@_contraryan @spiderstumbled@sircalebhammer@joerogan@mcuban@jgebbia Isn’t it, though? Public service is about fighting for your fellow man and giving back to your community. It’s always possessed the sort of dignity that Americans often want. This turn against politics and the public sector is a modern phenomenon
@StatisticUrban Interesting how sharply split the modernish presidents have been between people who came from nothing (Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon, LBJ, Truman) and people who came from everything (Trump, the Bushes, Kennedy, the Roosevelts)
Not too many guys in the middle. Biden, Ford?
@_contraryan @spiderstumbled@sircalebhammer@joerogan@mcuban@jgebbia What is substantive about a YouTube/podcast following that isn’t about a political following? Rogan, Hammer, and Obama all have bases. Obama has the largest of the three — why is that not something he’s built?
my theory is that Smile (2022) marks an irreversible turning point in contemporary horror, and that any movie released after it will in some way be influenced by it in a number of ways. Obsession is a Smile film, for instance.
@normal_jake_ I think if you asked people to name senators, a lot of people would miss some of the high-name recognition ones (Bernie, Cruz, Warren) — I suspect that people know politicians, but don’t really differentiate between the positions they hold
@phildudebro@Andrevin20@ChrisVanHollen I’ll take your word for it. Some weird looking margaritas. In any case, CVH says he didn’t drink them — no reporting otherwise, no reason not to believe him
