They think a great deal of their position; don't let one of them ever persuade you he doesn't, for if you were to proceed on that basis you'd be pulled up very short."

Waiting for amateur demographers to create a cohort called Cheesecake Factory Voters.

I've spent the last 2 years on a reworking of Kafka's The Castle about an average American from the countryside who is desperately trying to get inside the walls of the near mythical Cheesecake Factory and they just.... tweeted it out.

As long as there are grifters and crackpots, the dream of Alberta independence will be kept alive.

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

devastated. i’m a blue collar parent in a swing state who was going to surprise my daughter with dinner at the cheesecake factory, the fanciest restaurant of all time. but now my daughter says cheesecake factory is “mid,” because of obama, and she is changing her name to mark.

Out of touch liberal elites don’t understand that for the average American the Cheesecake Factory is the nicest place they can imagine. For these people, sweatpants are like tuxedos. They think of Tweety Bird as a kind of God. Don’t you dare condescend to them.
You ever watch a movie and think what is happening makes no sense and is ridiculous but my god, it's working for me, so let's go with itm

It doesn’t matter if a critic thinks a film is good or bad. The important part is how they arrive at their conclusion.

The subtext is also that a male can permanently disempower and dominate a female by raping her because the female's "sin" of being a rape victim is far worse than the actual sin of rape.
