Krusty: Oh, well, that makes sense. What will they think of next, blue pages?
Marge: They have those. They're government listings.

#MurcsLaw speedrun from Pankaj Mishra in Harper's (I really gotta cancel my subscription, I'm so sick of their shit)
Excerpt from "Geopolitical Narcissism" in Harper's by Pankaj Mishra: "The American war of choice on Iran will inflict widespread suffering across the world for a long time. This catastrophe might be understood as the work of an unbalanced and easily manipulable president who wagered on the quick collapse of Iran’s government and its replacement by gratefully pro-U.S. Iranians, only to find himself stupefied by a resolute adversary. But blaming a deranged president for this calamity obscures the climate of opinion that made it possible.

It is no surprise that the Democratic leadership, which recently criticized Donald Trump for not being tough enough on Iran, did little to stop Trump’s new war."

i revisit this wonkette piece so often it comes up when i type "w": www.wonkette.com/p/does-jonat...
Section from Wonkette article: "I know what conservatives believe, as -- I assume -- do you. There isn't much they can really surprise us with considering that they have been arguing the exact same things lo the past 100 years. Want to know what conservatives think of immigration? Check out an op-ed from 1920! Want to know what they think about diversity and civil rights? Bust out some old John Birch Society pamphlets! Want to know how they feel about baking cakes for gay people? Go watch videos of Lester Maddox trying to keep black people out of his restaurant! Same arguments! They're not "ideologically diverse," they are ideologically repetitive ."

So the publisher wants me to trim down 700 to 400 pages in "The Best of..." collection. Tsk tsk. Below will be 
the revised mini-essay to serve as the final piece. Although I detest Trump, to be fair, I realized, thanks to 
you, that I had no evidence that he had raped a 13-year-old, though I did have have evidence that, as an adult, 
there was evidence that she made an accusation. Also, I added another sentence with a positive ending. 
Meanwhile, Happy Earth Day. 
The Last Word: Yikes! 
When George W. Bush was elected president in the year 2000, it was due to the electoral college (a rigged system 
which originally intended to prevent slaves from voting and evolved to gerrymandering), even though Bush's 
opponent, Al Gore, won the national popular vote. Hillary Clinton was elected senator that year, and she 
announced that the first thing she would do was to get rid of the electoral college. A few years later, as a columnist 
for the New York Press, I sent her a letter asking about the status of that promise. She didn't reply. 
On November 8, 2016, a crooked businessman, liar extraordinaire, bragging pussy-grabber, make-America-
white-again, anti-choice, anti-Semite, fake Christian, accused rapist of a 13-year-old in 1994 (she canceled a press 
conference one week before the election because of death threats if she filed a lawsuit), climate-change hoaxer, 
twitter addict, homophobic, apprentice politician, fucking fascist, and Vladimir Putin's "useful idiot," namely 
Donald Trump, who was elected as an insanely narcissistic dictator based on the electoral college, whereas his 
opponent, Hillary Clinton, won the national popular vote by almost three million individuals galore, to no avail. 
Irony lives. But the monster has inadvertently awakened a population to resist.

A piece I return to often: substack.com/@internetpri...
effective in the first place. In Walter Benjamin's essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, he writes that an oppressive structure "sees its salvation" in allowing the masses to express themselves freely in lieu of granting them their rights. Similarly, the mainstream MeToo movement offered temporary catharsis in place of systemic change; Hollywood play-acted a revolution so that its men could keep up their abuse unscathed. There is something phenomenally painful in watching a material backlash erupt in response to a movement that was never allowed to be anything more than aesthetic. Now that the state of discourse has moved forward without bringing women's material conditions with it, men like Johnny Depp are able to benefit from violent systemic misogyny while posturing themselves as radical, antiestablishment activists. Recent events are not so much a pendulum swing as they are a pendulum being repeatedly beaten in one direction for fear it might one day gain a centimetre of ground.
