We’ve allowed nostalgia to become a right wing thing when Norman Rockwell art is actually a good example of how soft-focus Americana can also be used for progressive ideas.
"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.)

The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

A modern dress version of merchant of venice starring adam sandler would perhaps go incredibly hard and make it ten times more uncomfortable to watch than it already is
LET 👏 ADAM 👏 SANDLER 👏 PLAY 👏 SHYLOCK 👏
Last movie I saw at Cinerama Dome before it closed was Uncut Gems with a Q&A. Some complete normie gets up and asks Sandler, “Why don’t you do more of these serious roles?” Sandler replies: “Nobody asks me.”

I feel like we’ve gone quite a few rounds of “this guy is unfortunately not the guy you want him to be,” and it never really sticks.
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

This time of year I always think of this deliciously unhinged photo shoot with Truman Capote & Andy Warhol for High Times magazine's 1978 Xmas issue, with Capote soused to the gills & Warhol gamely playing along as Santa. I want someone to write an extended oral history of this photo shoot alone

Yes. Eric Adams had "an actual werewolf" do it when he was sworn in and no one was able to stop him, or even get him to explain why.
So wait I'm unfamiliar with NYC politics; can you really just have anyone swear you in if you're elected mayor there?

Turns out that if you want to actually know stuff, at some point you’re going to have to do the work yourself, or you’re just cosplaying expertise. It’s selling a shortcut that is at best a simulacrum of knowledge.

"but if I make bad art no one will praise me for it!" Okay so there's nothing you actually feel driven to create or express, you just have a sucking wound where your sense of self-worth should be, and you think getting compliments for something you didn't even make will heal it
I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.
