Where are my poets, beauty-chasers, woke-slayers, theater-makers, dream-catchers, money-makers, truth-seekers, rump-shakers?

From theater critic to artist — and aspiring entrepreneur.

My first interview as a poet. ❤️

Prediction:

The currently underway steal-the-vote operation in Los Angeles will be exposed and, in doing so, light the fuse for the much larger election-fraud takedown in the US, ultimately leading to revelations that the 2020 election was indeed stolen—starting with the exposure of shenanigans in Fulton County, GA, and Maricopa County, AZ.

The ensuing furor will provide the catalyst to get the SAVE America Act in place before the election in November.

It’s going to get so ugly for Karen Bass and the Democrats over the next five months, they’re going to wish Spencer Pratt won outright in the primary. Mark my words.

@FredSargeant Did you see how Wikipedia is now describing Stormé DeLarverie? ��� I soooo would love your insight, @FredSargeant.

If you don’t know the poetry of Paul Celan, you should. Start with this beautifully written essay on his life and work by @brianeha.

What better way to smash a Pride myth than to RT a debunking 🧵 with 1.1K bookmarks from the master debunker of the "but muh marsha was twanz" myth, @Zombie_Jesus_v3?

California is going to bed on Election Night with a Republican in first place in the Gubernatorial Primary.

This has not happened in 20 years, and has never happened since we’ve had a jungle primary.

Well done, @SteveHiltonx 🥂

California is ripe for change.

@spencerpratt is gonna win this thing!

There are 5 months to expose the rot of failed progressive policies (homelessness, crime, fraud) & offer a new path forward. People don’t have to live like this.

LA, rise up — it’s time to be great again.
Let’s go!

Much of the country is like this. “Oh, I didn’t know it was supposed to be this way.” Now you do.

This is the single greatest paragraph in American literature.

It comes at the close of chapter 93 of Moby-Dick. Young Pip, a Black cabin-boy, beloved by the crew of the Pequod, is inadvertently stranded alone on the open sea. The experience of being lost for hours in the middle of those “heartless immensities” drives the boy to insanity. But in that madness, Melville argues here, is a kind of wisdom. Pip had a vision of the inner workings of all things, and it drove him mad.

On the first day of my final year in college, my literature professor, Dr. Gaines, asked each of us to name a favorite work of art: song, book, film, it didn’t matter. When my turn came round, I opened a copy of Moby-Dick that I happened to have brought with me and read this passage aloud. By the time I had finished reading, Dr. Gaines was in tears. He said, “Class dismissed.” In all the years I knew him, he could never get through this paragraph. It haunted him. It haunts me.

Doug Ellin, creator of the hit show 'Entourage,' is disgusted by LA's decline in recent years and says he publicly supports Spencer Pratt in his campaign for LA mayor.

Ellin's Beverly Hills home was burglarized by masked intruders, and he shares that while 5 years ago he didn't have to lock his door, now he has "15 cameras," "2 German Shepherds," and "3 legal guns."

"I know they were animals because they invaded my house. I know I don't care what their excuses are, like a lot of you f*cking care. I know invaders of homes should get 20 years...Everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem: they're f*cking all putting cameras and high-end security guards because we're all getting broken into. It's not made up, it's not false, and this city has collapsed in the last 5 years. There is no f*cking denying it unless you have an agenda, and I don't know what that is," Ellin says.

"But, you say, 'Oh, Spencer Pratt has no experience!'...What experience did Karen Bass have?...We want to fix this place because we don't want to be forced out. I'm one of the people who made this city look great! I did it for years. I glorified it. I meet people all the time that moved here because of the show that I f*cking created—and they hate it here now. HATE!"

Ellin's comments appear to be, at least in part, directed at the LA Times, who recently published an article, "L.A. is safer than it's been in decades, but crime is an issue dominating the mayor's race."

For his part, Pratt shared Ellin's video to his Instagram Story last week. Safety has been the central theme of Pratt's mayoral campaign.

When my oldest son turned 10 he wanted to invite “P” from church. We were new to that church so I looked up “P” in the directory and sent an invite to his mom. She was incredibly excited.

Birthday party begins at the fun center and the wrong “P” shows up. I welcome him and then pull my son aside quickly.

“I know you wanted to invite the other “P” but this mix up isn’t a mistake, this isn’t your “P” but he’s God’s “P” so let’s welcome him like a dear friend because God sent him to us.”

Turns out God’s “P” was a sweet and shy boy who didn’t make friends easily so this was the first time he had been invited to a birthday party that wasn’t a family member.

He was the oldest and had two younger brothers roughly the same age as my other sons. He only lived a few blocks away and so before you knew it, all the boys were back and forth between our houses all the time.

“P” learned he could make friends and my son learned to trust mistakes and let God decide.

The brilliant premise of Backrooms is that everything—from AI to therapy to nostalgic art—has become a copy of a copy of a copy, making it progressively hideous and deranged. Which will make it bitterly ironic when execs conclude from its success that they need to make 20 sequels

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

I suspect this will be among the most significant tweets of all time. Social innovations have a paradoxical effect of reminding us of long-neglected truths. Just as the trans fad made us once again reflect on man’s hylomorphic nature, so AI will remind us that the intellect is a power of the soul that abstracts universals in order to understand—things machines simply can’t do.
