Barney Panofsky's Best Intentions @mynamesnotgordy.bsky.social · 1h

So the guy who promised to end a war between two other countries in one day is now begging one of those warring countries to help him because the war the guy started that was supposed to be over in two weeks has now gone on for over six months and this guy wrote a book called The Art of the Deal.

Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies. Si Newhouse, noting the brisk sales, recommend that Random House publish “The Art of the Deal,” which led to “The Apprentice.” Hence this presidency.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Something to think about and question the sanity of the lawmakers who allowed this to happen. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Congratulations to Canadian author and essayist Anne Carson for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. Carson is forever obsessed with words, weaving them together while asking big questions about life. Her work is lyrical, intellectually playful, philosophical & darkly funny.

Consent for one act doesn’t mean consent for others. Like, if I lend you a book to read, and after you read it, you invite a bunch of people over to rip the pages out, don’t blame me because it was my choice to lend the book to you.

🔥🔥🔥

Don’t get too drunk.
Don’t drink from an open cup.
Don’t show too much skin.
Don’t make them think
you’re asking for it.

Carry pepper spray.
Don’t take the shortcut.
Don’t walk alone.

Text when you leave.
Text when you get there.
Text when you get home.

And if something happens:
*What were you wearing?*
*How much did you drink?*
*Why were you alone?*

He’s a good kid.
He made a mistake.
He has his whole life ahead of him.

One more chance.

And somehow
her whole life
was spent trying to
prevent it,

while his
was too important
to be changed by it.

Jessica Fletcher made her TV debut #OTD 30 September 1984 in the first part of the story 'The Murder of Sherlock Holmes'. Her adventures were inevitably turned into novels, too – although the cover of the first one seems to claim it was the other way around... 🤔

In his 1883 comedy To Be Or Not To Be, Mel Brooks plays a Polish stage actor/manager who's always surprised and hurt at not being recognized. "You've never heard of me?," he says. "But I'm world famous in Poland!" @indentpublishing.bsky.social

Let's see the essays. Make them public. Let us read these scrawled golden tickets offered up by Cornell administrators to allow rapists to continue on with their lives unscathed. Was there a required word count? Did any of them use AI to write their "sorry for raping you" pieces? Let us read them.
