2024: The Year the Media Lost
The Gloat Zone is a great place to be. Whether it’s in football or politics, the aftermath of a big victory is an occasion for soaking in the feel-good endorphin bath, and laughing at the follies of your defeated opponent. Victory is always sweetest when it’s an upset, staging a fourth-quarter comeback after your opponent […]
A Product of the Crazy-Making Factory
Notice the slogan on Natalie Rupnow’s T-shirt: “KMFDM,” a reference to Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid (“no pity for the majority”), a German rock band whose fans included Columbine High School gunman Eric Harris.
