I know it gets lost amidst greater decay but I am BEGGING for some left wing figure to do an initiative specifically around prosocial behaviors and public decency. Patience, politeness, honesty, we vastly underrate the effect *constantly treating each other and being treated like shit* has on us.

I am going to tell you an extremely dirty secret about my allegedly pure and profound art consumption. For four years, instead of reading OR watching movies, I would put on a movie VERY quietly and then read a book in the foreground, looking up when the volume level spikes.

I wish there were a substance you could put into your body to relieve pain, but at a cost. Maybe there would be a bloody underground marketplace devoted to the production and sale of the substance. I dunno. Just an idea I had. Also, we could tell children confusing lies about the substance.

Saw someone say comics are inherently right wing and almost dissolved into confetti from how stupid that is it's like saying music is heteronormative. However, a frequent storyline in 60's--90's comics is "superhero breaks up protest and recommends changing the system by engaging with it."

It's tempting to explain everything as MAGA incompetence but I would also argue hiring a WH press secretary who is so brutally incapable of performing the job is a deliberate gesture of contempt towards the press pool and the very concept that the pubic has a right to know things.
