The ability to criticize and yes, mock, our political leaders is (was?) America's greatest strength. And there's also the mundane matter of first amendment caselaw, under which government may not impose viewpoint-based conditions on permitting for public displays of private art.

Feel like a functional opposition party could have a field day with "we're gonna bail out another country because we like its right wing leader"

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

I was contacted recently by some law students who needed to do an interview with a practicing lawyer for one of their 1L classes. I gave a few bits of my usual advice, but let me repeat it: spend your summers looking at the senior lawyers at your job and seeing if you want to be them one day. /1

flashbacks to when buffy pulled "earshot" and the finale due to columbine (if you're really old, you remember the pirated videotape trees that followed)
