Mary Anne Carter Appointed New Acting Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts

Unlike other Trump appointees, the new chair of the NEA seems informed and somewhat engaged with the department she will oversee.

After all, it’s not that she has nothing to say–she just says it with more distance and irony than mass audiences as large as hers expect. Simply by virtue of existing, Lana Del Rey the dramatis persona packs plenty of socially redeeming statements into her music, statements about sexuality, about gender relations, about class; she also leaves so much ambiguous that anybody unwilling to suspend his or her disbelief will find her incomprehensible. Lana Del Rey is not a character you like, exactly, and much about her feels monstrous. But this only adds to the allure of a charming, familiar, and also novel figure straight out of classic American myth yet reimagined for the present modern world.

hello, these are the monsters we (America) have (has) created
