The Last Art Critic
1.4K posts
Here’s Ben Stein in 1979 describing television as an engine of cultural demoralization. He argues that a small clique of producers and writers pushed a left-coded inversion of reality onto the public. They despised traditional power centers and hated figures like Buckley. They propagandized the nation into accepting a fake world where businessmen are villains, criminals are the good-guys, small towns are sinister, military officers are proto-fascists, and work barely exists.
Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost@Ne_pas_couvrir
In the 1970s Ben Stein interviewed major TV producers/writers to ask why their portrayal of US culture was so distorted. Businessmen were evil. Real life crime was always depicted inaccurately, favoring instead the Marxist narratives on race, class, and culture of the new left.

@StudentDotCom @twistartups That was embarrassing to watch.

@twistartups What an incredible disappointment. You guys are completely out of touch if you don't understand how obnoxious this is. What a bummer to lose so much respect for Van Halen as well.

When Bank of America wouldn’t let Jason take out $20K from his account for a Vegas trip… he decided it was time for a new financial partner.
So he called three banks and asked each one to send him $10K in $2 bills. One delivered… and became his new bank.
It’s the classic “Van Halen rider” test. If you still see Brown M&Ms in the proverbial bowl, the venue didn’t read your rider, and doesn’t really value your business.
A vital lesson in picking your partners with diligence.

@AirDribblePrick @sciencegirl And, and you’d like a dork with that on your guitar.
English
@ishitinpools @sciencegirl Maybe so, but this feels like it's complicating the learning. Basic chord shapes are not that difficult to learn when you begin, and stands you in good stead later down the line.
English
A device that attaches to a guitar, using buttons to press chords, simplifying learning.

@RadioGenoa 1) the woman is not that great looking
2) they re on the same team
3) he ll have to wear his magic glasses again to hide the bruised eye

Macron flirts with a beautiful woman, even winking at her. What will happen when he returns home to his wife?
English
@AirDribblePrick @sciencegirl Actually, it’s a great way to shift concentration to rhythm, picking, strumming techniques
English
@sciencegirl This is dumb, literally only shows you where the root note of the chords are, and even then not all are correct, e.g. the G button. And as you can see the user's fingering for say the C button shows they have learnt nothing!

@xav_moss @coldhealing I don’t know any woman in her 40s who wants a 60 year old man. Men are really getting ridiculous about the expectation of who women should date. Total lala land. 60 is another stratosphere.

Speaking as a private citizen and voter, this is not normal behavior. It must be stopped. Judge Milliron uses the authority of the bench to threaten people with jail for merely doing their jobs.

'Man Reading.' (1904) John Singer Sargent's portraits balance looseness and definition, what might be called Old Master-casual; faces and hands rendered just tightly enough to stay alive. The sitter is Nicola d'Inverno, Sargent's Italian valet and a frequent model.

@Steve_Sailer @MattZeitlin Blacks should do land acknowledgements
English
@MattZeitlin White on black gentrification is largely restricted to Bedford-Stuyvesant, in part because the NYPD has done such a good job bringing down the crime rate. Elsewhere, blacks are pushed out by immigrants, but you are only supposed to criticize whites, so that goes unreported.
English
very little of urban american is undergoing gentrification

@manivebeenthere I hired interns from an HBCUs and only one managed to finish the 10hrs of very easy work. I was traumatized to realize these people are anywhere in the workforce.
English
@itsthewealth4me Ya but those doctors and engineers are not competent at the same level.
Teachers? Lawyers? Just professions of fakers anyway.
English
This is one reason why I keep saying everything can't be a comparison
Despite being only about 3% of all colleges in the U.S., HBCUs are producing:
~70% of Black doctors
~70–80% of Black dentists
~50% of Black lawyers
~50% of Black teachers
~40% of Black engineers
AL.com@aldotcom
A new bipartisan bill sponsored by Britt and Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Georgia, would establish a federal clearinghouse of all available federal grant opportunities for HBCUs to help them apply for federal funding. al.com/politics/2026/…

@808kakarot @b_rawww22 @tonyrigatonee Yes, he said that. And also set slaves free. Is that new knowledge to you? The Civil War?

Black people benefitted from slavery
🏛 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 🏛@nonregemesse
Which opinion about history will get you like this?
English
@b_rawww22 @tonyrigatonee They owe Republicans like Abraham Lincoln who went to war and set them free.
English
@tonyrigatonee I love how like racist Republicans just say something and think that’s what needs to be done so you need to give more of an explanation of why these people owe you something instead of you owing them for For slavery

@feelsdesperate What’s the take if the MTA wasn’t corrupt
English
Congestion pricing forces some people to take public transportation so that some people can drive marginally faster, all in service of feeding more money into the maw of a bloated, corrupt MTA that no one has will or interest or ability to reform.
That this is celebrated as a major victory just reveals how sorry the state of technocratic progressivism is right now.
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
That congestion pricing is working -- like, really really working! -- is important for the larger effort to restore faith in govt. Take big swings, get big results that people can actually feel.

@GenModAfro @Alt_Azn You should Grok check your own stats and read the reasons
English
@Alt_Azn Isn’t funny when you say Black people don’t understand per capita but now saying the number reflect reality? Let’s use per capita for exonerations they make up 13% of population but make up 53% of exonerations! 7x more to be wrongfully convicted!
English
@tab_delete You can’t work in MSM without being a committed liar. Why do you think we’re all on X?
English
Journalists uncover fraud, report on abuses of power, and provide on-the-ground dispatches from war zones.
That’s not a money grab.
Accountability reporting is expensive and difficult and undertaken because otherwise these things remain hidden.
@jason@Jason
@tab_delete Biased journalism, as the NYT, FOX News and WIRED practice it, is the opposite of a public interest -- it's a selfish money grab. By picking a side and giving up objectivity, you get more page views and that pathetic trickle of subs you're trumpeting.
English
@WHellHaus @garrytan Nobody said “black” but you.
But yeah of course he was black.
English
@garrytan You racist POS. You see the middle of an altercation between a black kid and a white man and immediately think it's the black kids fault. And you're advocating for what exactly, throwing him in jail? You know nothing about what was happening here other than their race

Juvenile criminal justice system has become a slap on the wrist and free gift card system

@ssvilhauer @Jillie_Alexis Of course I do. Everyone does. Only because it’s so accurate. So why is everyone so offended?
English
A Black “comedian” put on full white face to mock a widow whose husband, and father of her two young children, was publicly assassinated.
That’s not comedy, it’s cruel and gross.
And the only reason it’s being tolerated is because she’s a white, conservative Christian. The double standard is appalling.
English
@MelikAbdul_ @Jillie_Alexis There is no correction to be made here. He’s a vile racist who needs to be disciplined.
English
@Jillie_Alexis Correction: A Black comedian put on full white face to mock a woman CEO of the most influential conservative orgs who regularly appears on major cable news, interviews Hollywood celebrities, and makes special appearances on Capitol Hill and the White House.
