"Andy [Muschietti] doesn’t lecture about politics, but it was very clear to me that, since time immemorial, we’ve been dealing with a kind of insatiability. It spoke to me about these particular times that we’re living in — the fascism."
I interviewed Madeleine Stowe, who told me what she thinks It: Welcome to Derry is really about. She did not mince words. (gift link)

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off

I love it when a rotten politician dies. I'm the first one to jump up and crow about it, callously and often.
A state getting hit by a natural disaster is not that, and however that state went in any given election, it's deeply anti-human to jeer at people living there & tell them they deserve it.

extremely tired of the argument that vague liberal gestures toward solidarity with trans people (of which the worst one can say is ‘mostly unhelpful’) are at fault for the current virulence of the transphobic project. the reason is targeted propaganda laundered by mainstream media. and lobbying
