one thing about lobbying that isn't JUST the corruption and bribes is how it creates a framework that the 'proper' way to do politics is in private where nobody hears about it nor can cause a fuss

this also feeds the corruption but there is plenty of just wounded ego whenever shit goes public

god the party's choice of rallying around gideon was so stupid, shows how little they actually think about any state that isn't their own and how unaware they are of how separated they are from actual people. "yeah, we know what people from portland to rockland love and connect to: freeport"

i'll say at least this, schumer pushing to get mills in is far better calculated than the dem's choice of who to get behind last time, a lady from freeport who wore patagonia instead of LL bean in motherfucking maine and spent time asking for donations on the DAY OF THE ELECTTION

whenever this shit is pulled i just wanna ask "hey have you ever said a movie or album just Sucked and no more nuance than that. or liked a musician's earlier work but not their newer stuff and didn't include a whole buncha stuff contextualizing why their output might have changed."

lol god i know you know but it really does drive me crazy. everybody gets glib and off the cuff in their criticisms of works in other fields by other kinds of artists, but when it comes to their own expect it to be buffered with deep knowledge of the field and compliment sandwiched, at minimum

anyway, (keeping a tally of whenever comics people feel completely free to critique and get frustrated with artwork in mediums they don't work in themselves, music especially)

Colin Spacetwinks @spacetwinks.bsky.social · 2d

remembering when an artist in the industry mildly critiqued someone's panelling in a page for a venom comic and everyone leapt to shit down his neck

comics really has a rigidly enforced 'good vibes only', huh. any negativity or frustration, no matter how mild, to be kept solely to the self

people get the same way about published artists of all kinds, "i wish they did more of (x) instead of (y) now" but i guess it's different when it's an 'official' work so to speak

but then, we've seen official published artists react the same way to such errant thoughts from readers and peers
