Alt: a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top - the preceding was the auto generated description and it rules (this is George St Geegland and Gil Faizon, charmed I’m sure)

Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro:
I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints.
I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

my Boomer parents were unambiguously right, here: they raised me to believe that culture and art were every bit my birthright, regardless of how much money we had. anyone who wants to tear down public access to the humanities is stealing our most precious heritage, and that theft demands *redress.*
This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

my sole contribution to Newsom discourse: normies can smell “phony” on him, it’s John Edwards 2.0
he might get nominated, he might win, but he isn’t *changing* shit. at this point in the cycle, we should set our sights higher

q: does this invocation of the “popular left” jibe at all with the fact that the first use of “Epstein class” that many people heard came from Jon Ossoff?
a: no it does not
a: no it does not
There’s a section of the populist left that wants to win internal Democratic Party fights by calling their factional opponents the “Epstein class,” and it just seems really obvious that the populist right is going to hear that as “the Jews” with some very bad results.
Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

Two things that are both true:
1.) American conservatism has always been far worse than voters are willing to believe.
2.) The groyperization of the GOP has been a world historical catastrophe which will echo for generations.

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.
