Thus, it becomes ever harder for public institutions to be 'impartial', when the gap between different realities and 'alternative facts' have become so large. A huge threat to our societies and democracies.

Agree with everything that you've written.
Perhaps leading with fairness makes the most political sense, but to the bond markets a case must be made that cost savings in public spending currently require debt-financed investment e.g. care, homeless, prisons, NHS systems, northern infrastructure...

Yeah this is why I didn't write the blog post because I love Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift. I don't mind things like Soda Pop that are earnestly fizzy. It's when people start saying "Golden" is deep or some shit that I crack. But then it's literally 12 year olds so maybe it IS deep for them.

"Why am I writing this essay at all?
In some sense I am grieving. I’m working through grief. I’m mourning the future I grew up and came of age thinking we would have. Fascism, and overbearing type systems, was something my forebearers dealt with so that I wouldn’t have to."

"To build muscle, you have to push against a force that resists you. You have to move through resistance.
The same is true for strength of character."
Lot of good lines in here.

Plemons is so underappreciated! He's been great since Friday Night Lights in my undergrad days.

I know you're joking but speaking earnestly I hate KPop Demon Hunters. The lyrics are trite and plot are trite even for Kpop kids show. I almost blogged about how depressed it makes me that Audry Nuna's talent is wasted on this sort of dreck. I just hope the money gives her creative freedom.

I'm a little depressed by the number of people commenting here who obviously didn't even take 5 seconds to look at Drew's feed or a minute to research his politics before calling him a Nazi, misogynist or similar. I guess Americans are credulous regardless of political persuasion.
