You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

huh, interesting that vance thinks this is the worst terrorist attack and not oklahoma city
“But what I try to remind people is, look, this is a guy who committed, in my view, the worst terrorist attack on American soil outside of 9/11, the people that he was meant to treat, the Army soldiers that he was meant to treat for mental illness and other problems, he took them at their (3/4)
Great songs with horrible people presented as sympathetic characters. #music 1. Goodbye Stranger, Supertramp. A man pursues a series of meaningless one-night stands regardless of the feelings of his partners in order to maintain an illusion of youth and sense of freedom youtu.be/u8pVZ5hTGJQ?...
2. Centerfold, The J. Geils Band. The Madonna/whore complex with an insanely catchy hook
3. Run For Your Life, The Beatles. This guy is fated to be a true crime documentary on Netflix someday. To be fair, John Lennon later said that he regretted writing the song.
This is what I've been saying for years, decades even. The ones who insisted upon voting third party rather than going through the work of actually getting involved in the party locally and taking it over infuriated me. Meantime, the Tea Party and MAGA types successfully did just that with the GOP.
Beyond the Fringe, the comedy revue from 1960 that started the British satire boom and directly or indirectly influenced UK political and social humor (sorry, humour) to this day. (Allan Bennet, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, Dudley Moore) youtu.be/KUd1OxPbKk4?...

One of my earliest takes on Musk after getting to know more about his beliefs and stated goals was that he was one of those guys I knew who read a *lot* of Heinlein in high school and college, and missed the point entirely.
Tech billionaires like to claim their work is inspired by science fiction, but in truth, they are using its ‘chrome-plated aesthetic’ as a fig leaf to further what the social theorist Ali Rıza Taşkale labels ‘reactionary futurism’
Confession: I started getting into art films back when I lived with my parents who didn't have premium channels, and finding a deeply symbolic European film playing on basic cable late at night meant a decent chance of catching some nudity. That was my introduction to arthouse cinema.
today's youth will never have the experience of scrolling the 40 or so channels you had at 1 AM on a friday night looking for something interesting or horny and catching the back half of eXistenZ without having any idea what it was
