In that new photo, Real Me looks more like the guardian of the Crossroads than the Street of Dreams. Y'all best leave him offerings of rum and spice.

Back in 2016, when Real Me said Trump was "potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America [...] trying to hijack the idea of America," Real Me was correct. You should always take Real Me seriously, because 95% of the time Real Me knows what Real Me is talking about. ☘️

Sorry The Edge, I somehow missed this! It's not that I don't WANT to talk about soil regeneration. I think soil regeneration is the cat's meow and there is nothing I love more than drifting off to sleep whilst you explain no-till farming and rotational grazing. Really! I just had a few things to do.

Midnight, our sons and daughters Were cut down and taken from us. Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat. In the wind we hear their laughter In the rain we see their tears. Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat.

Yeah, seriously. Joy is resistance. We have to find the joy wherever we can right now, and lecturing people who have found some brief relief from this hellscape about how bad they are is a real dick move. When they aren't hurting anyone, just shut up and let people enjoy things. Don't be a dick.

Real Me is pretty smart. An A- student, let's say. His friends can kick rocks.

"Edge is the silence inside every noise. He's the light inside the paint." That's a quote from Real Me. Happy birthday, Edge.

If ever a song could put a crusty oul' geezer back in touch with his innocence, it's "Here Comes the Sun." Wish I'd written it. It's alright.

Don't worry, baby. It's gonna be alright. Uncertainty can be a guiding light.

Been giving this some thought. If you "feel you have to say something," is that really "freedom of expression?" Or is it something else?

Happy weekend, Beloveds. #u2fam is aware that there are showers of acc*unts out there pretending to be Real Me, but this one has acquired 2.4 million followers. Real me does not like being called Paul. Real me is an excellent writer in the English language. Report, or merely be awed by the stupid.

Screenshot of a Facebook page of someone pretending to be Bono, under the name "Born Paul David Hewson." PFP is a recent picture of Bono; cover image is a 20-year-old picture of him. 2.4 million followers, 666k likes. Awful.

If people could stop acting unhinged about Real Me, that’d be nice.

Ah, Real Me is humbled — probably. Real Me has only ever wanted to bring a bit of light into the world, even if some people (like PJ's interlocutor, below) don't see it that way. Real Me chooses battles in which he can actually be effective, rather than just another raised voice.

Fake Bono's poet's corner: Perhaps the purpose of leaves is to conceal the verticality of trees which we notice in December as if for the first time: row after row of dark forms yearning upwards. From "Vertical," by Linda Pastan

An ethical Fake Bono will always tell people right up front that they're fake. Pavel Sfera has made a lot of people feel stupid, which is cruel in itself, but this latest escapade is a bridge too far.

Em, this young lady is probably not Real Me's communication manager, and is certainly not mine either. Of course, you might want to follow her for other reasons. I don't judge.

Screenshot from Instagram of an account named tracimadcd. Account owner says her name is Jordie kay and that she is "the communications manager of @u2.bono. Entire account is photos of the voluptuous "Jordie" striking saucy poses.

To paraphrase Real Me, America is not a place, but an idea, "still caught in the act of becoming." Happy Thanksgiving. Cherish democracy. Fight for it.

She calls herself "Mother Achtoon," though she's anything but matronly. Friends, frenemies and haters, please be upstanding for my esteemed colleague, who has bean PROFILED in Realism Today. (Because she paints things that look real, or even better than — but I'll shut up now.)
