The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Anyway here is my review of Alan Moore’s last two projects. I enjoyed them a lot and think he is a remarkable talent, one of those people you’re grateful is alive and making new work about the world you live in. He has a new fantasy novel out in May, I’m excited for it.

knowing nothing about it, when we started pluribus i thought "oh this is a pandemic show" and by the end of the second episode i thought "oh this is a PANDEMIC show"
Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world
For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

also the movie's largest plot deviation from the novel is about how how war capital funds new technology that will disempower death and save the lives of funders, definitely no commentary on the present moment
i think FRANKENSTEIN (2025) is 30 minutes too long and a little too indulgent but a) del toro's basically been making frankenstein over and over again throughout his career so it's fine for him to have some fun with it and b) oscar isaac's choice to play victor as a wheedling nepo baby is very funny

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.
So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate
