It baffles me why publishers don’t hire any of the scores of talented artists, instead of settling for rubbish. My son told me last night that this is his favourite picture in his story book. It’s by Arthur Rackham

Am I the only mom who gets annoyed by how ugly the illustrations are in modern children's books? It's like they put effort into making them look horrible and depressing. Why?

Even British normies have this curious 'bratty sub' relationship with America, they 100% feel morally superior and haughty enough to condemn 'Trump' or 'the 2nd amendment' or 'US healthcare' while lacking the most basic knowledge of American geography, history, politics...

British dirtbag "anti-yankism" is the most contrived "position" I've ever seen on here- you think I'm joking but it actually does revolve around imbuing various fetish objects like "pints" and "bangers and mash" with some magical negating power in opposition to a completely imaginary American influence

Rock and roll/rockabilly was a mix of black blues and white hillbilly music. Blues is argued to have had some rhythmical influence from West African music but the the 12-bar blues progression relies on functional harmony rooted in European tonal systems, including the diatonic scale and common chord progressions found in Western music. European folk music, hymns, ballads, and dance forms (such as those from the British Isles) frequently employed similar strophic (verse-repeating) structures, simple harmonic sequences, and the I–IV–V relationships. Enslaved African Americans encountered these through exposure to European instruments (guitar, fiddle, harmonica, piano), church music, marching bands, and folk songs of British settlers. The call and response features of African folk music may have influenced Blues and rock but call and response was present in the earliest Protestant songs in Scotland (lining out) and England and this was hugely influential on American gospel music which influenced popular black music later. I am not saying “whites invented the blues” as that would be as pathetic as trying to claim that “rock music is black”. Music history is complicated but this fantastic narrative that blacks invented popular music is so stupid and ahistorical.

Americans really, really do not like progressive ideology. They liked liberal ideology. When liberalism gave way to progressivism, Americans started to walk away.
The Missing Data Depot@data_depot

New YouGov report on American partisanship between 2007 and 2025 shows that with the one exception of college educated white men, every major demographic group in the US has become more Republican on balance over the last 20 years.

I’ve never really been on a date with anyone who cared about bodycount or relationship history stuff, so all this discourse is flying over my head.

@HistoryBoomer Im not sure is stats tell the story they can be interpreted any which way same as other forms of disembodied information. I find it more interesting how we humans almost universally project our particular assumptions about moral imperatives onto the framing of others motivations

I have regular political arguments with a buddy, and when he says Americans are racist, etc., because they voted for Trump, I counter that most Americans have only the vaguest clue why they voted. They're ill-informed about everything. He finds it hard to believe they don't know who Trump really is because in his bubble (that I share), we're hyper-informed on these things. Matthew's essay backs me up! This line rang especially hard: "just know for sure that your intuitions are no good." That's why I love data. I want to see numbers, not just vibes from people who live like me. (And my buddy sometimes checks my Twitter feed, so Hi "Bob!")

If you have the basic skills to participate in the discourse at all — like you can read and comprehend a New York Times article in order to complain about it — you’re in a weird, out of touch, elite bubble. slowboring.com/p/in-defense-o…
