My recent kinetic poem 'As Above' is featured in Issue #8 of the Surrealist Journal, Peculiar Mormyrid #8.
The poem maps the correlation extreme phenomena has to the unreliability of perception as it plays to one's emotional state.

Don’t know what’s funnier—calling Alan Dershowitz, a man at war with multiple farmers markets—“charismatic,” or throwing it back to Dana Loesch who no one has even thought about since 2018
"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

My three-year-old was reading MAGA Twitter when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why do the people in Pakistan love the nice orange man so much?" And when I told her "Because he's the only American president who never started any new wars," she started crying.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

I’m still enjoying how MAGA Twitter will never live down that they’re all troll farms from Russia and Bangladesh. The whole MAGA ‘movement’ has been fake bullshit from top to bottom from the very beginning.
