It’s not better for the generations after us, who are watching every one of their career ambitions disappear in real time before they even get to start them There are students right now on their third or fourth change of major, as the funding keeps getting cut and the rugs keep getting pulled

When she was running for governor 32 years ago she couldn’t afford health care, so she can relate to what Mainers are going through under the regime she supports and votes with 96% of the time. 🙄

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.
Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

Imagine if the national media covered American politics through the lens of which party actually competently staffed & governed the country when it was in power, instead of covering it as horse races, theater, & grading on a curve for the One Special Boy & the far right authoritarian party.
