Why is this desirable or necessary? Are we fresh out of stories to tell? Are the “content creators” in Hollywood so desperate for eyeballs that they’ll vomit up any IP of the past, hoping to exploit nostalgia while delivering another boring ass retelling of a story that somehow evades everything anyone enjoyed about said story?

Interesting glimpse of American Christian nationalist youth culture.

This unchristian, unamerican oldie was pleased to read that Turning Point USA could be losing steam.

What Bari Weiss is doing to CBS in general and 60 Minutes in particular is an unforgivable attack on the freedom of US television news.

Less serious, but significant nonetheless, is the harm Weiss has wreaked on attempts by some US liberals to question groupthink in some quarters of academia, the media, and the nonprofit sector.

By her using the pose of a "radical centrist" questioning "woke orthodoxy" to strengthen right wing power in education and the media, she has made honest and productive debate about conformity and freedom of expression even more difficult than it already was.

I cannot abide her bad faith posturing!

Holiday Season Shifts: Faith's Diminishing Role, Economic Debates Spark Discussions

Many Americans celebrate holidays without religion. Debates grow about the economic cost of federal holidays. What does this mean for you?

https://newsletter.tf/us-holidays-less-religion-economic-talk/

Fewer Americans are linking holidays to religion. Some leaders say federal holidays cost billions, but others say businesses still work and sales increase.

Seriously, I do not think that the Washington press dinner shooting was staged by the Trump regime.

That some intelligent people think otherwise shows how deeply Trump and other right wingers have degraded public discourse in the USA.

I've been thinking about the hoodie recently.

>>... no other garment is so charged, or so fraught, in this country as the hoodie. <<

My own dislike for the garment makes me uncomfortable. How much of my distaste springs from ugly prejudices about race, class, and age buried within me?

Then I start to wonder how much of my agonized reflection is not only an ultimately futile attempt to suppress my own aesthetic responses but also an unproductive focus on the individual psyche rather than on the structures of society.

Working with lots of young men in hoodies prompted these thoughts, as did...
