actually fucks me up knowing that the hwang donghyuk the creator of squid game lost teeth due to stress while filming s1, did not want to make a s2, and only did it bc he got severely underpaid and earned zero residuals, royalties, or bonuses from netflix for s1.

Anyway the fact it was an underpaid food service worker that turned in the alleged CEO shooter for the reward money says A Whole Lot about America in itself. Billionaires make more than $50k just scratching their behinds but it's life-changing to someone who works at mcdonalds so they sold him out.

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore
![Engels on 'Social Murder'
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder.
But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ...
Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfcht3gt62twn3r32e7bziq4/bafkreifeiogd6watrjgxqrzfsfrujyv4765jeh4why7my2rl76nbnqr5xu@jpeg)

if you are at all curious as to why the entirety of south korea just said "lol fuck no" to the president declaring martial law this book may be a good place to start- the horrors of gwangju are still very much swimming in the memories of south koreans
Human Acts - Han Kang
devoured this in just a couple sittings. easily my favorite read of the year. kang perfectly captures the lingering scars of the gwangju uprising, and how the wound of one person can splinter and web, both entangled and connecting those left in its wake

really glad i gave dandadan a second shot, the show's been a ton of fun. the first alien scene turned me away years ago, but thankfully it hasn't done anything like that again. momo's up there with maka albarn in my favorite shounen female leads, and I love seeing her and okarun being giant doofuses
