Cheers! As a longtime scribbler and occasional playwright it is wonderful to hear live theatre still championed especially in this screen-mediated age
Sorry about the Knicks. Really felt Thibs did best job ever with that team.
Time will tell.

It’s because comedians these days are more willing to address “verboten” material than newscasters who are little more than helium filled talking heads, certainly not journalists

Criminals are too hard (read up on how often police clear cases)
They need low hanging fruit or it would take forever and they’d never fill the already requisitioned space

For years, Republicans have portrayed immigrants as takers who only come to the US to take advantage of healthcare and welfare. So when they start deporting people, they deport those looking for work, holding jobs, paying Social Security that they cannot draw against.

At this rate we will be dead or interned before our leaders have navigated Kubler-Ross’ stages of grief over the loss of our democracy when they could just fight back like starting now

The Anti-Face-Eating-Leopard party leaders were told their rhetoric was actually accurate and warned by their constituents but got posh-posh’d because up-here-we-live-differently are suddenly aware of a face-eating predator in their midst and are hoping they can bargain with it.

“We’re deporting your hairdresser for the safety of the community. Andrew Tate, pardoning the drug trafficking Silk Road guy & trying to sneak into buildings posing as electricians, we’re strictly doing that for lulz.”

It’s amusing when kneepad-sporting equivocators act like they have hard moral lines
They can’t even mouth the words convincingly
It’s grade school Hamlet (only a mother can love it)

Personally i love very calmly telling people eat an extra large bag of unsalted dicks; the beauty in the contrast of rhetoric and tune line sad lyrics in a buoyant melody
I have also angrily told someone I love them, but I was married at the time

They should be laundered like NBA coaches-sent packing periodically regardless of record because their clients have started tuning them out

Difference in dealing with institutions of racism versus racist bullies & even then it was about occupying & resistance not talking kitchen table issues to the only moderately racist
Also feels shaming people into better behavior maybe worked before the shame destroying power of social media silos

So many of my fellow “intellectuals” (which fits the Terrible Matts & Co. like a teen girl’s baby T) were either never bullied or survived by subsidizing a bigger child’s lunch & never learned engagement & backbone are only ways past a bully

MSM dutifully reported bullshit that didn’t even sound right like kids identifying as jet planes & using kitty litter, repeating Rufo who has literally bragged about how he’s gotten weak sauce over with NYTimes because propaganda is a game to them & journos are treating Rw accuracy subjectively

They want to destroy the prople’s govt and hence shouldn’t be trusted near anything for the public good - which they resent:
Socialism for the rich, riots in the street for everyone else

There is a real dynamic at work here where Trump wants CHAOS and the elites are cool with it so long as the market stays strong as per SCOTUS re: Fed Reserve

#ICE & #DHS could EASILY have come in with ID & peacefully apprehended people into marked cars & taken them to be booked. The camo, the brutality, the anonymity is unnecessary. It is for SHOW. It is to intimidate. THEY WANT CHAOS. They are NOT preserving peace, they are DISRUPTING peace
