In the annus horribilis of 2020, as COVID-19 ravaged the world, a generation that had yet to experience a cataclysm of precisely this nature and scale turned to art for insight into how we might survive it. Contemporary speculative fiction about lethal pathogens, from Ling Ma’s novel Severance to Steven Soderbergh’s movie Contagion, surged in popularity.

  • About Those Evangelicals Who Voted Trump
    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 11/09/2024 - 10:47 AM

    Art Jipson, University of Dayton A growing movement believes President-elect Donald Trump is fighting a spiritual war against demonic forces within the United States. Trump himself stated in his acceptance speech on Nov. 6, 2024, that the reason that “God spared my life” was to “restore America to greatness.” I have studied various religious movements that seek to shape and control American society.

  • Fox's Jesse Watters: Footage Of Deportations Is ‘Gonna Be Hysterical’
    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 11/09/2024 - 09:03 AM

    Given the sheer volume of racism, lies and misogyny that regularly comes out of Jesse Watters' pie hole, this latest comment should be a surprise to no one. Watters weighed in on Trump's plans for mass deportations, consequences be damned, on this Friday's The Five, and apparently Watters believes the visuals of these people being hauled off and families being ripped apart is just going to be hysterical. Watters also sounded a lot like Tucker Carlson with the ridiculous "daddy" remark about Trump. WATTERS: And then deportation.

  • Gov Tim Walz: Don't Mess With Minnesota
    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 11/09/2024 - 08:51 AM

    Gov. Tim Walz gave a speech saying that since "the other side said to leave it up to the states," he's not going to let them fuck with Minnesota. After Harris-Walz's defeat, people point fingers at Biden and sometimes Walz. Are you fucking kidding me? He is the shit. "Look, Minnesota always has and always will be there to provide shelter from the storm," he said.

    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 11/09/2024 - 08:02 AM

    Over at my place I used to have "Tom Waits Friday". Seems like the right kind of music for our parlous times. Tom Waits - "Get Behind the Mule". The Root: Tired of Being Used, Abused By Everyone, Black Women Have Decided on This Unusual Strategy Off Message: Democrats PLEASE Try To Fix This Problem. Jabberwocking: Suddenly we conducted a fair and clean election. Attention space nerds!

  • Trump Puppeteer Musk Joined Post-Election Call With Zelensky
    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 11/09/2024 - 08:00 AM

    No sooner had Donald Trump and his MAGA buddies decided Democrats suddenly failed to steal the presidential election than he and financier Elon Musk got on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The ever-credulous Axios got the scoop: Donald Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday included two surprises: Elon Musk was also on the line, and Zelensky was somewhat reassured by what he heard from the president-elect, two sources with knowledge of the call tell Axios. The word “somewhat” is doing a lot of work there.
