@amnanawaz.bsky.social Nice puff piece on Charlie Kirk & his MAGA Propagandist, bigoted, manipulative organization the day after the American people totally rebuked Trump. Stop normalizing Trump/Vance ignorance & misinformation cloaked in religion. Journalism should reflect reality, not BS.

@kqedforum I'll never forget Roger Ebert's review of "Shakespeare in Love" -- "This film is the reason I go to the movies". This is the reason I love film critics.

Tell Judy Woodruff @pbsnews.org That Charlie Kirk did not engage in "debates". He was a MAGA propagandist who used well rehearsed ploys and manipulative format to spread bigotry, lies, and misinformation. And stop normalizing Trump's pathological lying -- which is every time he opens his mouth.

Having watched this in ‘62, one can only say that the contrast to today is painful to behold. We never could have envisioned a narcissistic Russian asset literally and symbolically destroying our heritage.

And now we have the ballroom, to be built in the historical style of LBJ's underwear -- with gold trim. What a gauche narcissistic fcking moron.
I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower
