the key element in the tankie mindset is the simple-minded assumption that only the U.S. can be imperialist, and thus any country that opposes the U.S. must be supported. As author and human rights activist Leila Al-Shami put it several years ago, “The pro-fascist left seems blind to any form of imperialism that is non-western in origin. It combines identity politics with egoism. Everything that happens is viewed through the prism of what it means for westerners
Almost every major error and meltdown in Dem/left politics, from post-left fash apologism to popularist left-punching cringe, comes from fatally flawed attempts to solve what I call the Upper Left Quadrant problem.

impressive one-two punch at the end of the lakers game to send it to ot. unfortunately the heave by lebron james was after the buzzer but such a defiant block and quick release shot.
For the 1st time in 29 years, the marquee at the Orpheum Theatre in the East Village has signage for a production that isn't 'Stomp' (11,000+ shows from 1994-2023). The 'Star Wars' parody 'The Empire Strips Backs' beings on May 10. (The farce awakens?) pic.twitter.com/XrDfDAOYr3

busy tv time.
got hung up mid season of season 2 of the white lotus. always irksome when a wife finds a condom in husbands room but it isnt his but she thinks it is which is where i turned it off. hopefully that will resolve itself sooner than later.
succession is full steam ahead to the finish. all caught up on that. same with season 2 of yellowjackets which stumbled out of the gate. im all in but its a slow burn.
still never finished season 3 of barry as it got dark and depressing but season 4 which is end game started so figure to get to that at some point.
never made it through ep 1 of poker face nor season 2 of russian doll. dark times for natasha lyonne.
ted lasso is ending its three season run. was almost out on it but up to date on it so far.
mrs maisel is back for its final season. not enthusiastic about it but will get sucked in at some point.
two eps in to beef. curious where its headed but not diving in headlong.
new shows this week i havent sampled:
what did i end up watching yesterday?
Nan Golden documentary
Occultism and the avant-garde
Christopher Williams at moma
Might be the biggest flex you'll ever see on a tee-ball field

good, but kind of a slog and takes a pound of flesh in the process. On Apple TV.

This giant meatball above was made from flesh cultivated using the DNA of an extinct woolly mammoth. It was created by Australian cultured meat company Vow, which said it wanted to get people talking about cultured meat, calling it a more sustainable alternative to real meat.

really curious what the similar community on reddit was that prompted this pushed post.
big hit on the interwebs that i just stumbled across because i was looking for a photo of a girls (who does voiceover interstitials for a podcast) fiancé. btw, who is familiar with the concept of nepo babies?
