News never sleeps, not when a public maniac is driving the cycle, anyway. As Monday became Tuesday, the lawyers representing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. P01135809 barely beat a midnight deadline they had to file a response in Judge Tanya Chutkan's court to special counsel Jack Smith's request for a partial gag order on the former president* because the former president* is a public maniac who won't shut up. The filing makes a brief pass at a First Amendment argument, and then becomes an extended fanzine for the former president*, who must be thrilled by its puppy-dog enthusiasm. |

As long as I can remember, I've wondered what it would be like. To be one of those people. The winners. The people who hit the jackpot, who go from normal life to that other kind, where your name is in headlines and your face is on TV, where you get recognized on the street, have your own fan club and Wikipedia page. How would that feel? No, but really, how would it actually feel? And so I want to warn you right away: I still don't have an answer to that question. I've gotten a lot closer, but this is all still so new. It has only been a year since I found myself living my fantasy, a year that passed like a whirlwind, a whirlwind that picked me up and carried me along with it, twisting and tumbling. |

As I lay in bed with the volume turned all the way down on my phone, swiping through Instagram influencers' versions of silent films, and knowing that every split-second decision trains the algorithm to generate an even more addictive feed for next time, I recognize that the people I perceive as "stars" are nobodies to my wife, who will wake up in a few hours and scroll a totally different timeline. A decade ago we watched ABC's Modern Family together on old-fashioned broadcast TV. Now we watch actual modern families who make their own movies for TikTok and YouTube. This experience, shared by millions of Americans, is a viewing revolution as significant and disruptive as the introduction of "talkies." |
