The Lord of the Rings resonates with depth psychology because it is about a special kind of quest. Frodo leaves home not to slay a dragon or win laurels, but to let go of something that will lead to his growth.~June Singer

I’d love to see The Acolyte return. The data shows it was far better received than the loudest voices online would have you believe. Nuanced, character-driven stories about power, legacy, and inner conflict?

this is the absolute best breakdown of what Netflix & streaming have done to the film & TV industry & why the “content” is increasingly, egregiously terrible, the industry is on its knees & everyone is realising that the entire streaming model is smoke & mirrors

Baby, going viral on Twitter was always TRAUMATIC. I don’t think we talk about that enough. And actually, I kinda feel it’s like that on any platform. Even when going viral is what you think you wanted, it very quickly escalates from “whee!!!” to “uh oh” to death threats.

What strikes me about the CEO killer is not his specific beliefs but the fact that he was a very recognizable type of young male ideology tourist. He was a This Explains Everything addict, whether the "this" was as benign as Michael Pollan or as malignant as Peter Thiel and the Unabomber. >

Who would have guessed that "cite your sources" would end up being the most critical lesson I took from high school? Here we are more than 20 years later and I find *checking* and *citing* sources to be one of the most important parts of living in 2024.

Once again furiously remembering how Disney completely wiped the ‘Willow’ series, and cursing the slimy accountant who figured out that mega-monopolies could avoid paying royalties to cast and crew by deleting shows and films from existence; in fact, I’m surprised it didn’t become a big union issue…

I had a shower thought similar to this today, star wars would rather kill the franchise with nostalgia than admit stories like TLJ and The Acolyte are what they need the most and theyre good (and that romance sells: All the reylo adjacent debut novels)

This is infuriating. "It never happened because the show 'didn’t want to delve into politics'... the Harris team got that reaction nearly 'across the board' when trying to book [Harris] on the same types of non-political media that happily welcomed Trump.

I really don’t have feelings one way or another about Zutara but people under estimate the power of alchemical union symbolism (union of opposites) we psychologically crave it and if you are affected by it even through fiction it will change you permanently.

The decision not to effectively prosecute Trump was not caused by, but led to people not taking January 6 seriously. If he had been in the dock sometime in 2021, people would still view him as a dangerous madman; Democrats waited four years to wave the bloody shirt and by then it had faded.

Tariffs poll well despite the fact that they would be disastrous for most people if implemented for the same reason mass deportations do. It's not economic, it's cultural. People like the idea of a virile strongman restoring American's wealth by brutalizing the dark-skinned people who took it.
