As a fellow white man who, in contrast to Stewart and Maher, has never enjoyed all the perks and privileges heterosexuality affords, I can only say that I long since began turning a deaf ear to Stewart and Maher and men like them.

Privilege blinds. Unexamined privilege — and the colossal privilege afforded striaght white men is too seldom examined by said men — spectacularly blinds.

As Doktor Zoom writes, "He sure seems reluctant to see that the problem isn’t that we’re 'polarized,' but that we’re under assault and maybe the problem isn’t that in the face of gathering fascism, some people are going overboard by burning some Teslas…."

I'm reading similar commentary about another icon of many US liberals, Bill "But Trump's So Charming and Nice" Maher.

Wonkette's Doktor Zoom has good, zingy commentary on Jon Stewart's "who could have imagined" admission that his anodyne, misleading both-sideism about Biden-Trump and Democrats-Republicans didn't see what a lot of the rest of us saw coming: savagery, looming dictatorship, real horrors.

I listened to Jon Stewart interview Michael Lewis about his new book the other day.

In the book, it extolls the amazing government workers who are currently demonized by the right wing media. It's yet another reason to be angry about DOGE and the cuts.

Then I saw this story about how they made these trading cards in Japan.

... and it occurred to me that someone should make a trading card game for all the government workers in the US. The "faceless bureaucrats" who do the thankless hard work and never get any real recognition. It might help humanize government workers to a public which apparently has no idea what government does.

I, for one, would love a Arthur A. Allen trading card.

I'm a bit fuzzy on what a good game mechanic would be in order to highlight things like engineering acumen or systems design. Guess I'll leave that to a game designer.
