One day it will stop irritating me how much my online peers talk about being online in the 90s like it was a universal experience. But today is not that day. Those halcyon times you’re reminiscing about were when people like me whose family couldn’t afford it weren’t online yet.

Seeing a book review spending time worrying about what genre the book is and sighing gently to myself.
Derrida & Ronell: "every text participates in one or several genres, there is no genreless text; there is always a genre and genres, yet such participation never amounts to belonging.”

I have two extremely old-mannish language opinions. The first, more frustrating one is about language creep- where words or terms get popular and start being used by people who don’t really know what they mean…

I think this might be an obsolete idea in the era of internet enabled cultural fragmentation, but if there is an answer to this I think it’s probably Barbie.
What 2020s movie has the greatest cultural footprint?
Note: This is not necessarily about box office, Oscars, critical acclaim, though all of those can count. It's more... pieces of it have so completely permeated our cultural groundwater that it will always be there.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

The doctor tells Robert, age 45, that he has extensive cancer. The prognosis is grim, to say the least. Robert, a bit of a loose cannon, favors alternative treatments. He decides to treat it himself with 18 hits of LSD. His trip is harrowing.

what
This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

what
Just a reminder that Britain First has never been proscribed as a terrorist group, despite actively encouraging violence and being clearly linked to at least two very public acts of violent terrorism, one of which was the murder of an MP.

Important craft of writing thread
If you've ever read Alan Moore's essay WRITING FOR COMICS (1985), there's a bit in it where he talks about scene transitions and page turns and how they're the weakest points of the "magic spell" of comics, as in you can lose the flow and take the reader out of the story with that physical action.

You know, I feel like we all stopped talking about what a fucking fantastic movie Monkey Man is far too quickly. What do you mean “it’s been two years?” Yeah, and? Star Wars was nearly fifty years ago, we’re all still banging on about that, and Monkey Man is way better

The very smallest nuclear bombs that currently exist, the ones colloquially known as “tactical nukes”, are exponentially larger than those used do destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Long range nuclear weapons are orders of magnitude bigger again. There is no possibility of surviving nuclear war. None.
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”
“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

Stumbled across a thread complaining about a thing in a recent comic, continuing at length about how terrible it is and how awful the creators are by implication. Eventually, in replies, poster casually mentions in passing that they haven’t actually read the comic

I don’t understand those videos where people film themselves watching other videos and laughing, or trying not to laugh. Apparently people get something out of that, because they seem to be very popular, but it’s fucking mystifying to me

At least once a day the social media demon whispers in my ear that I should be posting about all the terrible things happening in the world, that I’m squandering my platform and complicit in my silence if I don’t. And then I remember I have less than 500 followers and no unique insight to offer
