The quality of art is not the quality of the art; if it were, art would begin and end w/photorealism. The quality of art is in the quality of the artist's observations. Some of the greatest novels have workmanlike prose; they are carried by jaw-dropping truths about human life. Or take cartooning--

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.
Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.
And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.
Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

the difference between the solemn, horrified reactions of politicians to violence directed at their peers and their cavalier attitudes regarding violence they themselves direct at civilians is really something

This makes a lot of sense. There are still people who think there are UFOs and gray aliens at Area 51, when we know that facility was used to test secret aircraft like the U2 and stealth bomber.
The Pentagon's ludicrous secrecy is obscuring the truth about UFOs: that they're actually Chinese and Russian spy drones (sorry to disappoint)

So as someone on the technical side of the entertainment industry, it’s obvious what’s happened here. That’s a Mod-truss structure holding up an X that’s been perforated and skinned with mesh for airflow. This is a sign you’d set up for a temporary event like a music festival. 😂
