it's paternalism he's a radical because he's a whiny little brat who doesn't appreciate what Big Hardworking American Daddy has done for him. It's not about A A-S, not really it's about telling people how to react to the liberal person in your life them: lazy moochers you: the real deal

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin

A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

I remember my Dad informing me when I was young, don't remember the specifics, in his Boston accent : 'don't be a weeahd person, Matt' Something inside me just balked at hearing that.

and I'm a goy but I'm under the impression that one can be Jewish via birth regardless of their adherence to religious dogma. You can choose how much you want to emphasize it, but you get to be Jewish anyway

I imagined a sort of hard cheddar situation, personally, which honestly isn't the only way to sculpt cheesy cat butts or even the best way. I'm open to this aesthetic debate!

I think one of the things that Trump showed is that even if you're very rich in America you can still be a working class hero if you're vulgar in your actions, style, and tastes. A billionaire who loves junk food, porn stars, etc is a man of the people. Class isn't as much about $ as style.

if like Brancusi tried to sculpt cat butts in cheese and did it worse than you than at least in this context you're a better sculptor than Brancusi when it comes to cat butt cheese sculptures at least or you could stand supreme as the single greatest cat butt cheese sculptor in the world!

no because unless Bach is trying to do the same thing it's two totally different things Bach could be amazing at what he's doing the Sex Pistols could be amazing what they're doing different styles, different goals, different standards of judgment

Matt Hanson @matthansonaf.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

one should judge a work of art by what you think the author's goal is, what they're trying to do not what you want them to do or what you think they should do that's a different conversation

Basked in the hazy, wizened, ruminative vibes of Time Out Of Mind the other day while working because it's one of my favorites of his. Little did I know it was released 29 years ago on that day. Fragments, unlike many other box sets, really works on its own artsfuse.org/271464/music...

Music Album Review: Bob Dylan's "Fragments" - Appreciating the Enigmatically Ruminative Vibe of "Time Out of Mind" - The Arts Fuse

I’ve always admired Bob Dylan’s resolute reluctance to repeat himself, artistically or otherwise. The Bootleg Series Vol. 17: Fragments reminds us how obsessive that aesthetic restlessness really is.

A fun thing about President Business is that he fucking sucks at business worse than anyone else ever has This is an explicit promise to blow up the national debt in a way that would make Hugo Chávez look like a tight-fisted number-crunching white-shirt fiscal conservative *for an election stunt*

I agree-- it's not about "I'm not one of those weirdos please let me prove it you" that doesn't win people over "I don't care about your stupid loaded question because I'm trying to make people's lives better" is much better

And people still had this unsubstantiated assumption that Republicans are good with the economy. Hopefully this current malaise will finish that. the other point is that the GOP will win if the Dems don't beat them might sound weird, but the "anybody but W/DJT" mentality has failed us 3x

THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE...had the surprise of relaxed virtuosity, as if he'd just discovered, at last, how to make movies, by a new, ironically matter-of-fact, thin-textured method—the visual equivalent of simple declarative sentences. (1977)
