Pro-Dreyfusard‼️ Captain Dreyfus was railroaded in a scandal! “J’ACCUSE!”
🧵I once suggested to Michael de Adder @deadder.bsky.social, the excellent cartoonist, that I could see in my mind a cartoon of his, of Trump prying the Lazarus poem off of the Statue of Liberty🗽 with a hammer & chisel.

Below, your set list for #LeShow, & examples of Michael de Adder.

🧵From Matt Fuller & @msnowreports.bsky.social,

Clear days on the medical scene, 😒‼️

🧵From a Washington Post story about the new vaccine director at the FDA.

He believes in robust debate, and anyone who disagrees can quit.

🧵From a @nytimes.com story on the Wang Fuk fire, but it’s so depressing,👇🏽.

Clear days on the construction scene: “Protect” windows with flammable foam, then foam appears to have overheated windows, causing them to shatter, pulling the fire inside.

🧵I’d like to bring this to your attention, from the other place,👇🏽:

And people are making the inevitable easy jokes about it.

But WHY is Miller smiling? Why did he pose the leg that way?

Mimicking Trump’s pose after getting shot in Butler, Pa.?

@mjmckean.bsky.social warned me about easy jokes.

🧵I’m glad that our usage of energy here is “negligible”.

For all the size difference, I don’t know that Twitter uses an inordinate amount of energy.

I won’t speak for Facebook & Instagram, which are surely worse, but god knows, crypto & A.I. & A.I. damn VIDEOS are the main miscreants here, 😒!
November 26, 2025 at 4:29 PM
🧵I can’t stand the A.I. any more, I really can’t!

I don’t need regurgitated crap that’s written on a 4th grade level !

From the Washington Post. I guess this is a new thing, 😒.

🧵Another Fuk for you: Wang Fuk Court,👇🏽:

🧵This Bill Pulte guy is getting to be a real pain in the ass, 😒!

🧵You know, from back in the day when Jon Voight WASN’T batshit crazy, that movie DELIVERANCE was about building power plants in Georgia.

A Washington Post story from 2024, actually,👇🏽:

🧵 The regrettable effects of eating too much junket.

Or maybe taking too many junkets, 👀!

🧵Dear MC^2,

I appreciate your Bio pic!

Not your average selfie!

Me, I consider myself a camera.

“I am a camera,” as John Van Druten wrote.

I keep my lens pointed in the right direction!

🧵I could swear I saw a comment today from you about the film WICKED: FOR GOOD, and that you said you don’t currently have a review of it, but the @newyorker.com did a pretty good job.

I love snappy writing, and Justin Chang reminds me of Kasia Boddy’s piece on Dorothy Parker, LRB Vol. 47, No. 16

📔”Dear Diary,

“The other day I was reading the @lrb.co.uk, & thinking about how much details matter, when ALL OF A SUDDEN, I found a typo.

“I was as surprised as if I’d caught a typo in the @newyorker.com. Amazing, I thought.

“And so to bed, dear diary, I must go. Tomorrow is another day.”

🧵JFC, the amount of ersatz gilded CRAP in the Oval Office is driving me nuts, and my late mother, Lorraine Waxman Pearce, 1st Curator of the White House, just told me her body is spinning in her grave like a V-12 Ferrari.

Great day the CDC, 😒‼️

And a little serendipity,👇🏽. “I am a camera.”

🧵I have to say, I need to watch myself: Each time I see the next issue of the LRB, in its protective wrapper, on the floor behind my mail slot, I get excited.

The hunger in me for good ideas & good writing is about to be quenched.

Even the Letters are great !

Even the ads are respectful !

🧵I’m an educated person, and yet, I’ve been playing a LOT of competitive Solitaire from the game company MobilityWare, on the phone app. Just to distract me from the tearing down of the East Wing, & other atrocities.

That’s me there, at N°1., in the Ultimate Tier.

Anger is a great motivator!

🧵I love it when “my” #LeShow arrives, & likewise when my @nytimes.com Sunday 📰 arrives with no foul ups due to a replaced payment card !

Today’s headlines:

“Homeland’s Missions Disrupted by Deportations,” Stephen Miller, Producing.

But “No. 1 with a bullet,” Kit Kat the cat killed by a Waymo, 😒‼️
November 16, 2025 at 4:29 PM
🧵And you know what?

Speaking of “European” roots, there’s a LOT buried racism in the German-derived Trump family, going back to grandfather Friedrich Trump!

And a lot of buried racism in the Dutch, now that the Feast of St. Nicholas is coming up Dec. 5th, with Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet‼️

🧵Have you noticed that Google has changed, for the worse, of course, what else?

Trying to force feed us A.I. generated slop, instead of just SEARCHING.

It looks much SLICKER. Something’s different.

And they must have signed some agreement with X, because all of a sudden, X is more in the feed!👇🏽
November 16, 2025 at 12:43 PM
🧵”This just in!”

A.I. will save America First values‼️

Yippee, 😒!

🧵Sounds like a great article I’d love to read.

My mother was a GREAT letter writer.

Below, a souvenir she brought back from Paris to Washington, D.C., for my sister,👇🏽.

I miss her sure handwriting, taught in the 1940s. She was born in Bronx, New York, 1934.
