“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

A few things: (1) AI should not be used to assist writing. Cognitive outsourcing is bad. (2) The college essay is on the decline because of labor as much as AI.

The last time I cried about a celebrity dying was Kurt Cobain and I was in high school. Mike and I got married just down the road from her estate. We dropped off an invitation just to say she had been invited. 80 is much too young for a spirit like hers to leave us. We will always love you, too.

You don't stop at saying she's Trump's girl friend. You get people used to the idea, then you introduce that she has undue influence. Probably forges his signature, that sort of thing.

This is all another sign of Joyce Carol Oates’ epic takedown of Elon Musk is fundamentally true. Imagine becoming a gazillionaire and not being able to appreciate that eating a perfect backyard tomato mid-summer is the peak of satisfaction and joy. Elon Musk is bankrupt of joy.
Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates from 2025: 

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."
