There was a time when we could poke fun at each other's expense. When no offense was taken and everyone laughed together. Somewhere along the road, the good-natured fun stopped being funny. The judgements were delivered harshly and without a sense of friendliness. 
With that in mind, enjoy this joke about cow manure, delivered by Ronald Reagan  in just such a way. Poking fun, having a laugh and getting on with governing. Let's look forward to a resonant time when it's hard to be offended and easy to laugh.

        How Pop Culture Can Save Democracy: Lessons From Just Do It to Designated Drive

Sep 01, 2025
In the late 1980s, the Harvard Alcohol Project did just that. By embedding the term designated driver into prime-time television—from Cheers to L.A. Law—they didn’t just coin a phrase. They changed people’s behavior. The campaign was credited with helping reduce alcohol-related traffic fatalities by nearly 30% over the following decade. President George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, along with organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, endorsed the movement, amplifying its reach.
They made sober driving socially admirable, not awkward. And they proved that when language meets culture, norms shift.

        La Ventanita: Uniting Conservative Mothers and Liberal Daughters

When Northwestern theater and creative writing junior Lux Vargas wrote and brought to life La Ventanita, she created a space of rest and home for those who live in the grief of not belonging anywhere, yet still yearn for a sense of belonging together. By closing night, Vargas had mothers and daughters, once splintered by politics, in each other's arms. In a small, sold-out theater in Evanston, the story on stage became a mirror: centering on mothers who fled the country and daughters who left again for college.
Performed four times on May 9 and 10, La Ventanita unfolds in a fictional cafecito window inspired by the walk-up restaurant counters found throughout Miami. “The ventanita breeds conversations and political exchange,” said Vargas.

        Cowboy Carter Tour: A Pop Culture Reckoning and a Blueprint for Resistance

When you walk out of a Beyoncé show, especially one like the record-breaking July 14 run in Atlanta, you don't just leave with a T-shirt and some grainy iPhone or Android footage for Instagram. You emerged from a three-hour-plus experience awe-inspired and different. And if you're paying attention, you realize you've just witnessed one of the realist, most radical forms of democratic resistance we have in American pop culture.
My wife and I have attended plenty of sports and entertainment events, from Broadway to the Super Bowl in Vegas. But nothing comes close to the communal, transformative energy that filled the Mercedes-Benz Stadium when Beyoncé took the stage. Cowboy Carter wasn't just another concert. It was a cultural event, a political rally, a spiritual experience, and a masterclass in creative sovereignty, all rolled into one.

        A Cruel Season at the Bus Stop
    
Michael Varga
Aug 23, 2025
The poem you’re about to read is not a quiet reflection—it’s a flare shot into the night. It emerges from a moment when the boundaries between surveillance and censorship feel increasingly porous, and when the act of reading itself can be seen as resistance. The poet draws a chilling parallel between masked agents detaining immigrants and the quiet erasure of books from our schools and libraries. Both, he argues, are expressions of unchecked power—one overt, the other insidious.
This work invites us to confront the slippery slope where government overreach meets cultural suppression. It challenges us to ask: What happens when the stories we tell, the knowledge we share, and the communities we protect are deemed threats? And who gets to decide?
