I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Dropped in on Temporal Culture War with @claytonashley.bsky.social and @mattielubchansky.com to talk about fall 2002, misremember how many American idol winners have careers, and complain about an awful episode of Enterprise. This was fun!

From Community: Britta Perry sits in a cage where she has locked herself in a poorly-considered attempt at activism, squirting a ketchup bottle onto a globe as if that means something.

I would be fine with the US just becoming two countries if each country agreed to pay all moving expenses for anyone who wanted to emigrate to the other. Y’all don’t like Mexicans and trans people. We don’t like bigots and fascists. Seems like an opportunity to help each other out

A frustrating thing about the Yankees is that people wear Yankees caps whether or not they follow baseball. You cannot count on another dad on the playground wearing a Yankees cap to talk baseball with you and YOU end up feeling like the asshole for trying. This doesn’t happen with other teams.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

In a perfect world there would be only two classes of people:
• People who are not funny, whose needs are entirely met
• People who are funny, whose needs are also entirely met but who everyone agrees deserve it more

My decent ticket to the Metropolitan Opera cost me substantially less than the time I had an obstructed view of Monday Night Raw and in only one of those places were people carrying gaudy $300 accessories over their shoulders so I think we can let go of the idea that opera is just for rich people.
