the 80s had a high density of celebrities whose authenticity was hard to figure out, as a kid. like, was Mr. T a real guy? he was like that in shows/movies but also in interviews? or pee wee, elvira, max headroom, various wrestlers. even alf was on celebrity squares. it was a confusing time.

i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts
I'd be happy with big non politics accounts.

Every once in awhile someone tries to do another red state/blue state contrast and just describes the social circles they’ve roughly bumped into it. And since they’re wealthy they always wind up picking bougie attitudes too.

this is a tiresome line of sealioning. the government’s regulatory authority exists somewhere between “nothing” and “total control” and while i’m not an expert, i can recognize the ability of the executive branch to make large deals extremely unpleasant to pursue when they wish to.

it doesn't make much sense to blame movement progressives when the *establishment figures in office* had the power at the time to stop the sale and didn't listen to them or grasp the importance of allowing the medium of elite discourse to fall into the hands of a far-right megalomaniac.

Y’all, Democracy Americana is a fantastic newsletter and really deserves your support (and is not Substack)
If you’ll indulge me for a second:
The newsletter has really struggled to attract new subscribers since I left Substack - while the monthly churn (existing subscribers canceling their subscription) has gone up significantly.
Not sure what the reasons are. But it is definitely concerning.

Sunday reading:
America is no longer a democracy. That doesn’t mean authoritarianism has won. There is reason to feel more optimistic now than last spring.
But the country needs a democratic transformation rather than merely a restoration of the pre-Trump status quo.

by some wild coincidence, a lot of the people whining about this analogy giving republicans “no agency” also thought dems had to fold in the shutdown because R’s were an immovable force 🤷♂️
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

This analogy goes hard as shit!
if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator
