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 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

based on the very little I’ve seen, I think Matt gets closer to Henson’s mannerisms/facial expressions—the “soul,” for lack of a better word—than Whitmire ever did

Sure…but also no subsequent muppet performers have been able to replicate the movements and reactions of Kermit. Complaining about the voice is just shorthand, as it’s the most immediately noticeable.

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...

According to the new #TwinPeaks book, "A Place Both Wonderful and Strange" by @scottmeslow.bsky.social, this is how editor Duwayne Dunham initially wanted to start Part 1:

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.
