This @davidjroth.bsky.social joint @flaminghydra.com is the kind of culture writing I love. It’s about One Battle After Another and the film serves as a starting point for a bunch of interesting ideas.

When the fucking around happens for such an extended period of time, it feels like the finding out will never happen. But when it does, boy does it hit. I hope this snowball keeps rolling.

All criticism and all peaceful protest, and any opposition to rising totalitarianism, is considered terrorism -- that's the formal MAGA policy. Journalists are enemies of the people, and Dems, liberals, and Leftist are terrorists now.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
