Artistcally, writers are closer to oil painters more now than ever.

@shkeela1278 Isn't everyone tired of hearing what sucks about America? With soccer in this US and other countries visiting their people have truly celebrated some good about the US that they enjoy. Let the US live without the shadow of the worst things for a week.

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

The history books quietly bypassed is that Barack Obama, during the most pressure-saturated nights of his presidency, would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence — not to strategize, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion across all eight years, selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House, and his longtime correspondence director Fiona Reese confirmed that Obama would often weep privately while reading certain letters, folding them carefully before writing responses so personally detailed and emotionally present that recipients frequently described the experience of receiving them as the most significant moment of their lives, with one Ohio steelworker writing back to say that Obama's letter had physically stopped him from making a decision that would have permanently altered his family's future. What makes this practice almost unbearably moving is the detail that surfaced later — Obama never used a computer for these letters, always a black felt-tip pen, always legal yellow paper first as a draft, always rewritten onto White House stationery by hand a second time, because he believed, as he told historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in a rare private conversation later recounted in her 2018 work, that the physical act of pressing pen to paper forced a quality of attention that typing simply could not replicate, a philosophy rooted in his years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 where he developed the conviction that democracy only functions when its leaders remain genuinely, uncomfortably close to the specific gravity of individual human suffering rather than processing it from behind the insulating distance of institutions and screens."

@elonmusk Shit stirring is fun when you are bored. I do this too sometimes. Glad to see no matter how rich you are shit posting is a thing anyone can enjoy. This seems a little culturally ignorant, but we know who's posting it, so its par for the course.

@philiphanselmo Mouth for War was a nice choice for the set, but what I wanna know was the statement you held back before singing the song. A little political wisdom maybe? Awesome show either way! Thanks for dropping by.

@StephenKing Atleast 10%-25% easy. I'm a conservative & this comes from not trying to find out who is pissed off. Just different friends contacting me.

Who knows why we were taught to fear #witches and not those who burned them alive.

@NBCNews 14 pages must be tough to wade through to actually have a debate. Greene wants attention obviously.

@GemLeighton Love it.

@PhilKlay Where's the silly laugh button? Are you talking about yourself in third person in relation to this tweet? I guess if I really want to know who you're talking about, I'd have to search like a stalker through your author friend list... I'm too lazy.
