Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

I came across this article on the debate about whether China is socialist/capitalist and whether it's imperialist among the Chinese left. The author themselves argues for capitalist & imperialist, but they lay out different views in great detail.

For me, the greatest comedic role in 21st century US television
Party Down was clearly written and performed by people with extensive catering experience.
It nails the strange make up of catering teams, the absurd demands of ill-mannered clients and the amazingly simple screw-ups that can snowball during events.

I don't go to bat for Jeffries or Schumer often, but too many people yell at them when what they're actually mad about is the fact Donald Trump is president, & it shows badly in the comments here
BREAKING:
New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:
"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

The American people as a whole are in a weird place where they're simultaneously hyper-cynical and totally dismissive of the notion there are like 18 different psyops going on to undermine their belief in the concept of society.
Jesus Christ, at a certain point Gen Z has *got* to give up on this weird combination of antipathy and malaise that seems to be the only way so many of them are capable of engaging with politics.
