there were a lot of people who decided that "the economy of 2019" was the zenith of human development and were willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone else, to get it back.

After blathering on about Fox News' negative space with @gregsargent.bsky.social, @sulliview.bsky.social, @janecoaston.bsky.social, and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social I've finally written out a proper piece laying out the concept.

the front desk person at the hotel was like "eh, Seattle is fine, but I'm moving to Tampa" and she was really excited the human race contains multitudes

Spent the weekend in Seattle (ran a 12K) and Seattle is a top-tier city, every time I go I'm like "oh this place rules"

if I had hundreds of millions of dollars this is literally *all* I would do. I don't want to start a race war or defy the laws of God, I want Michigan to never lose a single sporting event in any sport ever again.

it made me mad, genuinely mad, like there is an episode I thought was a dream sequence (it wasn't)

if you were a cis girl going to a private high school in 2001 Gilmore Girls hit as hard as how I imagine David Bowie experienced R&B radio in the US in 1971

the entire Netflix season is based on the idea that she is profoundly gifted and yet only one small town in Connecticut can understand her genius

my argument is that Rory was simultaneously the product of terrible choices and also the purveyor of terrible choices but she did so while treated as if she were the zenith of the human race

I can't find the one I mean right now but I am happy to call you up personally and discuss how Rory Gilmore was the villain of that show

counterpoint: I have watched an hour long video explaining how Rory Gilmore was a war criminal and I'd do it again

how this happened: @eringloriaryan.bsky.social said "hey do you want to rant about George W. Bush for more than an hour" and I said, "I've been waiting for this day since I was in eighth grade."

Yeeeep. Also a good reminder that Bin Laden's primary concern was US adventurism in the Middle East was getting in the way of *his* attempts to kill his neighbors into embracing his particular strain of theocratic authoritarianism, not moral opposition to US foreign policy specifically.

I was at home in Brooklyn climbing the stairs to my top floor office when a flash lit up the stairwell. I rushed to the front door and looked toward Manhattan, more than a mile away: A black thunderhead came boiling over the East River, raining down charred papers from the desks of the dead.

bin Laden didn't want the US to overreact, he wanted the US to pull out of the Middle East entirely (and also stop being gay and letting Jewish people... do... anything? web.archive.org/web/20231014...).

he did 17 hours of straight coverage. no teleprompter. just producers handing him notes. that man had to explain to millions of people what was happening when no one knew what was happening.

My parents never watched the news (my mom loathed commercial television) except for the week after 9/11, when my dad leaned on Peter Jennings to an extent I had never seen before or since. I think now that was the first time I realized my dad was terrified of something.
