Trump is the ultimate president for the current state of stocks and speculation bc both are so divorced from reality that even the prior levels of bullshit look honest. Trump says four things at once so everyone can play “choose your own adventure” and make Line Go Up no matter what. Until now.

One of the most powerful aspects of the story told in THE SECRET AGENT: how many families were torn apart not directly by the dictatorship but by the powerful friends of the dictatorship who wanted to use the “period of great mischief” to settle petty vendettas they held against people

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

I have watched the first season of The Pitt straight through four times, I love it, but I think the second season will have more long term replayability once it’s all said and done. They’ve built the characters out very smartly this season, including in ways that convey the time jump w/o exposition

Everyone incl. me received the news that The Pitt had an ICE plot that was “balanced” with anxiety, but unless these guys showed up in Hugo Boss uniforms and Dr Robby said “no one is illegal on stolen ground” idk how you could have a more viscerally disgusted depiction of ICE chuds in a drama

I can’t get over that the last 15 years or so of cultural conversation has litigated “art vs artist” debates to a new level, almost always over dead people. Yet presented with cases like Rowling and WWE where your support is transparently used to fund ongoing evil out come the “I need my stories!”

The downside of globalism was its exploitation by capital to weaken labor across the world. Its upshot was an interconnected trade system (theoretically) reduced the chances of reckless war. But the ppl who profited off the former convinced the ppl they immiserated that it was bad bc of the latter

Bizarrely, this is the GYBE album I listen to the least, perhaps bc it’s the one that seems most like post-rock at its most general in the crest-ebb swell approach. And yet, it sets the bar so high that at best others only ever equal it

Haven’t seen this yet but once again if you’ve ever so much as seen stills of what Satyajit Ray films used to look like, the restoration work being done on these seems like borderline magic.

Thinkin' of the YouTubers who have spent the past years loudly noticing Disney ♥s to trot out animatronics at conferences that will either never appear in-park or only appear in brief, limited capacities, cuz they've adopted a tech model where their focus is appealing to shareholders, not customers.

Saw them in 2024 and Bruce has had to make some adjustments from time and his cancer, and poor Nicko clearly wasn’t going to be able to keep touring, but they still sounded amazing and had unreal energy. Bruce absolutely sounds better on every post-reunion live album than he did on Live After Death

It seems vaguely perfect that My Bloody Valentine’s back catalog went off streaming in the US not as a protest but seemingly due to convoluted label rights shenanigans.

It’s a real shame that the MCU Spider-Man films have been so bad because casting an actor with a dance background to play Peter is one of the single smartest decisions in the entire franchise umbrella and then they put him in dim sludge with politics better suited to Norman Osborn

The funniest possible outcome is that Dune 3 does well enough that whatever oblivious exec runs WB or its carcass by then calls for adaptations of books 4-6 at which point Villeneuve will pretend to not speak English and it’ll somehow drip down to Colin Trevorrow
