Nancy Pelosi has talked repeatedly about how much this country needs a “strong Republican Party.” Her reward is going to be losing seats to even as Biden wins the popular vote handily. An enormous leadership failure but don’t worry I’m sure she’ll be Speaker again anyway.

I know it’s a small thing, but it’s nice to see basically every critic, programmer and filmmaker I admire take the correct side on Gaza, ArtForum and the rest. Makes me think this community is worthwhile and good rather than merely a bunch of weirdos who watch too many movies.

Remember when Beto, Buttigieg, and Harris were all touted as “progressives” and as young/diverse alternatives to Sanders? Funny how Sanders people were accused of a bunch of stuff for calling them phonies and now all of them are endorsing Biden.

@c0mmunicants I understand why Parasite crossed over. It has genre thrills, is very funny, has the right politics, etc. When I first saw it I predicted it would be a big hit (and even argued with someone at NYFF about it). Drive My Car surprised me.

I’m not saying that everybody who dislikes an acclaimed work of art needs to make a serious effort to understand that work of art and why it is getting acclaim so they can mount a cohesive and substantive argument against it, but I am saying that critics should do that.
