More fact than opinion.

Definitely way more opinion than fact.

Her powerful healing imagery and words spoke for so many of us who were traumatized after four years of explicit hate mongering, division, lies and an insurrection.

Sorry you could not feel her beauty and truth telling …

I can confidently say that you’ve had issues long before.

True but I am not unique. To be human is to have issues.

Poets paint images and concepts with words that articulate parts of life that everyday discourse alone can’t express. She does that really well.

Your issues are you thinking you are a victim. I am God as much as she is a poet.

Your issue is trying to reduce online strangers into safe and predictable cliches.

Anyway back to the point here.

You as God V Amanda as poet

AG credentials
AG is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, an award-winning writer and cum laude graduate of Harvard University.

Your credentials
Unknown. Have you walked on water, made the blind to see or raised anyone from the dead recently?

Now you get it! I haven’t walked on water or made the blind see. Which is why I said she is a poet as much as I am God. Glad you got it now!

Righttio Emmanuel (Gid with us)!

There is a fatal flaw in your theory. Region comes from the Alston religio meaning bond of social relations that unite individuals and connect them to something bigger than themselves - AG is actually acknowledged as the US youth poet and performed at a presidential inauguration. Many were deeply moved by her “athe Hill We Climb” poem.

How many people worship you in a faith community/ church/ synagogue/ temple ?

I heard her speak on inauguration day.
Meh. When I hear that breathy cadence of with self important pauses between words, I just think - ugh. Like Patti Smith, Laurie Anderson, Meredith Monk who seem to think their work is SO deep. They have zeitgeist appeal and will be slowly forgotten about, like the names I just mentioned above.

^^^ I am clearly a mere mortal given my terrible editing … 😀

Right, Emmanuel (God with us)!

There is a fatal flaw in your theory. Region comes from the Latin religio meaning bond of social relations that unite individuals and connect them to something metaphysical greater than themselves - AG is actually acknowledged as the US youth poet and performed at a presidential inauguration. Many were deeply moved by her “The Hill We Climb” poem.

NP. We can all be called a “poet.” Means nothing.
I can call myself a doctor but I don’t have the credentials for that.

My MIL calls her Christmas rhymes bragging about the family 'poetry'.
Lines like, 'she is so so so special'.
The large number of sos are an attempt to compensate for the lack of vocabulary but needs syllables to keep the meter of the rhymes.

Aziz!! I don't even like him but that was the one that killed me. It was so obvious that woman was having visions of being his girlfriend and then he had the audacity to treat her like a booty call (didn't even ask what kind of wine she preferred!) And she wanted revenge. It's a situation every woman can relate to but the solution is to NOT hop into bed on the first date, not to ruin the guy's life.

99.9% of celebrities (men and women) have plastic surgery and lie about it
J Lo is not a good singer or actress and appears to be dehydrated
The Real Housewives shows are unwatchable
Steve Martin was never funny
Bob Dylan is overrated
Elon Musk and Grimes were a cute couple
Joe Rogan is a good host
Justin Beiber is a decent pop singer, but has completely dead eyes
Megan de Stallion is actually Mother Majesty

I agree with all of the bolded. Especially Aziz. I am sure that WW kills brain cells but I have not watched enough of her to confirm. I think JLo knows she really can't sing but she works it, so credit to her.

I could not get into Offspring even though it should exactly what I should love in a show. I gave it 5-6 episodes and finally gave up.

Agreed! As a youth, I was heavily into movies, read monthly movie magazines, and paid a lot of attention to the Oscars. The year Forrest Gump won the Oscar, I made a clean break with all of it and never went back.

I did the same thing when Crash won the Oscar for BP.

OMG YES.

Both of those shows should be sponsored by Valtrex.

ugh, don't remind me. Crash winning Best Picture is one of the most baffling Oscar wins that I can think of, since I started watching the telecast in the early 90s. It's terrible.

Even if they weren't going to give it to Brokeback Mountain, *all* of the other nominees (Capote, Good Night and Good Luck, Munich) were lightyears better than Crash.

Don't particularly like Forrest Gump either, but I'd watch it any day over Crash.

Did you watch the HBO documentary? I had no opinion before that, but the documentary didn’t look good for him.

Documentaries are shown from the light Directors/Producers want them to be. Look at all the people who actually believe Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain.
