Quote by F Scott Fitzgerald

“This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament”—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.”

“Dear John Twitter (Delete Twitter Sonnet) For a long time I've been backin' away from twitter, but I didn't cut tie completely hoping that it might get better. Now that a far right billionaire baboon has turned it into the internet sewer, there's no point to hanging on to filth, twitter used to be relevant, but no longer. From time to time, colonial morons try to bring back the good ol' days of segregation. It's up to the human society to take charge, and castrate their ambition through isolation. Quarantine rabid dogs by absolute dissociation, To entertain filth is to perpetrate uncivilization.”

“Yeah, I did not have DOGE being the center of the Trump administration before January 20, but it certainly has become the center. And, to me, it's revelatory. You get the richest guy in the world cutting off food for the starving children around the world. Like, that's the essence of what it is. The second thing it is, it's cruelty and ruthlessness. I have had so many conversations over the last couple of weeks with people inside federal agencies when the DOGE boys comes to count. And they are naked in their cruelty, that this agency disagrees with Donald Trump, people here, we don't like what you believe, and we're just getting rid of you. And so that cruelty is kind of naked. And, to me, it symbolizes something that is at the epitome of this administration. These DOGE people, Elon Musk, he went to Penn. The DOGE people went to Harvard, they went to Stanford, they worked at McKinsey. These are not populists. These are elitists. These are conservative microelites who've been in elite universities who play in the elite circles and they want to take it out on their fellow elites. And that's what this administration has become about, a battle between elites, not somebody representing the working class for problems that are real.”
