Howdy, DrContango. Good to see you still rocking. Personally from the photo i
thought perhaps Kushner fancies himself as a guy in the black suits of The Matrix
then, LOL your heading "FABULOUS BOOK REVIEW (SLENDERMAN)." Chuckle, at first, Slenderman? Is that the title of the thin-man's book?
Heh, Disturbed, or Distorted or Damning or Demented History would be more apt than (now i know) Kushner's "Breaking History."
Anyway, the "SLENDERMAN" there led me to something else new to me too:
The Slender Man (also spelled Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forum user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009.[1] He is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face, wearing a black suit.
Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking, abducting, or traumatizing people, particularly children.[2] The Slender Man has become a pop culture icon, although he is not confined to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction, typically composed online.[3][4] Fiction relating to the Slender Man encompasses many media, including literature, art and video series such as Marble Hornets (2009–2014), wherein he is known as The Operator.

Media scholar and folklorist Andrew Peck attributes the success of the Slender Man to its highly collaborative nature. Because the character and its motives are shrouded in mystery, users can easily adapt existing Slender Man tropes and imagery to create new stories. This ability for users to tap into the ideas of others while also supplying their own helped inspire the collaborative culture that arose surrounding the Slender Man. Instead of privileging the choices of certain creators as canonical, this collaborative culture informally locates ownership of the creature across the community. In these respects, the Slender Man is similar to campfire stories or urban legends .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend , and the character's success comes from enabling both social interaction and personal acts of creative expression.[30]
[Insert: Kushner's fantastical will undoubtedly become an urban legend of sorts within the Trump-cult fraternity. The "is not real" just below sure fits too. ]
Although nearly all users understand that the Slender Man is not real, they suspend that disbelief in order to become more engrossed when telling or listening to stories.[31] This adds a sense of authenticity to Slender Man legend performances and blurs the lines between legend and reality, keeping the creature as an object of legend dialectic.[32] This ambiguity has led some to some confusion over the character's origin and purpose. Only five months after his creation, George Noory's Coast to Coast AM, a radio call-in show devoted to the paranormal and conspiracy theories, began receiving callers asking about the Slender Man.[33] Two years later, an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune described his origins as "difficult to pinpoint."[26] Eric Knudsen has commented that many people, despite understanding that the Slender Man was created on the Something Awful forums, still entertain the possibility that he might be real.[27]
Shira Chess describes the Slender Man as a metaphor for "helplessness, power differentials, and anonymous forces."[26] Peck sees parallels between the Slender Man and common anxieties about the digital age, such as feelings of constant connectedness and unknown third-party observation.[30] Similarly, Tye Van Horn, a writer for The Elm, has suggested that the Slender Man represents modern fear of the unknown; in an age flooded with information, people have become so unaccustomed to ignorance that they now fear what they cannot understand.[34] Troy Wagner, the creator of Marble Hornets, ascribes the terror of the Slender Man to its malleability; people can shape it into whatever frightens them most.[27] Tina Marie Boyer noted that "The Slender man is a prohibitive monster, but the cultural boundaries he guards are not clear. Victims do not know when they have violated or crossed them."[14]

Surprise, Jared Kushner’s Book Sounds Like Complete Dogshit
Kushner, the human embodiment of nepotism, apparently wrote one of the worst political memoirs in recent memory.

Will it shock you to learn that Jared Kushner—fixer of the Middle East .. https://www.vice.com/en/article/9kevv3/lets-check-in-on-trump-and-kushners-big-middle-east-peace-plan-shall-we , coronavirus researcher .. https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpp45/jared-kushner-boasted-in-april-about-trump-taking-the-country-back-from-doctors , the human embodiment of nepotism—apparently wrote one of the worst political memoirs in recent memory?
Kushner’s new book, Breaking History, doesn’t come out until Tuesday, but Kushner was pilloried by the New York Times Wednesday .. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/17/books/review-breaking-history-jared-kushner.html .. for the book’s “thoroughgoing lack of self-awareness” in a truly brutal review of his “soulless” book about his very privileged life, including his years spent as a top adviser to his father-in-law on the Trump campaign and in the White House.
Though “political memoir” is well-known to be a cursed genre, Kushner’s book—which was written by a ghostwriter, of course—appears to be particularly vapid. Reviewer Dwight Garner described the tone of the book as “college admissions essay,” such as in this sentence: “In an environment of maximum pressure, I learned to ignore the noise and distractions and instead to push for results that would improve lives.”
Excerpts previously posted online feature illuminating insights like this one, about Fox News’ call of Arizona for Biden in 2020: “The shocking projection brought our momentum to a screeching halt.”

The Times also pointed out that Kushner repeatedly cites praise he received from colleagues, such as: “It’s really not fair how the press is beating you up. You made a very positive contribution,” and “People complain about nepotism—I’m the one who got the steal here.” Very convincing!
Though the book clocks in at a concise 512 pages .. shorturl.at/hOY46 .. —look at Karl Ove Kushner over here—it’s weirdly thin on the details of Jan. 6, according to the Times. “He mostly sidesteps talking about spurious claims of election fraud,” Garner writes. “He seems to have no beliefs beyond carefully managed appearances and the art of the deal. He wants to stay on top of things, this manager, but doesn’t want to get to the bottom of anything.”
Even still, “Kushner’s fealty to Trump remains absolute,” according to Garner, who chose an especially gross analogy to describe that fealty: “Reading this book reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo.”
Incredibly, this book is currently Amazon’s #3 bestseller .. https://www.shorturl.at/shortener.php .. in the “International Diplomacy” category, ahead of two different versions of Machiavelli’s The Prince. It remains to be seen if Breaking History will also be taught in high school government classes 500 years from now.
It’s unclear if he’s seen the review, but on Wednesday, Kushner—whose Twitter bio describes him as a “Husband, Father, Mets Fan”—posted what appears to be his first tweet since he joined the site in 2009. It is, of course, a message to his adoring fans.
“It was the honor of my life to serve the American people under President Trump for 4 years,” Kushner says in the tweet, which is a photo of words with his signature. “Excited to share more about my time in the White House.”

Whether anyone’s excited to read about it, however, is another story.
