@JRichWords Not me, but one of my students was raving about this book the other day.

Probably the best possible review? Seeking a publisher for another of Castaldi's books. Still experimental but totally different. Hallucinatory yet controlled (punctuated but paratactic, Steinlike). Please reach out if this is you! 👀 goodreads.com/book/show/1254…

@iamjulesworley @TriciaOhio Including Kristi Noem. And Donald Trump, the felon president

@TriciaOhio NO ONE is above the law. 😆

Padilla pushing and shoving law enforcement officers to get his way back to the podium. Incredibly aggressive behavior from a sitting US Senator. No one knew who he was.

@fionakittymom @TriciaOhio Check your eyeglasses prescription, you are obviously having difficulty seeing. And maybe invest in some hearing aids.

@TriciaOhio The video doesn’t lie…we all see it; unfortunately Dems are twisting what happened

@IsaiahLCarter Do you have eyes to see? A US Senator goes to a press conference, identifies himself, starts to ask a question, and is hauled out pushed to the ground, and hand-cuffed. Where is the stunt? The stunt queen is Kristi Noem: shame on her for lying, shame on you for believing her.

This stunt-queening ain't working anymore, Dems

@blgtylr I’ll use my connections to see if I can set up a match between you two.

@BrianRobMoore We should share royalties (yuk, yuk).

People have asked me before if @michaelfmoore1 and I are related, but I think this is the first time we've been merged into the same person. Identity crises aside, actually a really lovely review here: unclekins.wordpress.com/2025/04/18/ver…

@WendellPierce Bravo. My question is, who will be Desdemona? In the operatic version, with the right soprano, she becomes the tragic heroine.

@esglaude It was a beautiful conversation, the way he looked so deeply at the disease in our history and still gave us something to hold onto. You did a great job keeping it together before such an icon (not to mention your socks).

@RitchieTorres Um… not a word about the genocide in Gaza or climate change: the silence on these issues kept young and progressive voters away. The margin of victory was small. I do hope that you will put some energy into defending the many undocumented aliens who make our city run.

We as Democrats paid a heavy price for the Biden Administration’s malpractice of acting like a deer in the headlights as the migrant crisis raged on for years. Since 2022, there has been an overwhelming wave of migration whose impact was felt not only at the border but in blue cities like New York, where the shelter system came under severe strain. Despite widespread public outcry, the Biden Administration waited two years before issuing an executive order restricting migration at the border. By then, it was too late. The damage was done. The Republicans had won the issue. Lesson learned: when there’s a metaphorical fire provoking widespread public outrage, you must act decisively to extinguish it or else the voters will decisively punish you at the ballot box. After the President issued the Executive Order (EO) restricting migration at the border, subsequent polling revealed that the EO, contrary to the media’s misconceptions about Latinos, enjoyed widespread public support from every racial category—Black and White, Latino and Asian. If the EO enjoyed broad public support, why did the President take so long before issuing it? Though popular among most Americans, the EO was unpopular among far-left elites, who have been given outsized power over the policymaking and messaging of the Democratic Party. Therein lies the second cause of our defeat. The first cause is inflation.

“I recenti successi della letteratura italiana all’estero si devono in larga misura a chi la traduce - e la vastità del panorama editoriale che la rende possibile si deve chi lo arricchisce traducendo in italiano romanzi da tutto il mondo” - @vlatronico

@bolanoesque Flamethrowers was a big disappointment to me, after several friends recommended it. The usual life in another “corrupt” country briefly viewed through the eyes of a wide-eyed American innocent. Vapid

@blgtylr (Apologies for the late reply: was on a deadline.)

@blgtylr Please do.

@aaronkfoley I’ve been meaning to check it out. Have you read Marlon James? A brief history of 7 killings?

Finally watched that Bob Marley movie on the plane. Rita took one to the dome and he still cheated?

Life is always worth living, and there is always hope for the future, even when everything seems to be over. The fact that each of us exists is a unique gift for both ourselves and for others. God never abandons us - He knows how to listen, rejoice, and weep with us.

“I stood there, staring at my phone, thumbing up and down the homepage of America’s newspaper of record, searching for a single mention of Gaza, and found nothing.” This is most of us every single day. @danpjsheehan on genocide media’s unreal nonstop #GenocideJoe whitewash

@a_stille I agree, and am tired of people saying there is no alternative. My sense is that progressives are afraid of having a centrist Democrat foisted on them.

There is one easy answer to this hour-long ramble: Joe Biden is no shape to conduct a successful presidential campaign and will bring ruin down on all of us if he persists. Open convention way preferable, even exciting. There is plenty of talent in the party
