It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.
Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats

TIL that friends of Jamie Lee Curtis hired Bud Cort to do a striptease at her wedding shower, and that nobody enjoyed the show more than her mother, Janet Leigh.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

I love how English record buyers of the ‘70s were cool enough that they helped T. Rex, 10cc, and Suzi Quatro have #1 singles…and square enough to do the same thing on behalf of Benny Hill, Telly Savales, and Little Jimmy Osmond.

Pretty sure I've *never* had to apologize for being white, but then again I can't recall doing anything that drew attention to that other than occasionally clapping on the 1 and 3.
