Yeah, but we also need to allow for greater fluidity between those categories. I firmly believe that Jack Kirby was one of the greatest and most important 20th Century artists. But everything he ever produced was in a low art medium.

I don't see any other way to read this. Does Schmitt not even get that right wingers have been trying to claim Clark as one of their own for several years now?

Sen. Jon Ossoff’s investigation found 85 credible reports of medical neglect in ICE detention between January and August. ICE is paying CoreCivic $739.2 million for one San Diego facility alone, and GEO Group projects $3 billion in revenue this year.

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

I don't really care about Nashville Skyline, but New Morning is an album full of very good little tiny songs (+ a couple fun goofs) & is one of my favorite Dylan Records

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

Local H! I saw them from backstage in the 90s. They played the club I mixed at. They had their own FOH & I was employed to keep cables straight so someone (road mgr?) could run on and off stage to play brief extra gtr parts. Dude spent the whole set crouched behind an amp with a guitar strapped on.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Not exaggerating: What’s the reason for the change? Fish are showing lower levels of toxic chemicals known as PCBs, which is shorthand for polychlorinated biphenyls. Zero context on why the levels used to be high (INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION) and how they were lowered (REGULATIONS LOWERED THEM)

Absolutely. Really, this should be a multi-day story with everyone asking "Mr. President, did you lie when you claimed you spoke to a former President about bombing Iran?" Not because it's the most important question, but because that's what would have happened with. Any. Other. President.

I'm really happy that it looks like Bovino is being underbussed, with Noem likely to follow. But that's certainly not enough. Trump is obviously trying to distance himself from the murders of Good & Pretti & the chaos in MPLS but he bears ultimate responsibility. Don't let him (or Miller) slide

The Obama statement is just so abstracted, & is very much addressed to some imagined reasonable middle position. I get that he wants to give everybody an on-ramp to his message from any position. But if the ground you're laying is too slick and soft, then no one is going to be able to climb on

I mean, this is true. But comparing the effectiveness of these two pieces of political communication won't prevent us from doing that. And, thinking about what makes for effective political communication might even help a little.
