This is also why there are so many more Gen X and Millennial Republican politicians than Democrats or farther left.
There's big money in right wing grift, and it's easy to get that money if you want to run on those platforms.

This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.
As fields like journalism, art, and academia were collapsed and living expenses skyrocketed they came to skew increasingly toward people whose families could afford to supplement their income.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic
That third thing is unsustainable long-term

I like to make bourekas de calabasas, a Sephardic Rosh Hashonah food, for Thanksgiving. For some reason, I'm having trouble finding the sheets of phyllo dough that are usually easy to find in a freezer case.

On Nov. 22, Vahid Abedini, an Iranian Studies professor at University of Oklahoma, was boarding a flight to attend the Middle East Studies Assn mtg in Washington, D.C. when he was detained by ICE.
OU Prof Joshua Landis says "he has been wrongfully detained because he has a valid H-1B visa."

One of my best days on Twitter was when I said I like men wearing flowers and a bunch of men sent me pictures of them in flowers and none of them hit on me. 🥰

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow."
It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

🎵🎶I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book
And suck my blood, break my nerve, offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
I'll only stand here
Waiting for you, all my sins
I said that I would pay for them 🎶🎵

i want to be more optimistic about technology. however, i refuse to be exited about billionaires using tech for oppressive systems. i’m a star trek girlie. i want tech that benefits everyone—not a handful of white dudes with pretensions of godhood.

Honestly, usually a guy has to be visited by three ghosts for this kind of visible shift.
Trump's been wearing the same cut of suit since the 80s, so I'm interested to see if his policies change as much as his clothes.

Trump is so malleable, but he's been surrounded by the worst monsters for ~10yrs.
We should have known putting him next to a popular, charismatic person, who's popular for not being a ghoulish monster, would have him chasing that clout instead.
Just full on Care Bear Stare his ass into kindness.

I don't agree with everything in this thread, but it's really well thought out, and there's good discussion ìn the replies. I think I need to make sure I rewatch Home Alone this year.
Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.
