JK Rowling got a full decade of press as a free speech martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe online) and meanwhile none of those types considers it notable that a prominent author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
probably one of the biggest intrusions on free speech by a western democracy in our lifetimes, right?

Would have been shocked and disheartened if jeet had come to this decision easily or lightly, but I'm relieved to see that wasn't the case
I've come around to thinking that Pynchon has a deeper insight into the true American berserk than his almost all his contemporaries (including Mailer, Bellow, Updike, and Roth). That's not an opinion I've come to easily or lightly, because there's a lot in his work that is

My work on Trump's crypto corruption and deals with foreign criminals is cited a number of time in this Congressional report.
🚨🚨🚨 An explosive new House Judiciary Committee report exposes the Trump family’s multi-billion-dollar crypto empire, fueled by self-dealing and corrupt foreign interests, the dismantling of anti-corruption safeguards, and pardons for corporate cronies. https://t.co/xu5e2H0ib7

Trump on Mamdani: "We had some interesting conversation and some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have. But a big thing on cost. The new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old fashioned word but it's very accurate."

Trump takes off the table -- at least for now -- any cuts to federal funding for NYC. "I expect to be helping him, not hurting him, a big help because I want New York City to be great," he says. Trump even says he'd be "very, very comfortable" living in NYC under Mayor Mamdani.
