Does this analogy work?
Kid Rock is to Bad Bunny as Bobby Riggs is to Billy Jean King

A Metamodern Take on Kareem Rahmaโ€™s Subway Takes Kareem Rahma's metamodern interviews with subway riders.

If youโ€™re not yet addicted to Kareem Rahmaโ€™s short-form interview show, you should be! And either way, you should read my article about what makes it so marvelously metamodern.

Making the true art that you really want to make is a rebellion against fascism and enshittification. Even โ€“ or especially โ€“ if it is not in any obvious way ABOUT fascism or oppression. Don't let the bastards beat you down!

Can you imagine sitting in a theater and watching 105 minutes of this on a big screen?

The MAGA understanding of the 2nd Amendment is that it protects the right of MAGAs, whether they belong to law enforcement or are civilians, to use guns to kill the people they dislike, whether they are in law enforcement or civilians.

Also both of them were directing or guiding traffic shortly before they were murdered.

It's absurd that some people think he was knocked over and then got back up in time to get ANY of those shots off from any angle.

The ICE budget is welfare for pardoned January 6 convicts and other aspiring criminals and bullies.

I'm guessing I'm older you, I'm older GenX, but to me a terrorist is someone who uses violence against random people to draw attention to what they conceive as an injustice perpetrated by the government of those random people.

Yes! It was structurally impossible for Theranos to deliver on its claims because of the smallness of the product. Similarly, it is structurally impossible to provide a robust educational milieu โ€“ let alone "viewpoint diversity" โ€“ with such a small faculty and student population. Not a real school.

Of course they don't have authority to require people to open their doors, but they also do not have authority to block the street.

Also, at the moment we hear the first gun shot, his phone camera is showing the side of the car, not the front of the car. I think he was standing just past the corner of the car and before she's made the turn he was able to shoot through the very side of the windshield, but from the side.

The view from his phone jerks and there is a thumping noise. I think that's what people assume is him getting hit by the car, but it's the sound of his gunshot and the jerking is the recoil from the shot. Or him moving the phone-holding arm to keep his balance.

Also, we can see that he had already recorded her license plate. If she had done anything illegal, he had everything he needed to eventually track her down (or have the real cops to it). There was no need for him to be near the front of the car.

Getting ridiculed by the neighborhood dads for your crappy driving skills has got to sting pretty hard for these kinds of guys.

I think Jack Kimble is a parody account. Look him up.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains

Super creepy that she projects anything that doesn't go in her favor as the work of "The Enemy."

Of course then there is the question: Why wasn't Jesus able to counter The Enemy and keep her tablet charged?

Do you mean a time capsule of the time it was produced? Or of the time it depicts?
