So far, if we stop COVID testing we'll have fewer cases of COVID. If we fire the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment will go down. And if we remove all mention of Trump's impeachment from an exhibit, it never happened. Am I missing anything? --- George Orwell

Everybody keeps talking about Superman being an immigrant. They don't mention that in addition, he's not an American citizen. Which means if he voted, he is a felon. #superman #immigrant #illegalimmigrant

My latest poem I DRANK YESTERDAY’S COFFEE TODAY I drank yesterday’s coffee today. I don’t know why. Was it laziness, thrift, capriciousness, desperation, existential despair? No, I think I drank it For the same reason all those people climbed Mount Everest. Because it was there.

Saw Jon Stewart on media coverage of Tapper book/John Oliver on Trump admin's attacks on 5th estate. How much trouble as a nation are we in if the only ones in the media who've got our backs are comedians? It was always thus. It was court jesters who only could be counted on for truth n olden times.

After reading Trump's Springsteen tweet, I wonder: is he just using CHAT GPT to write them? That's what it feel like. "Everyone talks about how great Shirley Temple was-frankly, I never saw it. Too much tap dancing, not enough winning. Give me Sinatra any day! #Overrated #BringBackTalent" CHATGPT

Irony. For ages the left has gone after the right who wants to keep guns in case the government comes after them. It turns out that it might be the left who should have been collecting guns in case the government comes after them.

I think I'm missing something on this Chinese tariff deal. The media is acting like this is a great achievement for Trump. All I see is that he once again caved when he was stood up to.

The question all critics of modern films have to ask themselves is whether their opinion about a perceived lack of quality in movies today says more about the films or about themselves.
