I also think we relatedly saw an explosion of this thinking when Israel invaded Gaza: so many people’s downstream thinking of the 2024 election was so black and white on the Israel issue it helped partially demotivate Dem-leaning constituencies

The ones with double the filling are one of my top-10 foods. Also a core childhood memory: my nana always had them stocked for me when I’d visit her and my grandfather

Also me and why my wife and I no longer live in NYC. Moved home to Cleveland and were still barely even able to afford a home that wasn’t tiny and/or a total project!

This is the biggest thing since 2016 we gotta transform: just inherent doomerism from the same people online who claim they’re the savvy ones in the room

I remember Hanif Abdurraqib sharing a NRSC hit on Dems on Twitter a couple of years ago because it echoed criticism of Biden on Palestine. when I told him he was getting played by sharing it, he told me, “well it’s still true,” which I didn’t expect to hear from a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient!

I’m sorry, dude, but I just can’t take you seriously. I know for a fact you don’t care about anything happening in Palestine; you care about social media clout and points. Get the fuck out of this person’s replies

I’m a cultural Catholic, and despite playing a weirdly important and imaginary role in hardcore Protestant sects’ imaginations, I’m so glad my interpretation of all this shit happens to be the right one. Fuck ‘em

Wait, really? Man, what a loss. One of the best culture writers we had, and more importantly he was a HoF poster
