David Borenstein: Mr Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country... When oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily, even a nobody is more powerful than you think.

They are a different species, the ruling class, because they have made themselves so. They have systematically and with groaning pleasure removed the organs where empathy lives. And even if only a tenth of it is true — even if only a hundredth of it is true, it is too much.

Tearing my hair out over every think piece that ponders why Heated Rivalry has become such a cultural phenomenon without including the part about it being a romance novel adaptation and not just following but respecting the genre’s conventions

I don’t understand how Game of Thrones spawned all these spin offs but I can’t get ONE Kleypas or Maclean adaptation off of Bridgerton! Make it make sense!

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

It's so tragic what happens to businesses when streets are pedestrianized. Look at how empty and unpleasant this all is in New York's West Village! Businesses must be suffering without the 15 idle cars that could be taking up this space. <Stares in Urbanist Rage at Lincoln Ave, back home>

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.
