Dems should not work with MAHA

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · last wk.

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

7. The film centers Odysseus's guilt over his war crimes, but never shows us the POV of his victims, and instead glorifies the perpetrator for feeling bad about himself. I found this unsatisfying ethically and worse, imaginatively, because Damon's character is given only one mood (Troubled).

6. Nolan tries to pack a lot of Incidents and Big Ideas into this film, but they do not seem to me to hang together coherently on the level of his own plot and the movie's constructed system of values. Instead, it's foisting a didactic point about Our Times onto the plot without integrating it.

Just because i haven't seen these mentioned: I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, and Cassadaga by Bright Eyes Or White Blood Cells, Elephant, Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes Or Ten, Vs., Vitalogy by Pearl Jam

Some of my favorite shows growing up were I Love Lucy and Hogan's Heroes and it's sad to think that most kids will never encounter Seargant Schultz or Fred Mertz

Altaira Morbius@altairamorbius.bsky.social · last wk.

Not even joking that, as a teacher, the fact that kids aren’t encountering shows like Frasier is part of why we’re seeing such weird gaps in reading. We built a lot of background knowledge with humor aimed at grownups, while they only see content aimed specifically at their personal interests/age.
