I think we all have or have had, deep inside ourselves, our very own, very private, very special CIA -- and no one can take it from us, because only we can truly feel it, experience it, and define it. Mine is not yours!

Much better word for "privacy" is "power."
As in "We can't expect power anymore." Or, "You have already given up your power by using your phone, why worry about Flock cameras?"

Some have asked me which Shakespeare speeches Jorge Borges edited (improving them, he felt) and recited for us. Now I'm sure this was one, from King Lear.
"It should have one more 'no,'"
he told our group. "Don't you agree?" https://t.co/IlhNPUYyGb

I have a column in County Highway, When Animals Attack. The next issue's is about Pythons in Hollywood. I always draw an important moral!
This story came too late for my recent deadline:
An aggressive mystery animal is attacking people in New Hampshire. https://t.co/6BSoQnYF5x

Borges was led in on his cane by his nurse. She sat him down in front of the small group of us, facing us, in his big dark glasses. He began, after a pause:
"What would you like to know?"
Total silence. Which went on. People too astonished and shy to speak. Genuinely

'Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.”' https://t.co/LHJ0PB5EXx

@walterkirn I remember reading Robert Graves's Oxford lectures where he'd take a stanza from Donne or Wordsworth (I can't remember from whom specifically but of that stature) and tear them apart. Then he'd tell you how they should have been written is. I thought, "Who the hell do

@walterkirn Borges is my favorite author. I found a special printing of Ficciones illustrated by Sol LeWitt, one of my favorite contemporary artists, in our local bookstore.
Any chance you are a fan of Elizabeth Bishop?

@walterkirn The highlight of my literary evening was reading this post--seeing and hearing it quite clearly in imagination-- doubting nothing. Thank you kindly

The highlight of my literary life was meeting Jorge Luis Borges in the early 1980s. He recited Shakespeare soliloquies from memory and told a group of about 5 or 6 of us how he would improve them. Then he recited the improved versions. They were better.
From this we were

@walterkirn Remember when everyone you knew could read a map? And they could use it to get from A to B? Then along came GPS and society unlearned the skill. AI is like that, but for everything

@walterkirn Saturday afternoon. Three tables. One wait staff and a bartender. Her hand held computer-take-your-order thing wasn't working. Stood at the table and asked us to repeat our order three times. Wasn't writing it down. Came back and asked again about one of the items. Th

@walterkirn The competency crisis was here long before AI.
It's a product of this poison we've called an educational system for the last 30+ years.

Sorry to be this way but I'm noticing a front line competency crisis with human beings that may more than make up for any gains we're getting from AI. Now I'm not saying there's a relationship – I'm not saying the competency is going out a technological back door – but, well...

Interesting that many of Borges’ stories are what we now call genre fiction. The Garden of Forking Paths (Branching Paths in the Giovanni translation) is a pocket version of a Buchan spy thriller, There Are More Things an explicit homage to Lovecraft, etc. He had the erudition

@walterkirn O, no… The beagles…
This will be a hard, hard, movie to watch. Really captures the evil. The glibness.
Futurecide.
I wanted to weep with rage just watching the trailer!

Hello, world. Something to show you. A teaser trailer for The Rash, a script I wrote this year for Onset Creative & Nicole Shanahan. The feature film is now in the financing phase. Interested investors may contact me by X DM for more info.
Enjoy. I think you'll get the picture.
