My reply to Michael Anton’s review of Furious Minds. lkfieldnotes.substack.com/p/reply-to-f...

Thinking about the scene in ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA II when they create a Marvel-ass soyjaking scene over Sun Yat-Sen discovering the Kuomintang flag

"It’s being called Nixonmaxxing, and it involves a series of slickly edited social media videos that cut archival Nixon footage to rap tracks and turn the 37th president into the sort of stone-cold, sigma male-style antihero that Gen Z bros can’t get enough of these days."

How are we still doing this

“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore! Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” Quoth the Raven: “I am the son of a toolmaker.”

Twitter yearns for Bill McKay

When did Nick Kristof grow a spine lol

Fighting over Bluesky and X is so funny. It's like two rival opera companies screaming at each other. Persuasion is done via short form video now, we're both retirement homes for uggos.

Not a big Abdul El-Sayed guy but the smear campaign is so transparent lol

Started Twin Peaks a week ago. This David Lynch guy, he sure knows how to direct, doesn’t he?

Jerry's girlfriend wants to go see big character posters for every date. George has to write a report on using Mao Zedong Thought to hit home runs. Elaine thinks her boyfriend is too old to be a Red Guard. Kramer tries to convince Premier Chou En-Lai that stoplights should turn red for go.

The great Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman, in an interview with France 24 from 2019, gives what I think is the best possible response to the question: “if you believe no state has an inherent right to exist, why do you call for a free Palestine?”

Clyburn getting his own leopards-eating-my-face-party moment. Can’t say it isn’t poetic

Doomsday has the the vibe of those 80s TV movie reunions for 50s and 60s shows where everybody is exhausted, the sets are pasteboard and they're only springing for one casio on the soundtrack. And there's like a "younger" cast member who is like 35 and has to pretend the originals were their icons.

What we are seeing from @katmabu.bsky.social is just a completely new model of politics. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThtrq8Ph/

As @souljagoyshmulik.bsky.social said: Gen Z right vs Millennial right.

My first appearence on a political podcast is now out, discussing Israel/Palestine with my good friend Omar el-Fares. Please take a look! Heres the YouTube link: youtu.be/D1ruJo2wum4?...

There’s supposed to be a vibe shift, right?

Wow a legend passes…

Thanks Sulu!

Captive Dreamer famously told Sami Gold his family should've died in the Holocaust.

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

So happy about Zohran

The bigger issue is that Biden was partially elected as a throwback to a more stable, calm world order, and he failed at that. The facade really cracked with Afghanistan, but it was his utter impotence in dealing with Israel’s genocide that sealed the deal

To be fair, Biden didn’t help his case by nakedly supporting one of the most horrific genocides in modern memory, and Kamala refused to even pander to voters affected by their genocide
