RIP to Chris Christie’s 2028 campaign, murdered by an octogenarian mere hours after launch
Joyce Carol Oates • @JoyceCarolOates
really, this is a serious question: why on earth would Chris Christie imagine that anyone, anywhere, ever would want him to run for President? what sparks such a delusion? granted, his wife might enjoy having him out of the house & on the campaign trail; but better just get an inexpensive hobby instead.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

This is an administration that says things like “we’re going to protest gravity, because we think it’s unconstitutional to keep us pinned to the Earth,“ and then the entire sane portion of humanity is like “OK, let me explain why that’s not going to work.”
