"What's this life for?" I went to Wisconsin for @washingtonpost to see if there is any joy to be found in post-grunge nostalgia. https://t.co/Opa1RLpSAu

Cory Booker’s action was in a way a perfect encapsulation of Democratic Party strategy: bloviate for hours on end when the stakes are non-existent for the sake of a hollow victory that ultimately won’t change people’s material conditions so they can claim to be “resisting”.

All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let's put our money where our mouth is...in a charity wrestling match. We'll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I'll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?

The anti-Anora reaction since it won Best Picture shouldn’t be surprising. It’s a conservative, anti-art reaction. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like a piece of art. Over the last 10 years, culturally, something majorly shifted to where we can no longer tolerate differing viewpoints or how they are portrayed or who gets to portray them. I saw this first hand teaching in the academy where the students themselves want to know exactly what an art object means, what it argues for, why, why someone even has a right to make it—it’s basically all the questions the right was asking of art in the early 90s with the NEA Four. And if no art object or artist has the perfect equation: cancelled. Berated. “Problematic.” There is no room for flexibility. Doubt. Holding two opposing ideas in one’s head at one time. No real engagement. Well, shocker, no art object or artist ever has the perfect equation. It’s almost like certain leftists have started using and thinking of art as propaganda. It must espouse an ideology (their ideology) at all times. Anything else makes them nervous. Again, this smacks of the conservative right in the 90s, but now disguises itself as “progressive.” Art is, obviously, not here to make you feel better about yourself or your world view or to bring you certitude and moral clarity. The artist is also not your role model or moral example. It’s actually completely fine for the artist to be the most flawed of anyone, which really, we’re all flawed. The most depressing thing, teaching, has been seeing how obsessed with policing culture, cultural production, and themselves, people have become. I refuse and reject it. I don’t care who I make nervous and I certainly don’t give a fuck about the arbitrary cultural rules and norms being invented almost daily to stifle artistic expression, which really, is the human experience ugly as it is.
