I really want to see a blue wave in the US midterms because I think it's fun hearing Republicans suddenly start talking about how the US needs its leadership to be more unified.

Youtube algorithms is bonkers. I wanted to watch a video making fun of AI slop, but first I had to watch three videos about how great AI is and how much it's improving my life. Usually my ads are for phone games I'm currently playing, so a truly bizarre twist.

Dorothy Parker hated Winnie the Pooh. Deeply and viscerally. Her publisher compared her publicly to AA Milne. She published a poem about how the comparison made her want to drink cyanide. (Orig source: algonquinroundtable.org/parkerandmil...)

It's common knowledge about what
she thought about Winnie the Pooh, from Mrs. Parker's book review published in The New Yorker, about The House at Pooh Corner, from October 1928:
And it is that word "hummy," my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner" at which Tonstant Weader Fwowed up.

However, this is a year after Mrs. Parker had found herself in a mess about Milne. Her publisher, Boni & Liveright, were marketing her debut poetry collection Enough Rope with advertising copy, "America's A. A. Milne is a lady. She is Dorothy Parker. Not very smart.
Mrs. Parker wrote a response for FPA called
"When We Were Very Sore." This was published on March 10, 1927 in the New York World. She likely wasn't paid for this verse,
which is written in the Milne style. FPA had a lot of fun with this one. He quipped, "What lady was America's A. A. Milne? Answer: That was no lady, that was Dorothy Parker.”

(Lines on Discovering That You Have Been Advertised as
America's A. A. Milne.)

Dotty had

Visions of

Quietude.

Dotty saw an

Dotty had a

And that (said Dotty)

Is that.

DOROTHY PARKER
The Conning Tower
When We Were Very Sore
Early yesterday morning, before the receipt of the preceding verses, we had already composed the following "Lines Writter on a Near Prospect of Boni & Liveright's Advertisement of 'Enough Rope,' begining
'America's A. A. Milne is a lady.
She is Dorothy
Parker:*
America's A. A. Milne is a lady, Elinor Wylie's the King of Spain;
Stephen S. Wise is Judy O'Grady, And Boni & Liveright give me a pain.
Suggestion, also founded on the same theme, for
query in a questionnaire book:
"What lady was Ameri-
ca's A. A. Milne?" Ans.-"That was no lady: that was Dorothy Parker."
For the purposes of the record it also may be stated that a purchaser of "Enough Rope" returned the book to Macy's book department on the ground
that he
bought it believing it to be a volume of Will Rogers's monologues.

The adrenaline ebbed, and the exultation of a moment years in the making passed. Wile E. Coyote looked down at the bloody, mangled corpse of the bird at his feet, and wondered - what now? He looked up, squinting in the desert sun, and saw a vulture circling in the cloudless sky.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.
