One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires. He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they can talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime. CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

Huh. They did another study on Kessler Syndrome (the cascade event where one orbital collision cascades into a permanent storm), and they put it at around 2050 now, unless the rate of orbits slows down. robertvanwey.substack.com/p/the-immine...

While Facebook is pushing every Instagram user to Threads, and Twitter is desperately trying to shore up its collapsing user base, Bluesky is picking up steam — currently nearly 24 million users — because people actually enjoy using it. Go figure.

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

You know what these two rich men have in common besides being named to positions by Trump within a day of each other? They are the father-in-laws to his two daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany. Such brazen, mob boss nepotism.

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40. You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.
