Yes, it's absolutely a parallel work and Chris DeVille cites to it.

I was absolutely aware of the existence of "The OC" and "Grey's Anatomy", but I had no idea that the music industry anchored thematically on them so aggressively and suddenly.

Additionally, I did not grok the role that Pitchfork had in the entire experience. Not one bit.

Take a look! It's good!

Just finished it yesterday, it's a great history.

I was absolutely one of the people who followed this progression in music - mostly in shards from Iraq and Afghanistan - and there are huge parts of the story I just did not appreciate.

If you've ever worried about Losing Your Edge, it's for you.

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

The federal government creates this environment through tax structure,

accordingly it can hold these degenerates to a common standard that 18 y/o PV2s also uphold.

Silicon Valley would be better with regular drug tests. No federally scheduled substances.
If you fail, your 83(b) exemption is rescinded and you’re debarred.

Anyone who claims that Silicon Valley would be better with more humanities education has to grapple with the fact that Peter Thiel was a philosophy major.

“I’m Kirsten Gillibrand and I think applesauce is wonderful, I recently spoke with a board member at TikTok, Barron Trump, he agrees that crypto is the future. Let’s put aside our differences and work on a bipartisan solution for American crypto bagholders: they all get a trillion Melania coins”

If there’s ever been a moment to go all in on “America is different and we reject this” it’s right now.

It’s the only American Exceptionalism worth backing.

If your candidate can’t say it or won’t say it, they’re running for the Applesauce Party, which caucuses with Stephen Miller’s men.

There’s not a tradition of masked police in America,

Ds saying “this is not right; we will hold those responsible & those participating accountable” is the message.

It is a kitchen table issue.

It is inflation.

It is schools.

It is the price of gas.

It is Support The Troops.

It’s the shot.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 20h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This is such an embarrassing way to defend an article. “Here’s our new piece. Being mad at it makes it correct! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU ARE THE COPS.”

Okay, lady, we get it. You like Bari Weiss. That’s legal in America. Nobody is arresting you.

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I like an anecdote about Russia in late summer 1914.

There was one anti-aircraft gun in the entire Russian Army and it was guarding the Czar's palace, more than 1,000km from the nearest potential enemy aircraft's farthest operational range.
