(Of course I think this is wrong and disturbing & am happy to collect whatever peanuts the class action suit brings.)
Meta AI missed two of my four books, the f*ckers! Plus among the dozen or so poems & articles they did pirate, they missed a TON of online content, prose & poetry that I've published over the years. What am I, chopped liver?
My daughter and I were supposed to fly to Athens tonight. Given what I'm reading about the chaos caused by the fire near Heathrow, I'm gonna go ahead and say that I have finally found a silver lining to her timing in breaking her tibia so that we had to cancel our trip.
if O'Hara's "my heart is in my/pocket, it is Poems by Pierre Reverdy" was intended as an echo of that. After all, the lines end "A Step Away From Them," a poem aware of death in the middle of life; the poet-persona who describes the midtown scene is practically drowning in what he describes.
Leafing through The Hand of the Poet, a book of images of poems in handwritten manuscript from about 30 years ago, I come across the information that Shelley drowned with a volume of Keats doubled back in his pocket (it helped identify his body when he washed ashore.) And suddenly I wonder...
"USIP employees called the Metropolitan Police Department and reported it as a break-in. Police cars were outside USIP headquarters in Northwest D.C. Monday evening."

If you want a little lift listen to VP Twerpypants Vance booed at the Kennedy Center.
It's not about Trump. Trump has shit for brains and for morals. It's about getting people who do care but feel helpless or passive to take action.
In which I read "Fasces," one of my two poems in the latest issue of the The Ilanot Review. Fasces are bundle of rods with a projecting axe blade, carried in ancient Roman processions as a symbol of power, also used as an emblem of authority in Fascist Italy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3F...
Michelle Obama just announced a podcast she’s doing with her brother
Huh, so you're saying they only care about this stuff if there's a possibility of being elected, not because it might be the right thing to do to use their platform to try and get people to resist and get out on the street? Like, they have so much money it won't touch them and screw the rest of us?
Are you suggesting that they should sulk? What exactly would that achieve?
Obama, both Clintons, Biden, and Harris should all be speaking out, loudly, and urging the populace to action. Have they been doing this on some media platform I haven't seen?
Musk is doing his best to destroy America. He’s the traitor.

Finally straightforward political commentary from the documentary film makers. Well done.

Okay metallic and reflecting dresses are the red carpet thing this year. Fine! I like Halle Berry’s best so far. Do I like Chalamet’s yellow suit. Do I even like Chalamet? Not sure…
Coleman Domingo has the best suit
I wish to invite all the protesters from campuses last year, with whom I sympathized, now to turn out against the current American government.
