“nostalgia for a rose-tinted world is an engine of fascism”
a lot of people would do well to remember this, but they’re too busy trying to pretend their rose tinted goggles are clear eyed objective assessments of craft

Tim Curry is somehow terrifying in Clue, nothing has ever made more sense than this
Tim Curry auditioned for the part of Judge Doom in Roger Rabbit but they thought him too scary for the role

Because aspects of it are a paean to a world before which was better and nostalgia for a rose-tinted world is an engine of fascism; because very few people like to believe they're the evil empire; and because good vs evil narratives are a bedrock of propaganda.

In 2026 I am no longer going to fight with plants that keep trying to die and I will simply let them have their wish and replace them with new different plants that are more cooperative.

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right
Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

lol when women challenge the indignity of sexualization even in the most trivial or gentle ways, men absolutely piss themselves.
So, let me get this straight. Some weirdo mods bigger boobs onto a video game character, a trans journalist asks why, and the internet hounds her off Bluesky? The fuck is wrong with y'all?
Parker Malloy, you did not deserve this shit.

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

If you studied history, gender, and sociology this moment in America is terrifying and hilariously enraging. Men (especially white men) are the obstacles to human progress at every turn. And they refuse to consider it
kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

I think a lot about January 2021 as a moment when the choices were evident at the time and all the ones with power made the wrong ones. If we are lucky we will have another such chance and hopefully do better.
This is why, even if there is a big electoral defeat for the GOP in '28, the Dems need to ruthlessly strike while the iron is hot and dole out real consequence to the major and minor players here. Four years later and swing voters will no longer believe any of this is bad.
My dad a day after 1/6 was rattled, borderline horrified. Two weeks later he was asking me how I could get so worked up about a walking tour of the U.S. Capitol. Propaganda works!
