Two album covers side by side. The first is "Keyboard Kapers" by Ferrante and Tischer. The second is "Slanted and Enchanted" by Pavement, for which the Ferrante & Tischer cover photo has been mutilated and painted over to serve Pavement's cover art designs.

This is the smartest thing I’ve read on a potential counter narrative to MAGA.
“Polling can show the elements for a winning strategy, but it takes political leadership to convert the statistics into a coalition.”
