One day, I might talk more about how constantly being yelled at for having opinions about popular culture wore me down to the point of no longer feeling able to write about things I love.

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

They’re starting to restrict the use of plug-in heaters in the office. Can’t wait for the performative always cold people to react!

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.

It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

I finished reading Daniel de Visé's book about The Blues Brothers last night (worth it if you're a classic SNL/Belushi/Aykroyd/70s-80s comedy nut) so today shall be soundtracked by a lot of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway et al.
