-Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

My first artwork of this years spooky season, a dark fairytale:
Little red riding hood
#art #fairytale #darkart

A pen and ink drawing of a woman being stalked through the woods by an enormous black wolf with white eyes. The only color is her bright red hooded cloak.

But he did it with a smile (smirk) so civil! /s

Annie Kelly @annieknk.bsky.social · 26d

Also even putting the content of his speech aside that's not at all what he was doing! He was following the Shapiro model of provoking a reaction of frustration or outrage so he could clip it for a "COLLEGE LIBS OWNED BY FACTS AND LOGIC" compilation, not earnestly trying to persuade people

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 26d

These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments.

Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

I wrote something for The Nation about how Republican style has changed over the last fifty years.

But first, let me tell you a short story. 🧵

How Did Republican Fashion Go From Blazers to Belligerence?

Trump and his cronies’ style reflects a platform where grievance is currency and performance is power.
