A lot of what passes for "culture war" right now isn't about abortion or LQBTQ rights or religion it's just baby boomer and older's fear of change/time passing/getting closer to death/relinquishing power to the next generation, as manifested by like the Trix Rabbit getting a niece.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Rural Indexing Project@ruralindexing.bsky.social

We made a book! RURAL INDEXING: A COLLECTION OF AMERICAN BUILDINGS, SIGNS, AND SYMBOLS arrives from Rizzoli in March 2027. Our favorite themes and subjects from the thousands of places we've visited since 2010—450+ photos, many never published before. Preorder: linktr.ee/ruralindexingproject

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Its like that West Wing episode - down to the point about that space having previously housed a swimming pool in the White House.

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Hi, 80s/90s kid here with a PSA. You don’t use A.I. to make a flyer for your event. You’re supposed to bootleg the art from this strip of Calvin and Hobbes dancing.
