Anthony Scaramucci is out. It's tempting to view all of this as a reality TV show, entertaining but of no consequence. The real reality is more sobering. We have a president who has no idea what's going on, and a White House in total chaos. We have a foreign policy in utter disarray as Russia, North Korea, and ISIS continue to threaten America. A White House that can't govern poses a clear and present danger to our future.
What do you think?

On Oct. 15, 1964, it was announced that Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev had been removed from office. He was succeeded as premier by Alexei N. Kosygin and as Communist Party secretary by Leonid I. Brezhnev.


To be sure, we in Washington have heard it before. For instance, on former President Nixon's famous Oval Office tapes. When we television reporters had to recite what Nixon had said we used the phrase "expletive deleted." We would say, "On today's tape President Nixon said 'expletive deleted the Jews, the Democrats and the press.'" The press?

美國字典 Merriam-Webster 選出 authentic（真實）為2023年度字，其中一個理據便是 Swift 展示出，在現今社媒年代，無論名人甚至一般人士，都渴求「忠於自我」，「表現真我」成為明星、名人走紅的重要元素之一。

 AI時代模糊了界線，在2023年看到了「真實性危機」

《韋伯字典》表示，人工智慧的繁榮發展模糊了界線，進而激發人們對文字、圖像和影片真實性的興趣。而與此同時，品牌、社群媒體上的網紅和名人也是讓「真實」一詞更加流行的原因，馬斯克就曾說過，人們在社群媒體上應該更加「真實」。
「真實」一詞也受到山姆・史密斯（Sam Smith）和泰勒絲（Taylor Swift）等名人的青睞，他們今年都因為表示將尋求「真實的聲音」（authentic voice）和「真實的自我」（authentic self）而登上頭條。
索科洛夫斯基說，在2023年看到了一種「真實性危機」，「而這使我們意識到，當我們質疑真實性時，我們會更加珍惜它。」
「我們能相信一個學生是否寫了這篇論文嗎？我們能相信一名政治物人是否發表了這樣的言論嗎？我們不再總是相信我們所看到的。」人們有時不再相信自己的眼睛或耳朵，並且已經認識到，真實性本身就是一種表演。
