Don’t mind me just tracing the gyres. Talk about politics a lot but mostly want to talk about Stevie Wonder and August Wilson. She stay in the hills, he stay in Atlanta, I pay for them both.

1) What was the last work of art, in any genre or form, that changed your life?
2) When was the last time you changed your mind about anything, big or small, and why?

Well, I submitted my graduate school applications! Infinite thanks to those of you who so so so kindly looked at my work. Truly wildly generous of you. Hopefully I’ll get into one of these great programs and be on my way to getting the hell out of TV and towards academia. :)

this is what the republican party fall is going to look like. people who think MAGA rubes are going to fall to their knees and repent are fooling themselves, it's going to look like "i'm a conservative, but not a republican, and not a maga republican", this is what it looked like in 2007, too

Brb imagining the world where Cheyenne Jackson takes down alternate universe Trump, a notorious Broadway producer, with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Like Trump is def a sex pest in most universes in which he exists. I think he is only President in like three and only this miserable in this one.

Ofc, this version of Trump probably still becomes a bitter right-winger when he gets canceled for sleeping with the chorus boys and girls of the shows he produces. :/

the knives out movies are good because they don't focus on the detective, but that's because it's an old staple *of the mystery genre* and not a random choice. a lot of new mystery stories focus on fleshing out the detective & giving their whole life story, but a lot of classics aren't like that.

Why do mice like cheese? Is that real or just a myth? Is cheese calorie dense? I assume that animals that eat human food generally prefer calorie density?

Need to do some research but also write a poem to figure out when Johnny Reb entered Donald Trump’s heart. I suppose it was at the WHCD that Johnny Reb totally overshadowed Trump, right?

I think people are really underestimating Alaska, as I have been posting all year. And Sullivan is basically voting with Murkowski on everything now to try and look "independent."

IFS is just applied Plato but a lot of folks need to apply that damn Plato and bring their appetitive parts into their proper place through the warm embrace of a properly re-embodied reason.

You can’t be surprised by Trump making the tragic murder of a Hollywood icon and his wife by their son who has experienced homelessness and addiction all about Trump, as he is a malignant narcissist. But it is like… really unhinged and scary to see.

With the rising interest in liberal socialism, I would like to propose a counter-movement called republican socialism, chiefly to confuse low-info reactionary voters into preferring liberty defined as non-domination over liberty defined as non-interference

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Increasingly not about who can make good or bad arguments but who has enough power to apply legitimation measures (eg publication in a “prestigious” magazine) to their psychological needs.

Anyway, surely if progressive women and people of color just stay quiet and don’t organize to create change, then fascists like Fuentes will just melt away. Right? <sarcasm>
