The first season of ‘The Bear’ is flawed, but sincere, and ultimately good. The second season has that ironic distance that residents of the anglosphere apparently require in their media, but which, to me, makes it unsufferable to watch.

When you think about it, the aesthetic of Bloodborne really boils down to “steampunk dark academia”

Somehow these streaming services have convinced us we need AI “curated” playlists. Cretins the lot of them! For centuries our forebears got by with playlists made by humans, and were much richer for it.

Why does self-taught snd amateur art always look kind of similar no matter the time period and locality?
Someone building a wooden dog statue in 2025 will end up doing the same thing as someone from 400 BC. Why is this???

The great thing about Steven Pinker is that he’s mostly wrong and when once in a while he turns out to be right it’s the most pedestrian insight imaginable

hate it when a novel is “philosophical”
it’s always some half-baked nonsense
even Dostoyevsky’s “wisdom” is just the grievances of an extremely petty guy who was wrong about 90% of the things he had an opinion on

We all love to have a go at George Lucas’ way of naming characters but if we‘re being honest Gríma Wormtongue is just as goofy of a name as Jar Jar Binks

the real thing issue is that we have some groups of young men *claiming* to be driven right because of problems like male isolation when the right is not actually offering material solutions to those problems. what the right is offering is social and political power over women.

Can a country really just decide what it’s called in other languages? If I wanna come up with a new name for, say, Korea, how would they stop me?

No influencer will ever be cool. An influencer is a nerd who spends most of their day looking at their phone or rotting in front of a pc. how is this not commonly accepted?

Reading up on the massive modularity thesis lately and it really needs to be said that “the function of a thing is what is was designed to do, not what it does” is absolute nonsense

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

When Bill Clinton, major donors, and virtually every institutional player line up behind one candidate while attacking another as “too radical,” that IS the Democratic Party establishment trying to clobber someone. The fact that voters rejected that effort doesn’t retroactively mean it didn’t happen
