Things You Just Don't Care About

Should have given them away

it’s what the Red Hot Chili Peppers would have done

The local burlesque scene.

Totally fine that others are giving the needy attention.

I'm going to assume you don't have a take on the local roller derby scene

What Sanpaku thinks about the local burlesque scene

What the local burlesque scene thinks about Sanpaku on other hand...

i've seen some of that so-called burlesque stuff and none of them anything like burl ives wtf

tbf it's only Burl-esque

Spent .01 seconds visualizing Ives coquettishly peeling off a lace stocking and suddenly I've gone blind

Now imagine Charles Ives doing the same

Actually I had to conduct a GIS just now because I realized that the visual distinction between Burl Ives and Sam the Snowman in my mind was not actually all that distinct.

oh they are exactly the same for me, I've always just assumed Ives had no legs

who sings the James Bond theme

Sister dragged me to two shows. It was fun for costumes and Blaze Starr inspired material, but both devolved into full nudie shows, one with the cast getting into shaving cream tangles on the tiny stage. Great for them, but I could have spent the $10 on something I want.

hm yes *temples fingers*

who sings the James Bond theme

I will care about James Bond if they cast Henry Golding as James Bond but that’s it!

Banksy ffs

Christgau's newest post--"The 77 Year Old Rock Critic meets his 77-year-old body"

who works on cable news

Why is the radio news so obsessed with Greggs the sandwich chain's YoY profits? Is this supposed to be a belwether of the whole UK economy now? Or have they selected the only British company who happens to be doing well after Brexit to be an example?

i really really extremely do not care about the nordic saga that is america’s excruciatingly long and boring search for an opposition leader

Ice-cold, man. Considering what I've heard about my friends' parents in the last month, the presidential candidates, etc, in the last few days found its precision chilling.

"Prince" Harry blanking Johnson

I mean, until and unless we ever find out the motivation that is, because something tells me it's because of some years-old insult in a Spectator column and not racism but be happy to be proved wrong

Metaphors aside, I think n+1's editors nailed it in the front pages of a recent issue, which began thusly: "THE WORLD’S RICHEST COUNTRY with the highest rate of child poverty among OECD nations, the United States also enjoys the distinction of having the lowest voter turnout combined with the longest political campaign seasons." And continued:

The permanent campaign offers a spectacle of participation without the mechanisms of participation. Following a candidate and tweeting frenetically in their favor makes you feel like a supporter of not only a person but a worldview. But national campaigns are private affairs driven by money, consultants, and marketers. They drag on for years, and then continue virtually unabated while the candidate is installed in office (or preparing to run for office again). The conservative political scientist Hugh Heclo called the permanent campaign our “Anti-Constitution,” which “prescribes instant responsiveness to the continuous monitoring of the people’s mass opinions and mood. . . . The permanent campaign is not the way Americans do politics, but the way politics is done to them.” Under the spell of the permanent campaign, vocal supporters merely submit, voluntarily, to this “continuous monitoring.” To waste months of one’s life following the minutiae of a campaign is the experience of mass politics in our time.

Well that oughta make Almanac feel better.

n+1 otm

xp I am offering moral support for the position of "not following US elections," an option I wish I could avail myself of!
