I worked with a guy during the Clinton years who said Clinton was the best republican president Democrats ever elected. I was too young and dumb to get it at the time, but I think about that fairly often now.

Maybe the best thing about this site is the artist community lifting each other up here. I hope you all make one million dollars and don’t have to pay taxes on any of it.

The thing is, I think he really *does* love his country, it’s just that his idea of what that means and mine have diverged so far they no longer inhabit the same universe. He’s way down into the alternate universe where this decision is righteous, and people like me just don’t understand the truth.

(Of course if we make our LEFT flank mad we’ll also die holding hands, so it’s a legitimately very very difficult problem. I just want to get through this election and then lift up our left wing as much as I can and get to a world where we can do the real good shit without having to do the bad shit)

Especially frustrating because republicans are not playing it that way at all, they’re all lined up together on the right edge pushing hard, and we’re over here like “the people on our right flank used to be republicans and if we make them mad we’ll all die together” which sucks but is not wrong!

We can always be surprised, of course, but he’s absolutely got the aura of futility about him. Which sounds like a spell in a game, but is actually just ego and wealth working together

I’m ashamed to say I used to roll my eyes at Sarah Kendzior’s work, because I just could not believe things were as bad or advanced as she said they were. She was right, all along, and I was wrong. At least I had the good sense to keep that ignorance to myself at the time.

Super curious about how they rehears/prep for exactly this situation, because i would think that the Trump stand-in's entire role would be to yell and bark and basically do everything up to and including humping Biden's leg to get him used to that

Worse (3), I think. He doesn’t understand the game at the instinctual/animal level his father does, so he doesn’t have the same charismatic hold on people. He has to substitute overt displays of cruelty and anger to try to replicate it, but that is obviously calculated and not as effective.

In the aftermath of a society-level trauma like 9/11, art made for a small, intimate audience lands; very good poetry, short stories, photography reflected on 9/11 pretty early. It’s just too big a thing, still, to work into longer fiction because it instantly overwhelms the story it’s in. Imo.

My MIL's doctor did this, emailed a his patient list of like 250 people with a sales pitch for his girlfriend's massage business. Which is bad even as a bcc but he forgot to even do that much, and then the next day an email came out from the practice saying he had left to pursue other opportunities
