I regret pumping up the ticket numbers. I’m planning on waiting till it’s on streaming for that reason (obv that still counts, but it’s diffuse enough that I can lie to myself).

Anybody see the film One Battle After Another yet? I’m curious if it’s as a big a piece of agitprop as the glowing reviews paint it to be.

On the New Hampshire country club shooting, note that the Republican Attorney General of New Hampshire says that the shooter was just yelling shit to cause chaos.

I pretty regularly use sir/ma’am with strangers, especially in commercial/business settings as a middle class American in the Midwest.

I think it would be something like referring to the MAGA person as “cis.”

Are non-right media sources really acknowledging the bullet engravings yet? I think the MSM is still sticking to the “the engravings came from internet culture, so we can’t actually assign any significance to the anti-fascist engravings” talking point.
There's a clear througline; all three stories deal with Blue Team messaging that's playing fast and loose with the truth. A moderate governor of a Blue state nakedly lies in a way that denies the legitimacy of the Trump Admin. Blue MSM aggressively downplays the evidence/possibility that vandalism is at least partially to blame for exacerbating the Reflecting Pool debacle. Blue academia gives a (probably) grossly inflated casualty figures for the effect of Red policy.
I think it's useful/interesting as a little snapshot of some of the current media going-ons. The first two are unlikely to be remembered a few months down the line, the third will be one small piece of all the ink spilled about Red Team attempts to alter America's international status quo, but all three are examples of the kind of deception that's contributing to the break-down of consensus reality.
