There's something spiteful and contemptuous about the way Netflix refuses to give a halfway decent theatrical release to creatively ambitious films by brand-name directors. Like they're trying to make sure we all know that they hate doing it.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

snowy owl resting on a rocky lakeside
a digital painting of a snowy owl on a rocky terrain. the snowy owl has it's eyes facing 3/4" to the right so we can see their golden eyes. the back feathers are elongated above the rockside. the lake behind the bird is a light smoky teal with light sparkles shimmering across it.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I love stuff like @flaminghydra.com but I gotta be honest with you all: as an old alt-weekly alum I think the culture/essay type stuff is so much better and lands so much harder when it’s grounded in a geographic community

when it’s FOR a place that it loves

I miss the alts so bad
