I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

This should be a huge story, but we live in the dumbest timeline.
33 pardoned #Jan6 seditionists have been rearrested including 6 who committed child sex crimes.
Some think the pardon should protect them from current and future charges.
These are the real criminals who have been given a free pass.

This is so funny and so clearly biased because we aren’t attracted to charismatic outsiders who just want to “break” from party failures. We’re attracted to ppl who have actual values and policies and haven’t sold their fucking souls to rich donors, corporations, and AIPAC
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.
