idk if this makes sense, but whenever I see good resistance art like this, or Kimmel's first monologue after his suspension, and it makes feel some sliver of relief, I immediately get hit with this creepy feeling like I'm watching a memory. Like passing the faded movie posters months after COVID.

Still I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like those expectations are based on a completely unproven product with deranged costs and hysterical levels of hype.

If you are following the story of The Pentagon's new policy, nicknamed, "you must check with us before you dream of doing any journalism," you may enjoy this update from @status.news

if you're writing a letter and want coverage, my advice is to forget the letter. find a reporter, go on the record, explain the issue, bring some kind of supporting material or data with you, and then offer them an exclusive. you can put your letter online and make them link to it.
