Tom Wolfe wrote about this. The idea that you need it “explained” to you is precisely the problem.
GWOT veterans... Take 3 minutes and watch this explanation of the elements of the proposed GWOT memorial. It might change your mind. It did mine. Thanks @JDKeelingIII for sending this my way.

Go to dinner. Read a book. Talk with friends. Volunteer. Anything but this.
About 150 people are waiting for a 14-member crew to build the scaffolding needed to remove the 18 offending letters. The atmosphere is festival-like: People have brought their dogs, their partners and their kids. They oohed as lightning spidered across the sky and ahhed at a double rainbow. They cheered when a one-wheel rider zipped through the center's horseshoe driveway in a rainbow crop top and shorts, waving a bisexual pride flag. The Foo Fighters' "My Hero" blasted, followed by a request from a guy shouting to the workers above. "Remove the 'T' first!"

It is a wake-up call about how amazing this country is.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

This design could only come about due to institutional thickness / reliance on “experts.” Literally no human person wants a design like this. It is just what the system spits out. And the plebes are expected to accept it. They shouldn’t. If that’s “populism,” so be it.
A mock-up for a new memorial on the National Mall drew criticism from Republicans and veterans after it was revealed by the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation on Thursday. trib.al/fw2QiFD

It's basically short-form de Tocqueville.

I’m not sure what everyone else’s algorithm is feeding them, but the videos of visitors for the World Cup posting about their experiences in America (including in Red America) is a reminder of how special this country is.

To the extent there is a Nats fan base, they should be excited about the next few years.
This is not a replay. This is live on Friday. That's 4 home runs in 4 games since ELI-TE Willits was promoted. #NextGenNats #Natitude

Looks great! Congress should make this sort of federal building design standard by passing my bill, the Beautifying Federal Civic Architecture Act

For those of you watching Friends & Neighbors, a reminder that Amanda Peet's greatest role is in the minor modern classic SAVING SILVERMAN.

This proposal is a disgrace. Thousands of heroic Americans sacrificed everything in service to our nation during the Global War on Terror. I served in Afghanistan. These were real people with real stories. They deserve to be honored with dignity, not disconnected abstract art.

This design is a disappointing landscape feature better suited to a hotel courtyard or mini golf course than a monument to the courageous men and women who fought and the lives lost to radical Islamic terrorism. There are American designers ready and willing to inspire their countrymen and honor those who served. Let’s start over and hire one of them.

Ummm…this is because many in the media wants Collins to lose and they (and Schumer) think Platner stands in the way. By contrast, they want Talerico to win, so Paxton beating Cornyn was the desired outcome. Now that the primary is over Paxton will get plenty of attention.
I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.

Here is a contemporaneous film review on this point of the religious themes in Cast Away. thecresset.org/FilmArchive/2…

The last 20 minutes of Cast Away are as raw and wonderful today as 25 years ago. Also deeply religious no matter how hard Zemeckis resists making it explicit. I made a rope.

Imagine Platner’s break-in scenario… But delivered by Jerry Seinfeld or Norm MacDonald.

Classic in the genre
The New York Times is basically campaigning for Collins at this point. They're a complete disgrace. Cancel your subscriptions to that rag.

This campaign ain’t funded by Hollywood money or a fancy political machine pulling the strings. It’s mostly just patriots giving a little here and there because they still believe common sense matters. If you can spare a little today, I’d sure appreciate the help.

How many philosophers are there? Straussians: one every couple centuries on average. The academy: at least 303,000 and counting!

Alternatively.... An insubordinate employee got fired.
Some guy named Nick Bilton serving an audience of 1 (Bari) service an audience of 1 (Ellison) serving an audience of 1 (Trump). This is how oligarch-authoritarian takeover of media happens
