The great romance novels are centuries old at this point. The market has refined itself into commercially profitable total cultural irrelevance.

All stories are fundamentally trying to say something about us, about life - the meaningful ones in any case. But stories are meant to encourage questions, pondering, contemplation.
To distil all of it down to a self-help manual, or some form of packaged wisdom is reductive and often infantile (1)

I would just like to make it very clear to the Bluesky moderation team that this isn't funny to me. I would never make a joke about senator McConnell falling or imply that when he hit the ground a little poop came out in his pants and he had to walk out of the building with poop pants
Senator Mitch McConnell just suffered a fall in Washington.

"Humans are products to be bought, eaten alive, and discarded in an antisocial libidinal frenzy of self-loathing, insatiable emotional need, and if they refuse to behave that way, we'll make fake people" is the only thing any of these freaks believe
