The sunny side of this delusion is the computer gives you a flying car and makes it so you don't have to work. The blackpill one is that it wipes us out via some cinematic method TBD. Two futures you don't actually have to live in. Both are abdications, and embarrassingly childish on their face.
Kind of feel like getting into bed and vanishing like old sick Yoda
More and more I read shallow art criticism from people accustomed to writing product reviews, and what keeps precipitating out is an instinct to autobiographize, as though the displacement has occurred in the viewer, not the text. It kind of is all bean soup recipes, all the way down
Movies Silently@moviessilently.bsky.social · 5d agoEvery moviegoer has seen problematic stuff, no era of movies is perfect, that isn't what this is about. I just feel that so much old movie discourse is people trying to do scholarship while wearing their fandom hat.

Fuck genius. Or anything other than what we make with many hands. Injecting mixed thoughts into the superstructure, into the fight between classes, into the annals of history's radical traditions means finding theory in the most meagre places. The most squalid atmosphere. - Lola Olufemi

Fantasizing about a future where archaeologists in five thousand years unearth a culture replete with this striking iconography; what could it have meant to the primitives and how was it used in their simple but beautiful rituals?

True crime has really just broken people’s brains. Millions of people perpetually worried that they’re at acute risk of vanishingly rare crimes, convinced we should curtail civil liberties as a result. A generation who thinks of accusing strangers of heinous crimes as simple entertainment
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his balls? "No!" Says Lil Jon, "It belongs to the windows! To the walls!"
Stories can be improved via the inclusion of lesbians
When we talk about "civil rights," it's important to keep in mind that the right of women and girls to access the public sphere without being subjected to sexual violence or harassment is usually considered less important than the free speech rights of men to harass them.
Love to read such dry, clinical descriptions of my own boring psyche
This has come to be my opinion of most media discourse. The policing of others' likes and dislikes in art is just a displacement of the anxiety that our moral outrage is not enough to implement even such token requests as "please don't rub it in our faces that rapists and pedophiles rule over us."
To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.
ashley (ravens 1-1) 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 2mo agotrans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
this could be how I decide a lot of stuff going forward tbh
they should invent a video game where it has stuff in it i like and nothing i don't
1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov · 2mo agoSounds like gender-affirming care to me.
"How's your new book about the concept of time coming along?" Carlo Rovelli:
If, in the course of decrying any of America's many problems, you feel the need to use another country or culture as some kind of shorthand that epitomizes the problem (a country which often exists in the context of America's globally destabilizing influence) I'm gonna mute you
Having been castigated for years for pointing out the obvious Libertarian themes of every Brad Bird movie, all this does is make me remember that there is never a point in debating Libertarianism on its own merits because if you wait long enough the sexual predation always emerges
JeffMovieMan #BlockTheMerger@jeffmovieman.bsky.social · 3mo agoAre y'all sure you wanna gas up Ray Gunn if Brad Bird is gonna tapdance around working with sexual predator John Lasseter? Are you? 🤨
I remember the bartender leaping on the bar to dance where I worked in Grand Rapids the night we heard the news
