True, and who better to help head up TRUTH social than the man who filed frivolous lawsuits because his feelings were hurt by a Twitter troll cosplaying a cow on his family farm? Very 1st amendment, Devin

Santa Fe Opera used to do Wagner, Mozart and... weird Russian shit. I mean, it was Santa Fe. So I saw Serov's Judith at the age of 15. I Shostakovich's The Nose at like 9. Which... I mean, this dude's nose jumps off his face and becomes a member in parliament, with epaulets and everything. Then a buddy's drama class did Ionesco like sophomore year in high school.

I guess what I'm saying is I grew up steeped in Soviet/Russian satire and propaganda about the overreaching and absurd powers of The State and I'm less than cool with how topical these memories feel. Dude's nose in epaulets/congressman suing an imaginary cow? Kinda same/same.
