good analysis – no chance houses of worship are considered public fora.

Settleroids realizing that the enemy is actually also every latinx person.

even years ago, had a buddy dating a girl younger and he was playing for her a personally curated playlist of all oldies. she didn’t like the playlist, she didn’t know any of the songs. he was incredulous and asked how she didn’t know any of the songs, and she replied, well i wasn’t around then, and then more incredulously he was like, ya, neither was I! – these are just the classic songs!

like, she must’ve never listened to the radio. it’s just crazy and unexpected, that not only does the music changed, but the media by which is passed down has changed, to the degree that people don’t know righteous melody or whatever. i guess i assumed the post-war consensus and the subsequent development of “pop culture” would be a giant text for everybody, but really i was just living in the memories of boomers, their nostalgia becoming my nostalgia, and fascinating that that this will end with me I guess.

catching up on Majority Report and Seder has that Daily Kos era Salon woman on and she is hemming and hawing about how the media and prior state were very unfair to Hunter and how he won’t be able to make a living again. (???)

i guess she’s trying to score a point RE Trump’s family’s frictionless grifts, but like, do you not remember Hunter’s facially corrupt make-work jobs, or the fact that he evidently has a safety net that provides him the means to be a dupont circle layabout who just smokes crack with prostitutes all day. who the fuck cares?

boomer progressives are seriously a different beast.

gorgeous

the real verisimilitudes of a Bannon fly-by-night production, or a deep fake author proverbially/literally taking the piss?

again, thank goodness i’m too stupid to figure out how to gamble my house on this sort of bullshit.

but also everyone please let me know when there’s a wager that’s a sure thing and is being offered on more platforms than Polymarket.

Epstein interview w/Bannon surfaced.

Jumping around and finding it an illuminating portrait of the former – his interest in (or at least Bannon’s framing of) the quantifiable and the unquantifiable, finance and relationships, the intersection of which made him, along with tons of ambition/zero scruples, one of the most powerful men in the world. But there seems to be skepticism RE authenticity with many comments asserting video is an AI/deepfake. What’s the bulletins take? I guess there are artifacts or w/e but these don’t seem dispositive to me and the script itself is p. compelling. Drop Site reposted.

me doing my grocery shopping

is this the time to go to linux or something? is there an easy way to do this without accidentally nuking all my shit

grotesque soul with homely nose:

the finale is a great statement of purpose from Wes – Gustave’s fastidious attention to style and rules, reflecting Wes’s own, counterposed against the boorish cruelty of the fascists; a rebuke of the smoothbrain criticism which reduce him to merely engaging in superficial formalism or twee aesthetics – form is content, style substance, the love that Wes injects into every shot and composition emblematic of a deep appreciation of the World and experience and against indifference (and how true this is – how the fascists love soulless slop, and AI, and hate art and culture).

there’s a lot of hay made out of what can be considered great conservative art ( if there’s truth or beauty in a work which is elides or rejects otherwise correct moral positions)-- never mentioned is that Wes is a great Burkean artist.

they were a crucial component for toxic DNA that makes this site what it is today, surely. 😤

careful! if they come back to power they’re sure to ban you, under the thinnest pretext!

resident scolds prefer sanctimonious finger-waging to rhetoric/policies that speak to people’s materials conditions? i am shocked!
