Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The player who turned me into a #BVB supporter.
The Monday edition of Kicker runs with the headline from its Matthias Sammer interview:
“Sammer says it plainly.”
“German football has lost its identity.”
“Too little personality, too much happy talk, physical deficiencies. Fundamental criticism.“

When I was growing up (a long time ago) DuPage County was one of the most Republican counties in the country.
DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.
This is just getting comical now for the DuPage County GOP, in Trump+1 Addison Township (a rare Republican-trending portion of the County):
-The INCUMBENT Republicans for Clerk & Township Supervisor are LOSING
-Democrats are currently winning 4 out 4 Township Board seats, ALL AGAINST INCUMBENTS!

Does anyone else believe that Newsom giving him a pass was a condition of Bannon to appear? It would explain a lot.
tried listening to the steve bannon-gavin newsom pod.
bannon denies the 2020 presidential election results within the first five minutes and newsom doesn’t correct him.
i’m not used to hearing such high-level democrats let that false claim go unchallenged in a live interview setting.
