i think the thing with art, ALL ART is that its interpretation and the feelings an audience will take or bring to its viewing is going to be deeply subjective. If anything, the thing i find the most frustrating about basically all discussions on art that they feel so surface level.

everyone on book social media is all uwu and arguably doesn't actually process the books they read or they're curmudgeons who scoff at the mere thought of enjoying a book written in this century and genuinely it sounds so exhausting.

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this:

America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd tonite by suffocating him with nitrogen gas, an experimental method that appears to be agonizing by most available witness accounts

read Lauren's important reporting on Boyd's case and the death penalty in Alabama boltsmag.org/alabama-nitr...
I met Anthony Boyd in 2018, when I was working on a story about Project Hope, the death row anti-death penalty group he now chairs. He told me he'd been involved with drugs in Anniston & had his problems with the cops, but wasn't involved in Gregory Huguley's death.

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts
No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Something i find deeply frustrating about some of the *CE reporting is how much of the conversation is that these people "didn't do anything wrong". because theres that unspoken specter of once you commit a crime you no longer deserve rights or to be treated as a human being.

i know i really like a book when i see negative reviews pointing out something and im like "what the fuck are you talking about" and then keep thinking about how wrong they are

Robert Badinter, the lawyer and former Socialist Justice Minister who pulled off the abolition of the death penalty in France in 1981, died last year. Today, his body is being moved to the Pantheon — one of the highest honors France can bestow.
