The lesson of Trump II is that US elites have little principles and will dance if the President says "stop! hammer time!" There's something depressing about this but it also means that President whoever in 2029 can stop with the pretense

in the last eleven months, men have elected a president and pushed Paul Thomas Anderson past the $100 million mark for the first time in his career. Now, they finally have their Nobel Literature Laureate. They have accomplished all of this by podcasting

Tellingly, they tend to fixate on media like comic books or Children's TV. I think if you are complaining about people watching Jimmie Neutron lack media literacy, you are taking that show far more seriously than its creators did.

There was certainly something recently which monopolised all public debate and paralysed all policy initiative in the UK for the better part of a decade, and I dont think it was trans rights.

You expect Filipino-Americans to care about places that are against their own existence? Sorry if I don't care about places like Hell where I might get hunted for being myself.
