Yeah Enco,

Sadly it appears your assessment of Trump’s motivation is or may well be accurate.

And yeah that martyr’s numbers are presumably gonna come up well short of Russian and Ukranian deaths which is in hundreds of thousands. Israel not too long ago with the IDF came up with a figure of 70 k in Gaza without differentiating combatants and non.

Anyone notice this story?

The reckoning is coming.

Strega and what she said…concur

@Reg.  Stunning.

True dat.

Flat affect writing is not exciting. And the metaphors feel so fake.

Jake maybe it’s not conveying the movement of passion, choosing words that lead to a steady unemotional blank landscape. We like our ups and downs 🙂

Strega,

I was writing a story and alternating paragraphs with meta and while the syntax and flow of AI was great there was a sense i got of it being stilted. Not good literature. Hard to explain. I don’t know why it would not imitate Dickens, Steinbeck or any number of authors.

Funny thing though, Reg. Your first post was really readable, pulling the reader into your perspective and quite compelling.

The AI post was boring and skimmable without engaging the reader at all. I’ve rarely seen such a clear example of the gap between human and non human communication.

Thanks, Reg!!

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

You’d be thoreau.ing it away. Every moment is precious. Not if it is blocked. Locked and loaded or blocked and unloaded, loaded and fired.

Writ of habeas corpus.

Corpus Christ.

It hangs in the balance. Ideas that central figures must honor or else!

This just in.

Donald Trump was caught telling the truth. Shock to his central nervous system has resulted in his placement in intensive care. Is expected to make a full recovery and resume his mendacious cant.

Don’t knock sexual repression. It is great for creating teenage and early twenties suicide bombers.

Here Pope.

Your query is so very…

Pope,

I like how that guy in the vid rhymes Trump and chump.

It is also kind of amusing he sees Trump as the most imbecilic and narcissistic and yet he says he is gonna die soon and have to answer to his maker. hahaha

Ya know it has occurred to me over and over that not one reporter who questions Trump has the gumption to ask him to justify…[Read more]

Enco,

Who is Auerbach? You are not talking about Red are ya? The all time great basketball coach of the Boston Celtics who would light a stogie during game when the issue was decided or a foregone conclusion. Would also take out his buddies weekly to his favorite Chinese restaurant where he held court and entertained his guests.

I doubt that is…[Read more]

Enco,

De rigueur has many spellings and most of em aint propuh including my de rigor stopper.

Don’t give ALL enlightenment figs too much credit for being divorced from their contemporary biases. Diderot for instance was a Jew hater. Voltaire not much more enlightened in that manner.

Keep in mind that it is ultra important that criticism of…[Read more]

Simon there is one major exception to the vulnerability and feeling unsafe as a result of a political statement. Jews. It is not only tolerated it is deriguer to make Jews feel unsafe and unwanted.

54 percent of Americans are dead nuts certain of God. Yeah there is hope for us.
