"So many young faces rapturously singing every word to deep album cuts by The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees, songs I know came out before they were born ... I asked a couple of them – international students from Mexico, it turns out – how they know this music. 'Our parents,' they responded." 🖤

Pop culture today is awash with goth influence, but it pains me a bit to think the youth want the style and not the soundtrack

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
