![White Hat: How do you stand this cheap wine?
Cueball: Wine all tastes the same to me.
[Close-up of White Hat.]
White Hat: You've just never had good wine. If you paid more attention, you'd realize there's a whole world here.
Cueball: But that's true of anything! Wine, house music, fonts, ants, Wikipedia signatures, Canadian surrealist porn—
Cueball: Spend enough time with any of them and you'll become a snobby connoisseur.
White Hat: But some things do have more depth than others.
Cueball: If you locked people in a box for a year with 500 still frames of Joe Biden eating a sandwich, by the end they'd be adamant that some were great and some terrible.
White Hat: You're exaggerating.
Cueball: Oh, really?
[This panel is below the feet of the two characters from the previous panel. It goes further to the left than those two, and is wider than the previous panels, but it does not go much past the middle, so there is a blank white space to the left of this panel, below the first and most of the second panel. It shows a box, with two star burst on the surface from where two voices emanate from the inside. Over the top left of the panels frame is a small frame with a caption:]
A year later:
[The voice from left side of the box:]
Sure, most closed-mouth frames are boring, but in #415, the way the man's jaw frames the mayo on his hand is pure perfection, and—
[The voice from right side of the box:]
What a surprise- you praising a mayo frame. Listening to you, I'd think there was nothing else in The Sandwich.
[The voice from right side of the box:]
Frankly, the light hitting J.B.'s collar through the lettuce would put #242 in my top ten even if he had no mayo on his hand at all.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nsx776phqnuwbgfnrpf53al5/bafkreife67sy4vcso6tmcpsavyvtxhtcypivjbldoshmthqqxjtdgnqd4i)
![We talk about the Trump administration’s war against the trans community. While opening up about her own identity terrifies her, she knows she has less on the line than people whose gender identity does not match what they were assigned at birth.
“I don’t think that [my identity] is radical, to be honest,” she says. “I see these incredibly brave young people, and it’s complicated. Making the expression privately is one thing, but I want to make very clear that I’m not trying to take any space from anyone who has more on the line than me. Because I’m, comparatively, in a very safe place as a wealthy, cis, white woman.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nsx776phqnuwbgfnrpf53al5/bafkreiejbukyjiwepnsucckel65ehh266alqg2u4y6dsynnr7txpoyrgne)
![I ask her how she identifies now, what it means and what’s changed. “[Chappell Roan] asked me this,” Lorde recalls. The pair have become close friends over the past year. “She was like, ‘So, are you nonbinary now?’ And I was like, ‘I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.’ I know that’s not a very satisfying answer, but there’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nsx776phqnuwbgfnrpf53al5/bafkreiedoza66s76zotjy2xeea2iqsiem7p2cqqpq7f3r4bxlaf3kxentu)
