God, not high culture vs low culture again. The grad students' version of tastes great vs less filling.

George Fouracres - What Kind Of Irish Is Your Grandad - SNL UK YouTube video by Archie McBlarter

I don't think SNL US has done anything this funny in decades. youtu.be/FbHby094nw4?...

Cheese sandwiches for everybody

All I ever needed was The One.

TRIAL OF HEIN is worth seeing if you get the chance. It’s a riff on a modern classic I’d never have considered riffable. And it almost works.

There are few things more secretly Martin Luther coded than analytic philosophy. “I need a truth table! What’s the cash value of that idea?!”

Tell me something I don't know!

Oh no, I wasn't calling you out. I know what you were saying.

It's been around, but mainly in the Black church. We tend to take that for granted on the US political landscape, but it really has been the bedrock for nearly every successful progressive movement.

That's why I'm a bit skeptical of Talarico. His unspoken selling point is he's a white guy doing it.

You know what Kiarostami film no one talks about anymore?

I'm not crazy about Talarico, but his demure brand of liberation theology does seem sincere and has the benefit of timeliness. It may be one of the only ways to successfully fight the hyper-Protestant greed doctrines of late capital. If he wins, expect to see more of what he's offering.

Starmer taking a page from US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. “I’m not aware of that, I haven’t been following the news.” It’s your job!

Exactly. It is the illusion of deliberation. Purporting to take their case to The People when in fact The People have zero say in any of it.

Why does this new crop of fascists insist on being “intellectual”? Do us all a favor and just shut up and goose-step. Don’t ask us to admire your supposed brilliance. Insecure motherfuckers.

I wish for all of these men a scenario exactly like the one from the film AUDITION.

Democrats cite Reagan too much and Republicans cite Kennedy too much.

The city of Houston disavows D4vd.

We can go too. I’ll take the hit!

Do we really need Idaho? Bomb Idaho. We can even do it like Iran does, where they backchannel the info like “hey in 24hrs we’re bombing.” Just fuck Idaho.

Bluesky sure is coming apart, ain’t it?

That's Not What Unc Means You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Once this guy is elected, he won’t feel the need to apologize anymore.

Imagine if you gave 200 people 100K a year, or hell, 400 people 50K a year to write good stuff for you instead of paying for the Kara Swisher podcast

OMG the Sensory Ethnography Lab!

It would be fantastic if Criterion Channel did a program of counter-ethnographic film.

Rouch, Gardner, Trinh, Lapore, the Two Bens, Akerman, O’Rourke, Asch, Ottinger, Everson, the Cantrills, just off the top of my head.

“Me as a doctor” = “I hold this nation in such utter comtempt that I can’t even be bothered to lie properly.”
