Oh, no. This one really does hurt. Patrick Stewart has passed away. Rest in peace, Captain.

I am absolutely convinced that Trump is on some cocktail of mediation that sends him delulu at times. A number of the more insane posts appear to come late at night. Something he's taking for sleep maybe?

There should be more exams like this. Can you think about things? Can you write about them? That's the test.
Today I learned about the All Souls examination, which is reputed to be the hardest exam in the world.
To even be considered, you need to have a degree from, or be a current graduate student of Oxford.
Hundreds of people sit and only two people pass every year.
Attached is last year's general exam.
Before I saw it, I wondered, how hard could it be.
Well, it turns out…it's "Defend ghosting.", "Does a pope matter?", and "Is body language a language?" hard:

A structure anchored to mood is legible only, intermittently, to one person, and everyone else is stuck trying to reverse-engineer a signal they were never given access to.
I now come out of this with crazy reverse-engineering skillz.

Emily Wilson compared Anne Carson to Rupi Kaur.
"Be Canadian. Be zany. Be moody. Be relatable. Write about your mother. Write about desire. Write about trauma. Write about loneliness. Write about grief. Write about nature. Write about the body. Invoke universals. Make it mythic. Tell it slant. Do not use rhyme. Do not use meter. Use short lines. Leave a lot of space on the page. Juxtapose your words with quivery line drawings in ink or paint or collage."
I have a feeling, Wilson won't be invited to the Nobel ceremony.

Don Jr needed a Russian oligarch, two islands, and a fireworks show. I got married on the rooftop of an apartment building in West Hollywood. It was so much cooler.

Directors Peter Bogdanovich and Orson Welles shopping together somewhere around 1970s. Down on his luck, Welles lodged with Bogdanovich for two years in a spare room at the younger director's Beverly Hills mansion.

Ask yourself why they're working overtime to convince you that Israel is responsible for everything that is bad in the world and your own government bears no responsibility.
CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou: "A friend close to the president told me there are 10,000 JFK assassination documents that will never be released - because every single one points directly at Israel.
Israel was angry that JFK wouldn't give them nuclear technology and was actively trying to stop them from acquiring it. So they decided to take him out."
