Curtis Sliwa is the kind of guy who ends up in a conflict wikibox
A guy from Infowars circled the room like a vulture.
People sporting 'Anti-Mamdani Social Club' shirts.
Plenty of red berets, but not a single red MAGA hat in sight.
This is just a snippet of Curtis Sliwa's watch party.

I wonder if this is how normal people felt in the 1st centuries (BCE and CE) seeing all the weird intermarriage stuff going on with the Caesarist Roman political factions and then the Julio-Claudians

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

The first time I saw Levitation Room perform was at a small venue 8 years ago, and their music felt like watching time bend. I had the opportunity to sit down with them and write a short piece on their psychedelic musical journey

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Parmenion - “I would accept the terms the Persians offer, if I were Alexander”
Alexander - “I would too, if I were Parmenion”
