@JRichWords Not me, but one of my students was raving about this book the other day.

@iamjulesworley @TriciaOhio Including Kristi Noem. And Donald Trump, the felon president

@fionakittymom @TriciaOhio Check your eyeglasses prescription, you are obviously having difficulty seeing. And maybe invest in some hearing aids.

@IsaiahLCarter Do you have eyes to see? A US Senator goes to a press conference, identifies himself, starts to ask a question, and is hauled out pushed to the ground,
and hand-cuffed. Where is the stunt? The stunt queen is Kristi Noem: shame on her for lying, shame on you for believing her.

@blgtylr I’ll use my connections to see if I can set up a match between you two.

@BrianRobMoore We should share royalties (yuk, yuk).

[Michael Moore @michaelfmoore1]

@WendellPierce Bravo. My question is, who will be Desdemona? In the operatic version, with the right soprano, she becomes the tragic heroine.

@esglaude It was a beautiful conversation, the way he looked so deeply at the disease in our history and still gave us something to hold onto. You did a great job keeping it together before such an icon (not to mention your socks).

[Michael Moore @michaelfmoore1]

@RitchieTorres Um… not a word about the genocide in Gaza or climate change: the silence on these issues kept young and progressive voters away. The margin of victory was small. I do hope that you will put some energy into defending the many undocumented aliens who make our city run.

Review | Aaron Robertson’s book “The Black Utopians” mines the tension between “running from hell” and “racing toward paradise,” and finds beauty in seemingly impossible dreams.

“I recenti successi della letteratura italiana all’estero si devono in larga misura a chi la traduce - e la vastità del panorama editoriale che la rende possibile si deve chi lo arricchisce traducendo in italiano romanzi da tutto il mondo” - @vlatronico

@bolanoesque Flamethrowers was a big disappointment to me, after several friends recommended it. The usual life in another “corrupt” country briefly viewed through the eyes of a wide-eyed American innocent. Vapid

@blgtylr (Apologies for the late reply: was on a deadline.)

[Michael Moore @michaelfmoore1]

@blgtylr Please do.

@aaronkfoley I’ve been meaning to check it out. Have you read Marlon James? A brief history of 7 killings?

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Life is always worth living, and there is always hope for the future, even when everything seems to be over. The fact that each of us exists is a unique gift for both ourselves and for others. God never abandons us - He knows how to listen, rejoice, and weep with us.

[Michael Moore @michaelfmoore1]

@a_stille I agree, and am tired of people saying there is no alternative. My sense is that progressives are afraid of having a centrist Democrat foisted on them.

@BorisDralyuk @LAReviewofBooks @LARB_Workshop Did you have blurbs like that for every day of the workshop? I guess I’m a gazza ladra!
