"I don't get my dander up about MAGA heel turns anymore, because so many real life heroes of mine have already swallowed that pill. James Woods was one of my favorite actors in the world, now he's been firmly established as one of the greatest assholes to ever live. Mel Gibson was my favorite action movie hero when I was a kid; he also joined the asshole factory."
"Are you trying to get murdered, Chris? Do you know how insane people online get about David Bowie, let alone Freddie Mercury? Why not fire a stray at Steely Dan while you're at it? This is the musical opinion equivalent of sharing a romantic bath with your toaster. Don't let our commenters know where you live (to our commenters: please don't murder Chris)."
Reader letters cover varied cultural gripes, from eating with one’s mouth open to Epstein-related corruption and extended TV title sequences. One reader imagines the heartbreaking sight of The Dude from The Big Lebowski wearing a MAGA hat and becoming cranky. Exhaustion with public figures turning toward MAGA or bigotry is evident, citing James Woods, Mel Gibson, and Dave Chappelle as examples and suggesting many comedians and metal artists are now compromised. A reader says Belle praising Olivia Nuzzi would be disappointing. Another letter warns about fierce online reactions to opinions on David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, and Steely Dan and asks commenters not to threaten murder.
