Frankenstein is one of the worst movies I’ve seen this year? Have seen Elordi give several absurdly bad performances now, but I think Wuthering Heights will suit him

It's strange to be struggling financially at this point in my life when I was doing just fine pre-COVID. Now I have two jobs and hate them both and can barely afford to live, though that's going out the window, too, with Nelnet breathing down my neck for student loans again

I understand why Stereogum went subscriber only (or mostly), but it feels bad to be paywalled out of a community I've been taking part in for 15+ years. I've paid money to them in the past but am not in a place to pay out another $50 for a publication.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

seems like the Dem establishment does not think that where there's smoke, there's fire. they do not think that where there is fire, there's fire. but I'm sure they will stand on the charred rubble and say, "now what do we do about this fire?"

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

Imagine if Taylor Lorenz spent time infiltrating and writing about dangerous far right spaces online rather than leeching off private Facebook groups and misconstruing information about liberal organizations. But then her reporting would actually be relevant, and we wouldn’t want that.

So will you all start talking about how Kirk was a hatemonger and the right was prepped to use the shooter as yet another way to demonize trans people, or are you just gonna continue pretending coverage of this has been fine?
