Pre-Covid, I always thought the 1918 flu memories were just overshadowed by WWI. But now, it’s clearly something about pandemics that just do things to collective memory. I don’t know whether this is unique to modernity but it‘s clear that humans react differently to this type of trauma.

David Nakayama@davidnakayama.bsky.social · last mo.Wow, so #Supergirl was great actually!🔥For me, this was the antidote to all the lackluster, soulless superhero movies we’ve had recently. It’s a character piece about grief and anger that feels real and human for a change. The emotions are so clear on Milly Alcock’s face! A must-see see in IMAX!🙌🔥
