In the wake of the Russian & German Revolutions there were explosions of experimental, avant garde art in those countries. Always the way. Counter-revolutions, especially fascist regimes, suppress such things in favour of 'tasteful', 'traditional', 'realist' middle-brow pap.
@rossgrady Was trying to ID the YLT tunes while reading stories to my kid at bedtime. Still hear it loud and unusually clear.
Over the last year, I've come to realize we sit in a weird location where we can hear every gunshot/loud sustained sound for miles away.
The campist left uses conspiracy logic and recites propaganda because they reason backwards from political imperatives. They have to make Ukraine a Nazi country and a US puppet because they have to deny Ukraine's right to self-determination because they have to justify Putin's
Breaking my Twitter silence to report that I'm looking at Cheerwine pie recipes.
I will not report how it goes, I can safely say that it will be awesome.
The "we are more polarized" propaganda really just means that the left isn't completely minimized and beaten into submission. We need to stop helping the financial elite by legitimizing their propaganda for them.
Stop repeating the center-right propaganda about "more polarized than ever" garbage. The only thing that's growing is the relative size of the left. Take a look at the Gallup numbers right after Kent State where only 11% blamed the National Guard to 58% blaming the students.
And you've probably never even heard about the killings ten days later at the HBCU Jackson State. Or the Hard Hat riot in NYC where construction and office workers viciously attacked leftist protestors and then the leaders were celebrated with a visit to Nixon in the WH.

Only thing I'm sad to miss this weekend is the opportunity to reminisce about seeing that Segway cop eat the curb in front of Chuck's Friday evening of the 3rd or 4th hopscotch.
Sorry I am trying to tweet less because this site is a festering swamp of bad faith but reading this story is like reading about Smaug's serious questions about whether Tolkein has got the literary chops required to work in his fucking cave.
Y'all, as a communication researcher who works on projects dealing with implicit bias it has been really hard hearing how teachers interact with their classes this past year.
Like, I understand this stuff conceptually but hearing "really great teachers" continually prioritize and praise the voices of white cis boys is so devastating. And there's no safe mechanism to provide feedback to help teachers gain clearer understanding of their biases.
