seems like Sydney Sweeney listened to a little too much Red Scare when researching for her role in The White Lotus

lena dunham using a song produced by her ex for a pivotal scene about her ex….. her mind…. truly the voice of a generation.

imagine leaving love island and finding out wwiii had started

Chekhov’s leg lengthening surgery…..

it’s been a long time since i felt such glee

Is Dreams by The Cranberries like, the cheapest song ever to license?

the jordan peterson jubilee video is truly a thing of beauty. it shines so bright i had to stop watching after four minutes for fear of being blinded.

can’t stop thinking abt Red Rooms… the way it reflects and refracts… the most damning indictment of our voyeuristic culture I’ve come across.

i have friends in high places (second hand bookstores)

tried to exercise restraint at the art book fair. only partially successful.

no one’s doing it like he is

you’ll have to pry from my cold dead hands literature about the inexplicable pain and beauty of being a girl

psa there are 143 fanfics featuring andrew tate on AO3

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton. Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

i have much to say about this but for now: i think to demarcate the “womanosphere” from the manosphere neglects a) how deeply inextricable these phenomena are; each rely on the other to exist and b) that women have long played a role in organising, validating, and amplifying right-wing movements

so the new lorde album is almost definitely gonna be about jack antonoff right

I could be the omelas child no problem

i want a mafs x couples therapy crossover

I wrote for Pursuit about the biggest water cooler moment of the year so far, Adolescence, and its portrayal of the manosphere: pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/wha...

pat mcgrath x candy crush is a late capitalist fever dream (don’t ask me how i found this)

my podcast debut!!! thank you to my wonderful friend Louis for having me on and letting me nerd out about the topic that occupies most of my brain space 🥰

yeah the meta announcement is terrible for society at large but at least the future of my job/research has never been more secure

merry christmas i’m showing my dad hypernormalisation (2016)

the femcel shooting is obviously devastating and horrifying but i don’t think we’ve even begun to see/understand the consequences of many young ppl growing up in a “blackpilled” online environment (on top of broader social/economic/political instability)

u gotta lol at how the wealthy elites have spent the last decade+ denigrating the legitimacy of establishment media for their own gain and now they’re trying to use it to manufacture consent and its not working….

i wrote about the TERF talk i attended last week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ open.substack.com/pub/boredcla...

losing my mind at the public TERF lecture

latest ep of search engine is a gr8 case study of how niche subcultural ideas (like mewing/jawmaxxing) can make their way into the mainstream and how the right weaponises the ambiguity of irony to their advantage @pjvogt.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1aj4...

i know i’m late to the party but i watched HyperNormalisation last night and i think it unlocked something inside me

Grimes is a freak but there are few things better to listen to in summer than Art Angels imho

one of the problems with bluesky being so amicable is there’s no one for the menswear guy to dunk on

how to ask my uber driver if i can interview him for my phd……

while i agree on an individual/personal level, it’s not a practical political stance (in the macro) and i think a lot of ppl are conflating the two atm

might fuck around and start posting my recs on here since it seems like the most sensible place to be insufferable in short form (other than letterboxd)

really revelling in having a new social media platform on which context collapse has not yet occurred……

if Girls was made today, Adam would be an antivaxxer
