Joan Didion’s “The Year of Magical Thinking,”奇想之年
1998 年，已故記者瓊·迪迪恩寫了一篇嚴厲批評的文章，批評歐內斯特·海明威在其死後 38 年出版的旅行日記和虛構回憶錄《黎明時分的真實》。 「對他來說，言語非常重要。他為它們努力工作，他理解它們，他深入它們內心，」迪迪恩寫道。 “他希望僅靠他認為適合發表的文字來延續下去，這似乎已經足夠明確了。”
僅僅一年多後，1999 年 12 月，迪迪恩開始撰寫自己的日記，記錄她與精神科醫生的會談過程。她將這些筆記寫給了她的丈夫約翰·格雷戈里·鄧恩 (John Gregory Dunne)，詳細講述了她與酗酒、焦慮、內疚和抑鬱的鬥爭，與養女金塔納 (Quintana) 有時緊張的關係，以及對她的童年和遺產的反思。
2021 年，狄迪恩去世後不久，她的文學遺囑執行人在一個沒有標籤的文件夾中發現了這些精神病學後期筆記。

還沒讀過台灣學生去京都學藝術
Kyoto City University of Arts, founded in 1880, has produced leading painters in the art world. Its policy emphasizes Shasei: painting from life through intensive observation.
e way in which a simple exchange can shape a person's destiny
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart:
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.”
~Margaret Mead
---恐懼和陰謀論如何加劇韓國的政治危機
右翼 YouTube用戶幫助總統尹錫烈贏得了選舉。在他拙劣地實施戒嚴令後，他們現在成為了他的盟友。How Fear and Conspiracy Theories Fuel South Korea’s Political Crisis
Right-wing YouTubers helped President Yoon Suk Yeol win his election. They are now his allies in the wake of his botched imposition of martial law.
谷歌韓國表示，它根據其社群準則管理 YouTube 內容。
諷刺的是，正是 YouTube 幫助尹先生宣布戒嚴令的消息在 12 月 3 日晚瘋傳，促使民眾湧向國會，以推遲軍隊的推進，並為反對派議員投票爭取時間下戒嚴。
「這是演算法不同角色之間的衝突，」洪先生說。 “演算法有助於資訊傳播，但也會讓你成為資訊的奴隸。”Google Korea said it manages YouTube contents according to its community guidelines.
Ironically, it was also YouTube that helped news of Mr. Yoon’s declaration of martial law go viral on the night of Dec. 3, prompting citizens to rush to the National Assembly to delay the advance of troops and buy time for opposition lawmakers to vote down the martial law.
“It was a clash between the different roles of algorithms,” Mr. Hong said. “Algorithms help information go viral, but also help make you a slave to it.”

有些很容易消除：瓊·迪迪安（Joan Didion）的《奇幻思維之年》 (台灣有譯本)雖然讀起來感人至深，但與總統無關。其他的則穩操勝券，標題中就有一位總統。我很快就對這些產生了欣賞：對大衛·麥卡洛的《杜魯門》(台灣有譯本)、馬克斯·布特的《雷根》和《"紐約報"都翻譯成"泰晤士報"》專欄作家莫林·多德的《布希世界》的讚賞。Some were easy to eliminate: Joan Didion’s “The Year of Magical Thinking,” while an affecting read, has nothing to do with presidents. Others were shoo-ins, with a president right there in the title. I rapidly developed an appreciation for those: Shout-out to David McCullough’s “Truman,” Max Boot’s “Reagan” and “Bushworld” by the Times Opinion columnist Maureen Dowd.
As I coded, I often found myself thinking about the limits of presidents’ ability to shape their own legacies.
當我編碼？時，我經常發現自己在思考：總統塑造自己遺產的能力有限。 一些暢銷書——包括卡特先生的妻子羅莎琳·卡特（Rosalynn Carter）和他的白宮辦公廳主任漢密爾頓·喬丹（Hamilton Jordan）的書——直接討論了他的總統任期。但我認為與他有關的其他作品，例如幽默作家阿特·布赫瓦爾德(包可華
何凡)的政治諷刺作品，則將卡特先生視為一場餘興節目，或者是水門事件和雷根先生在美國的早晨之間的一屆減速帶。有時，歷史似乎已將卡特先生貶為一個無足輕重的角色。
A few best sellers — including books by Rosalynn Carter, Mr. Carter’s wife, and Hamilton Jordan, his White House chief of staff — dealt squarely with his presidency. But others that I judged to be about him, such as a political satire by the humorist Art Buchwald, treated Mr. Carter like a sideshow or a one-term speed bump between Watergate and Mr. Reagan’s morning in America. History, it sometimes seemed, had relegated Mr. Carter to a bit player.
故事的結尾充滿了希望：卡特先生的臨終關懷期，延長近20 個月，這將使美國人想要更多地了解他，並激勵未來的作者更深入地探討卡特先生的總統任期間和下台之後。The story ends with a hope: that Mr. Carter’s extended hospice stay, nearing the 20-month mark, will make Americans want to learn more about him — and spur future authors to more deeply explore Mr. Carter’s presidency and his postpresidency, now in its fifth decade.

時尚界代表安娜溫圖(Anna Wintour) 也出席了周六的活動，她是《Vogue》雜誌的長期主編，也是拜登總統授予榮譽的18 人之一。NEW York Times
在她的介紹中，溫圖爾女士穿著一件長及小腿的格子外套，並放棄了她一直戴著的超大太陽眼鏡，她因“用時尚作為一面鏡子來反映我們的文化”而受到稱讚。
In her introduction, Ms. Wintour, who was dressed in a shin-length plaid coat and forwent her ever-present oversized sunglasses for the occasion, was hailed for using “fashion as a mirror to reflect our culture.”
