Gah! How does one write about "conflicting masculinities" between Derek Zoolander, his pop, and his brothers and not take note of the fact they all have the same fabulous hair??! #moviesky 🎥🎬

Hard to recall exactly, but "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" is surely among the earliest of them. And the opening sequence to Chicago's "Creature Features" broadcast always scared me more than the old Universal monster movies did. youtu.be/BnYRp83XCVI

He'd have to be a fool not to. This bungling, sub-literate reprobate our country has foisted on the world is interested only in self-enrichment and the archival preservation of the imaginary, AI-slop-generated greatness he thinks he represents, courtesy of Natalie's handy portable color printer.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

When did this backdrop aesthetic become a thing with these right-wing weirdos? For anti-intellectuals/"elitists," they sure want to look intellectual and elitist -- the same fixation as "my ghostwritten screed is a 'NYT best-seller" or Seb Gorka claiming he "studied under Graham Allison at Harvard"

Psssst! Hey, Chuck, don't look now, but "energy independent" doesn't seem to have lowered gas prices much in the past, say, 10 years, has it? Almost as if it was a bullshit notion regurgitated by a Republican Party that is in thrall to companies that prey on ordinary Americans or something.

Thanks for that hopeful final observation. I read this 👇🏼 in the midst of the Confederate reckoning during the first dismal Trump presidency. Though it's not my field, I found some very interesting insights and politico-historical parallels in it.

Trotting out trusty Journalists-Lost-Us-the-War-in-Vietnam Dolchstoßlegende. Conservatism since Nixon has simply been resentment about the period between 1965-1975: civil rights, the end of pornography censorship, women's rights, gay rights, desegregation, the Pill -- you name it, they resent it.

First, the famed Rosie the Riveter image that is a feminist icon is in fact an anti-union image created by Westinghouse during the war. All discussions of memories of women and the war should start with knowing this fact. thesocietypages.org/socimages/20...

Just saw a narcissistic, womanizing president and his clueless advisers mired in a war based on nothing more than his ego. Also: I watched Leo McCarey's DUCK SOUP (1933) w/ the Marx Bros tonight. It’s like writers Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Arthur Sheekman and Nat Perrin had a crystal ball. #FilmSky

And without putting too fine a point on it, there was a whole pop culture-media era defined by representations of Rural American long before "DEI" was a sparkle in any theorist's eye, so there might could be a better explanatory variable or two...

What if they never *were* able to recognize or care about truth & discern right from wrong, competence from buffoonery? Think of '60s "superpatriots" and '80s survivalists. Where once they relied on AM radio & posted mimeographs, post-9/11 digital media made them mobilizable @ national scale
