Under end stage capitalism, art is the only thing keeping us sane and serves as a fragile connection to our shared humanity. That's why neoliberals and fascists are so desperate to destroy it with garbage like AI. They've already enshittified and commodified most forms of interaction and culture.

For reasons I can’t comprehend, this “corrective” uncritically accepts Atwater’s hasty denial as true, right after he distilled the post-60s conservative approach to race so perfectly that it’s been quoted a million times. Hard to believe he was building a strawman to knock down and nothing more.
The cherry on top of all this is that Grim -- like many people on the left -- get that Atwater interview completely wrong.
Here it is. I criticized Ryan Grim because I didn't think he challenged Christopher Rufo all that hard, and Grim called it "defamation".

Color me shocked, shocked to learn that Kavanaugh Stops are, in practice, brutal, violent, and openly racist.
The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during the Trump administration's Operation Midway Blitz for seemingly no other reason than being Latino.

Here's what they said.

I’ve never seen it and I’ve always just assumed it starts out with “welll my name is Hamilton and I’m here to say…”
are we allowed to talk about how Hamilton is good again yet or is that still, like, off limits

Dear libs: Trump wasn’t so “frail” when he was absolutely railing me last night.

I, for one, cannot get over the fact that our crypto-gay President is demolishing part of the White House to fulfill the deepest wish of every 9-year-old girl who’s watched Disney’s Cinderella at least 10 times.

Quoting Chuck Schumer’s self-description in the NYT: now a blood libel.
October 16, 2025 at 3:34 PM
To recap: young, dynamic leftist who’s outspoken on Gaza runs for Senate. In response, Chuck Schumer, whose “job is to keep the left pro-Israel”, recruits a 77-year-old primary opponent who does annual commemorations of 10/7 as Maine Governor and this tool signal boosts neo-McCarthyist oppo smears.

Oh noes let’s elect Schumer’s hand-picked mummy instead and send more bombs to Israel.

The thing to know about America is that a not insubstantial % of the population wants to do 1929 over again based on the assumption that they’d be Joe Kennedy.

One of the many downsides of having a political system dominated by rich, paranoid donors is the bipartisan projection of their love for the cops onto regular people. Like almost everyone I’ve known outside of cop families hated the cops, far-right to far-left and everyone in between.

I’d add that lesser-of-two-evils voting used to be a gripe about having only terrible people to vote for, but is now a straightforward Democrat pitch consisting of a) their right to be exactly 1% less evil than a 100% Republican and b) your obligation to vote for them when they exercise that right.
the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you
I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.
