Ethan Hawke explains why you can't see how good your own era is until it's already gone

"My kids and stuff, some of my kids are older, so 27 23 and they're like"

"Oh back in the 90s, my son showed me the other day like 5 movies that came out some weekend in 1994 something and they're all amazing"

"He said what a time I wish i lived in that time and I was like wow I remember being nonplussed that weekend
and I remember wishing it was 1974"

"So we're in this ongoing thing which make it really easy to be critical and negative about what's happening"

"Cause usually time is the great curator, time will reveal what's good about what's happening right today cause it's harder for us to see it"

@RiantAugustLady @Dorkasaurus5 @admiraIish aforementioned questions are supposed to be a direct argument with the author. unless the author has clearly demonstrated this worldview as a personal belief, poems like this really serve as a point of discussion and reflection. that's the beauty of them to me.

@RiantAugustLady @Dorkasaurus5 @admiraIish ambiguity is meant to make you interrogate something inside yourself and actually think. there doesn't need to be a correct answer. there doesn't even need to be an answer at all. additionally, and i feel like this is an important addendum, none of the answers to those

Washington, DC is currently hotter than 99% of the planet, with highs beaten only by the Gobi Desert, Sahara Desert, and deserts in the Middle East.

Trump has boasted about delivering a "really long speech just to show that [he] can do anything" on the Fourth of July.

This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit.

The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here.

Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice.

You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action.

"Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism.

But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

Just the line delivery of "Use the sights." kills me every time and I could not tell you why

It sounds trite but I do relate to this, having always loved the “oppressive” atmosphere of a sky that feels so close; like it’s bearing down on you. It always felt psychologically like a warm heavy blanket or a deep hug.
