Mellencamp is highly underrated, and it grinds my gears that he gets dismissed as Diet Springsteen. “Scarecrow” is a masterpiece, and following it up with “The Lonesome Jubilee” is a 1-2 heartland punch. And “Crumblin’ Down” is slept-on karaoke banger.

semi-related, media outlets need to use language that doesn't anthropomorphize the bots. No human pronouns for these things, to begin with.

Tori didn’t go with the pretentious pronunciation in her version. Anyway, this lyric is what immediately comes to mind when I hear the name “Eva Marie Saint.”

Also, plenty of effort to launch a revolution by white men, including McVeigh bombing in Oklahoma City and the Bundy Ranch and Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Plus Charlottesville. It’s not a lack of trying. I did a whole podcast about this: longshadowpodcast.com/podcasts/ris...

Long Shadow: Rise of the American Far Right
Episode 1, Waco: The Spark, chronicles the 1993 FBI raid on the Branch Davidian compound which solidified a far-right movement.

One of my favorite memories from my wedding was dancing with my then 86-year-old grandfather to Pulp’s “Common People.” This is brought to you by my watching “What Do You Do For An Encore?” Recommended.

When you cover a beat, you can become so immersed in it you lose perspective. Some folks who cover pop culture forget that for many, the cultural products they analyze exist only in the background. It’s the equivalent of saying “Oh, you’ve never seen this particular floral wallpaper?”

Peter Thiel praises evil. Peter Thiel hates democracy. Peter Thiel founded Palantir. Peter Thiel owns JD Vance. Peter Thiel is the most powerful billionaire in the United States. Peter Thiel can’t stop talking about the “Antichrist.” Find out why. Read “The Nerd Reich”
Perfect with photos of teal and Judy Vance. Quote from Peter Teal if you’re evil, you’re actually kind of good because at least you’re getting something done.

I once had a job interview where there were munchkins and coffee laid out and they specifically told me “These are NOT for you. They’re for the meeting after.” They also gave me a cup of water that leaked. I thought I was being punked.

Reading it gave me flashbacks to when we were trying to leave a campsite in the middle of nowhere, and the bus to Reykjavik didn’t have enough seats. They brought another bus and dropped us in a gas station parking lot because it wasn’t “fuel-efficient” to make the whole trip.

Speaking as someone who wrote a book on the government’s Doomsday plans, one challenge: “Martial law” isn’t actually something that exists in the US in the way it exists in other countries. There are ways to nationalize or deploy troops, but “declaring martial law” isn’t some magic button to press.
