There should be a series called The East Wing where every episode is just rubble sitting there with occasional rats darting around.

I assume the Nats were country kids who just figured they were temporarily slumming it in the big smoke?

Isn't "leftists" versus "liberals" an eternal verity? Isn't that the battle at every election?

Yep, student politics is definitely its own kind of showbusiness.

Geez man. I think I did this some time back. But anyway, off the top of my head.

The Wire
Cracker
The Simpsons
The Sopranos
VEEP

Honorable mentions (and there's many others)

Succession
Homicide: Life on the Streets
Green Wing
Ozark
Cheers

I wonder how much any profession or industry that has some (for want of a better word) "glamour" attached to it attracts people prone to mental illness to a greater or lesser extent.

If it can be described as "showbusiness" then it seems prone to that risk.

This is how UK politics has felt to me for a while now. A group of sensible centrists sitting round like the aristocrat and the tourist in that Bavarian cafe, sure they can control this whole mess as ever more of the country gets up and starts singing along around them. Tomorrow Belongs To Me indeed

The devastating, lyrical "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" is as good a book about our current moment as I've read, and @jessielilley.bsky.social @rachelwithers.bsky.social and I are so lucky to have Omar El Akkad on Spin Cycle tonight.

At the very least, I’d think it would be important to be clear on WHY he’s having them removed. He may be clearly renouncing his former beliefs. Or he may just be applying for respectable jobs.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

If you want a deep dive into the background and operations of the Alt National Park Service, I highly recommend this banger of a video by @adenng.com.

And Aden did what I couldn't: he found AltNPS's likely t-shirt distributor, and got us a much better idea of how much money the account is making.
