Real Star War has never been tried.
Yeah, if he's like his boss he may not understand what scare quotes are and how to properly deploy them. But I feel like there's no sense trying to make sense of it. No sober man dares pick this fight, is all I'll say.

but what is a monkfruit tbh

Oh totally. And once you get to to a certain point in life this kind of talk does NOT bother. Quite the reverse! Somebody calls you a "petulant old man" and you're like
a man in a hood says " let the hate flow through you !!! "
Alt: a man in a hood says " let the hate flow through you !!! "

They just gotta send in Trump to talk to the kids again. Tell 'em all about Sex Boat Parties. They gotta learn sometime or they'll just end up woke.

UPDATE: Totally his real name. Nominative determinism strikes again! He was like "I am destined to explore the dark places in the human spirit".

You know I always assumed it was a stage name! But I have never checked.
November 25, 2025 at 2:30 PM
i have no idea. someone needs to wake me up when this becomes important.

Dreher had some rich funder for a while who finally decided he was TOO weird.
November 25, 2025 at 2:25 PM
Good LORD, man, just take the L. This is like watching self-harm. There is absolutely no way Hegseth is actually keeping on the straight-and-narrow as promised because no sober man would dare pick this fight.
November 25, 2025 at 2:24 PM
As far as the music, Morrissey was far more important to me than Cave was! So you can imagine I've had a lot of experience dealing with these questions, heh.
November 25, 2025 at 2:21 PM
Right. Which makes perfect sense, again. You can pick any random Gen X white guy icon from the punk/post-punk era and their politics are generally kooky and/or incoherent. They/we all got as far as "anti-establishment" and many didn't grow much further.
November 25, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Oh, just a right-wing (formerly) Catholic culture-war kinda writer who was infamous for a while, but also sort of amusingly insane. (Liked to talk about demonic possession and shit, which you KNOW Nick Cave would be like "hell yeah brother".)
November 25, 2025 at 2:18 PM
Ha yeah Darnielle is a BlueSky OG and cheerfully talks to everybody. Politics rather left-ish (as you can imagine) but solid! HASN'T FOLLWED ME BACK, the jerk. But I'm not mad.

Sufjan is a delicate flower from the land of Narnia; I don't know if he does politics at all!
November 25, 2025 at 2:16 PM
Yeah. On another thread somebody was saying "oh he's been drifting rightward since his kid died, etc." I can't really speak to that, but I guess people who have kept up with him are aware. (I just enjoy his nineties/oughts stuff! Not a hardcore fan.)
November 25, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Yeah, Cave is uncatergorizable but he's DEFINITELY always been religious in SOME way. Real "spiritual seeker" type of artist for better and worse. People on here say he's gotten way more conservative these days and, uh...seems that way!
November 25, 2025 at 2:13 PM
I remember people knocking Cave for other vaguely "political" stuff but I don't recall what. (White artiste guy, so I'll bet it's the usual "anti-woke" stuff.) But so I guess not entirely out of nowhere.
November 25, 2025 at 2:10 PM
...oh wait it says they had dinner. Never mind. But yeah, it might have just been like "i'm a well known conservative writer and a big fan, etc."
November 25, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Also VERY possible Cave has no idea who Rod is, here, other than a fan who wants a selfie. He's a legendary infamous character to US, but we're sickos.
November 25, 2025 at 2:07 PM
It does! But this is just musicians and their politics. They’re never coherent and they always let you down. Cave is an oddball drama queen spiritual seeker, and so is Dreher. I’m sure they talked about demons and whatnot. It’s whatever.
November 25, 2025 at 2:06 PM
welcome to death row
November 25, 2025 at 2:03 PM
But yeah a “fight club” is not where a bunch of Senators all agree on the importance of strong opposition. “Fighting,” if you will. No. It is when everyone meets in the tunnels below the Capitol, and Sanders and Warren settle all this with fists.
November 25, 2025 at 12:26 PM
It only takes one idiot who didn’t understand the first and second rules. Murphy?
November 25, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Oh totally. I didn’t like the Rolling Stone stuff either, heh.
November 25, 2025 at 12:10 PM
“Guys. So they let us out of prison to go fight in a war, right?”

“Yeah, I guess that about sums it up.”

“Okay but guys. What if — and hear me out here — what if we didn’t?”
