Where @ethanz tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:

"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

From @drjaredwesley.substack.com "Some #Conservative leaders in the West are refusing to do the hard work of building bridges across provinces. Instead, they are undermining national #institutions, elevating regional #grievances, and offering what we might call #performative #disengagement. The tactic may win headlines and satisfy the base, but it weakens the broader Conservative project at a critical moment in our country’s history."
