On Ballet: Fran Lebowitz and Nick Mauss | Live from the Whitney

this was my old pinned post on Twitter, Fran Lebowitz is one of the best to ever do it, just the clearest and most powerful articulation of my beliefs about the arts and their relationship with criticism i've ever seen from another person

this is true but the people who are most confident in answering "yes" are the absolute last people who should be changing things
This is an interesting one. I'm going to answer an oft asked question and I suspect not everyone asking it actually wants the answer.
"Are you saying you know what's best for this game better than the designer?"
I'm saying there's a reasonable chance that is in fact the case.
"Are you saying you know what's best for this game better than the designer?"
I'm saying there's a reasonable chance that is in fact the case.
also idk; "the person in charge of the world also decide the rules and not like the game designer who undertsands the purpose of rules better" is kinda dumb, esp with how many people want to design out any friction. I dont mind coming down on a ruling, it just needs to be an edge case

obviously the federal government can and probably will just go "no lol" if states press their rights on issues like this, but that just means that in addition to doing it anyways governors, state legislatures, etc. should raise a huge stink about it. force the crisis. withdraw cooperation in turn.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

It's interesting to think that there started being a fairly insistent left wing strain in American politics since the W Bush administration which has only grown - and one of the dominant forces in US politics making sure it didn't win wasn't Republicans, but Dems. Hence leftists being sick of them.

really the better question is "what could we do WITHOUT 20,000 ICE agents"
like we could house people in their vacated homes, pay schoolteachers with their salary -- why, the reduction in abuse and sexual assault alone would make the world a better place

"But what do you even DO with 20,000 ICE agents???" buddy all the easy answers are the things nobody can post on this website without violating the Terms of Service, but I trust you can use your big boy blue checkmark imagination

"The phrase “sex sells” is a deceptively simple way of alluding to the historically entrenched ways that femininity can stoke desire for commodities, turning the female form into an indispensable tool of capitalism. . .when people say sex sells, they don’t mean sex acts. They mean sexiness."
