What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard. Tweets speak for myself only.

  1. This is highly reminiscent of when a crony of the Commissioner decided to start selling stuff from the Baseball Hall of Fame's collection for his personal profit, with evidently much higher stakes

    Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

  2. Patrick Deenen does this shit too.

    "I DON'T WANT TO TOO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, I WANT SOMETHING FAR MORE RADICAL"

    "ok what would someone who agreed with you with command of state violence actually do?"

    "whoaaa hey I'm just a little guy, I'm just a little guy and it's my birthday, c'mon"

    He’ll say something utterly wild out of nowhere, like how the U.S. is going to turn into Syria, and whenever he’s backed into a corner on anything, he just says “well obviously there will be contradictions” or something like that.

    Jon Stewart is a myopic centrist who the public still thinks of as a left winger because he was one of the only anti-bush people they allowed on TV in the aftermath of 9/11

    FARGO, just a totally perfect screenplay from front to back

    in your opinion, completely subjective, no metrics and no judgment, what are the best written movies of all time? I don't care if you have never seen a screenplay in your life, just which story itself is the most moving and complete and perfect to you?

  6. Precisely this. The next Democratic government will have to be a systematic effort to restore democratic values and equal citizenship, and by definition this has to be a partisan effort bsky.app/profile/jame...
