      It is fitting that the photo I used as a background shows people giving what could be decribed as a Heil Trump salute. It was used to illustrate an article in The Atlantic. Here’s the full photo. Here are the covers of two books that I’ve been thinking about: Why did I use the two…

        linguistics,, semantics,

        After I check my email I usually look at HuffPost first thing just to see their top story and this is what I saw today: This was the lead story in both The NY Times and The Washington Post. With Richard Engle reporting from an Israeli bomb-safe hospital…. … I looked at RawStory, the next…

              Trump and Vance and many Americans want to have Haitians and other immigrants hunted down, rounded up, bused to airports, and deported. I made the images above with Perchance Photo AI. I wasn’t able to have the AI program show these people surrounded by armed soldiers, some in Humvees with machine guns, so you will…

                Image of fat Trump made by Perchance Photo AI Trump is doing it again. He’s revealing his delusional obsession with Elvis. This goes way back. Trump doesn’t “merely” reveal an obsession with Elvis in his delusional rants. Added to how he goes off on tangents, spouts word salad, and confuses places like he did the other day…

                  Above: Image from Perchance Photo AI This seemed like a non-story even though it stood out when I looked at HuffPost this morning and saw the story above. She bragged that her kids keep her humble and accused Kamala Harris of not having anything that keeps her humble. By this I assume she means Harris is conceited,…

                    This got my attention on the main website page of The New York Times. I use the word naive in my title not as a pejorative but rather as it is defined: It is a long article. Click here to read it if you have a subscription.  I found it both informative and excruciating to read. There were parts that…

                      Until the other day I never heard of Latin superstar singer Nicky Jam who Trump made even more famous by calling him “she” and saying “she’s hot” at a rally, but like most Americans I’ve heard of Sean (formerly Puff Daddy and P. Diddy) Combs. I knew he was a rapper but not about him being a major…
