Just read Brian Aldiss’s “Billion Year Spree,” a history of sci-fi c. 1971, and he has an aside about how it’s hard to imagine sci-fi movies overtaking westerns. Thought of that reading this “Horizon” pan variety.com/2024/film/ne...

If only the Democratic Party had some sort of, I don’t know, national committee that could deliberate and make decisions without needing to resort to the world’s shittiest reality show.

Things seem bleak but it’s probably a bad sign for Republicans that people have started mentioning their actual goals and political blueprint and their response is “how fucking dare you??”

They tried this four years ago with varying results. The far better use of the money is by buying existing local TV stations and newspapers and staffing them properly

if there is one thing I want to come out of this election, regardless of result, it is Dems - and the left more generally - finally understanding that they need to make their own media ecosystem and stop relying on folks who want them to lose to get their message out

i'm not an expert in french politics but it seems like the broadly applicable conclusion is that the best way to defeat fascism is to support the not-fascist candidate who has the best chance of winning, regardless of whether you identify as a leftist or a centrist and have to vote for the other

seems like what happened in france is that centrism and leftism each identified the other as the favorable alternative to fascism, voters who identify with either accepted this as true, and the far-right was marginalized as a result, which is... the opposite of pitting them against one another?

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.
