I’m enjoying Ultra. It’s about Nazi infiltration of the government during WWII. It’s very well done.
Also, Lawfare and the related podcasts are never miss for me.
That’s a terrifying fact about your legal system.
To decent people, their regularly scheduled programming should be Kompromat enough.
That’s a surprising and insightful comment. I never really thought about it, but you’re absolutely right.
Merrick Garland is such a disappointment.
She really is a natural at this politics thing.
Too much eye liner. Still looks like Vance.
Bo Jove, I think he’s got it!
I still maintain that the live feed I saw of the Russians shooting at Zaporizhzhia was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on TV. It was scarier than 9/11. It apparently continues to be so.
I agree! As a lifelong member of the community, being de facto represented by drag queens has been a cringeworthy experience. They’re character actors who do not represent even close to a majority of the larger group. The loudest, most obnoxious members of any group should not be allowed to hog the spotlight. It ruins the ability of the larger group to form political alliances. Gangster rap doesn’t represent black people. Jihadists don’t represent Muslims. Karens don’t represent white women.
Years ago my Bible-thumpy step mother was showing decent progress on accepting us when she was invited to a birthday party at a drag club. She went, trying to be hip, and a drag queen on stage came down and literally grabbed her hair and humped her face for the lolz, causing her whole project of acceptance to come crashing down. I guess the queen was roasting her verbally, painful enough I’m sure - probably she was dressed like Nancy Reagan, which is going to stand out - but then the queen physically accosted and humiliated her. She stopped giving a shit about our tribe after that. Can you blame her? Centering obnoxious outliers as representatives is bad strategy.
Are we supposed to slip onto the tracks and just grab onto the train? Is it safe for us to ride to work clutching the windshield wipers? How much does salt cost? What’s Dorval Carter’s salary again? Will dignity ever return to the CTA? Should we use one of the hollowed-out insane screaming passengers as a sled? Who has salt? When does accountability happen?
Yea!
