Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Like, I get it, but I just don't buy it. It's not that we don't like kings.... it's that everyone wishes they were king. Trump is doing what Americanized Human Nature does: Manipulate everything, be on top of a hierarchy, and clamp down on that spot. We're literally *taught* to do that.

For me, the dream, up until recently (obviously), was James Earl Jones as Socrates. Jones was local to me here in Poughkeepsie, and I remain frustrated that I didn't try hard enough to get him to record himself as Socrates in Apology.

I'm sorry, but Bluesky mods felt they needed to censor a shirtless pic of Bill Veeck? The man planted the Wrigley Field ivy, integrated the American League, and lost his leg in the war from artillery recoiling. Show some respect and look at his man tits, you dorks!!
