    I have a new short story, “The Old Man in the Piazza,” in the New Yorker today.

    " 'Very well,' he says, and with those two words he abandons the neutrality of a lifetime": a story by Salman Rushdie in The New Yorker Monday.

    SGOTUS. Second Gentleman.

    and - so exhilarating, a woman of colour Vice-President - and one full of warm-hearted energy and tough intelligence; crack open that second bottle of bubbly for that - for Kamala/Mamaleh is herself a bubbly powerhouse. And is Doug now FHOTUS?

    Nonsense. They have no idea how much tears of pain they will have to shed in the next 4 years when Biden and his family earn millions and they starve.

    Cheering and singing in the street. Banging of drums, ringing of bells, honking of horns, shouts from windows, and many happy tears. New York City explodes with joy.

    Lire « Quichotte » de chez : « Toujours inspiré par le réalisme magique, Rushdie n’hésite pas à manier la satire, l’ironie, la métaphore et la mise en abyme. Le résultat : un roman majestueux aussi bien sur le fond que sur la forme. En un mot : génial ! »

    It must be fun being an asshole who doesn’t care about the dead.

    The Dow Jones Index went up over 200 points because of the supposed "steroid high tweet." It must be fun being a rich author who doesn't need to care if America's economy tanks.

    How to brush aside the tragedy of 210,000 American families in one steroid-high tweet.

    I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
