tiresome Twitter "greatest"--"best"--"highest"--"most favorite"--everything hyperbolic, amplified. even a classicist mimicking the simpleminded either/or of MAGAspeak.
maybe the "greatest" poem ever written is five lines long & was written by Emily Dickinson. why not?

I happened upon a Solitary Sandpiper on the edge of the Central Park Pool. Often people tell me my photos look like a painting--this time I agree! This may be one of my favorite all-time photos. 🥰🥰🥰 #Sandpiper #CentralPark #birdcpp

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
