@PalmerReport I really hope that with Trump out of office, Putin doesn’t need to keep secret any longer whatever the leverage it was he had over Trump. And in true Bond villain fashion he releases it just for shits and giggles.

@chrissyteigen Good lord, how narcissistic. I popped the essay into Word, here are some figures: Total words: 1127 Number of times "I", "I'm" or "I've" appears: 62 Number of times "me", "my" or "mine": 39 So 9% of just the WORDS were self-referential... and 100% of the sentences

@Kgreenstien There is an epidemic of narcissism in modern society, probably provoked by our addiction to devices and social media. ‘Psychedelic’ means ‘to make the mind manifest’, it makes sense that it’s amplifying pre-existing thought patterns. Mindfulness is more important than ever.

If he had resisted the impulse to kill himself, his story could have had a happy ending. There's a dark twist in that his suicide led directly to his fame, but that's another matter.
