Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."

I would give a million bucks to any reporter who, the next time Trump calls Democrats communists, asks him why his biggest political allies and the rulers he admires most are the most powerful communists on Earth—Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Tim Curry brought the same professional energy to every cartoon and game performance as he brought to his iconic performance of the Devil himself in Legend. He gave equal reverence to all mediums he worked in, and from here in the game slums, I can tell you that’s damn rare. Rest in SPaAAaAcE!”

The poem quote-posted below reminded me of a very old poem of mine, the flipside, so to speak, of Aberg's poem.
The Back Seat

And for an instant, hands out the window,
Bent by the force, awe and sunlight streaming
Through new fingers, formed in that reckless crucible,
Our wonder at the smearing rushing world,
The terminus upon thin wrists:
Joy's pure, wavering shadow.

The final poem in Charles Simic's Scribbled in the Dark (2017)
AT TENDER MERCY

O lone streetlight, 
Trying to shed
What light you can
On a spider repairing his web
This autumn night,
Stay with me,
As I push further and further
Into the dark.

#Grok is 100% the reason why AI is useless. If it can be programmed to slant one way or another, there’s no point in relying on it for anything. Much like its master.

“Living life as an artist is a practice.
You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not.

It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it.

It’s like saying, ‘I’m not good at being a monk.’ You are either living as a monk or you’re not.

We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
