This is a really good thread about fandom, art, culture, engagement and escapism in our current context. It reminds me that I should get back to reading Marx's new book "Blank Space" that explores why, in the West at least, culture has stagnated and gone into a cycle of remakes with no innovation.

We are in another golden age of film and it’s like nobody really acknowledges it. With good reason, I suppose. A lot going on. But this might be the final human-centric era of cinema. Get it while you can.

I earnestly believe that this along with the legendary "in this moment I feel euphoric" reddit were a devastating 1-2 punch to atheism that it never really recovered from.
it wasn't the defining event but this sure was a landmark

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

Ultimately by attempting to AI-proof the classroom one just centers it anyway, making it the main character. All we end up doing is wasting our time and perverting solid pedagogical practices. bsky.app/profile/sonj...
“AI” is not simply creating a cognitive crisis in learners; it’s also failing to deliver on its own terms (pedagogical “efficiency”) bc it demands that those still committed to educational quality devise nonsensical workarounds, turning our classrooms into bizarre Rube Goldberg learning machines.
Keep shoving this unwanted AI shit on teachers and we’ll go back to fucking quills and inkwells

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.
