Even if mostly honored in the breach, the cultural stigma Gen X attached to selling out was a good thing and should be restored. A culture where people are emboldened to admit I BELIEVE IN NOTHING & WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY is inestimably worse than one where people even pretend to have ethics.

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough

Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

Leaving aside everything else here for a second, I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around a nostalgia that can't even get back before 9/11.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

A.W.N. Pugin may have had an illegitimate son who wound up designing buildings here in Durham, NC? That is incredible.

This is appalling. But if turns some more people onto Yasmin Williams's extraordinary music, it will have done some good. Go buy her albums. They are the perfect accompaniment to the arrival of autumn.
