world" and she goes "Ummmm...no." while holding on a cap that says "Reality" in a vigorous Icelandic wind

I happened upon a Solitary Sandpiper on the edge of the Central Park Pool. Often people tell me my photos look like a painting--this time I agree! This may be one of my favorite all-time photos. 🥰🥰🥰 #Sandpiper #CentralPark #birdcpp

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

“I like listening for something that doesn’t want to make a sound. I pay attention, and that makes life more beautiful, for if we don’t have to pay attention there really is no life.” (Walser, Jakob von Gunten)

I hate being 37. Everything I do, it's like "Oh, you're a 37 year old man doing that?". Sorry, they shut down all the Elks Lodges or whatever the fuck. Let me live.
