Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
The best art is made for the self. It’s the very act of making art that itself is the gift to the world.
A little mixed on Pluribus but the episode four bit with Carol watching herself on Sodium thiopental is a goddamn delight and also an excellent performance.

I vow that I am done with dunking on Olivia Nuzzi
After hearing "Jailbait" and doing the math on the Keith Olbermann story, I have come to two conclusions:
1) This woman is a victim of a LOT of abuse and never stood a chance
2) She should leave public life immediately, for her own sake
That's it

We are so terrified of how much huge swaths of America seem MAGA brainwashed that we forget that money has to be constantly poured into the fear and paranoia machine because the second someone is exposed to genuine charity or cheerfulness more often than not it evaporates.
Someone with terminal Fox News brain fuming about imaginary communists and then doing a 180 the second they meet someone in real life is honestly the perfect encapsulation of the last ten years of American politics

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

As with so much of everything having to do with Trump, this clarification is simultaneously alarming and hilarious.
Finding this funny is probably cope, but what, I should just find the slapsticky flailing and spin around the president's obviously fragile and panicky moods NOT funny?

While the overall Trump outrage-repression bias of our news orgs is quite blatant, if I was running a news org and saw the president calling for the execution of his opponents, I would find myself morally positioned to not bring attention to it.

This is a very valuable anchor to me, the dumbass with high-brow brain but low-brow tastes. I need joy in my cinema, I love any movie where I can see the shit-eating delight behind whatever’s happening on screen.
my goodness but film critics do complicate their lives. does the movie kick ass or does it not? that’s the only important question and rarely does anyone address it to my satisfaction

To be fair pop culture was still chock full of marketed teenage sexuality pre metoo and Epstein but this is still a remarkably and ironically weird artifact.

There's a lot of Doomerism on here about this ("LOL the Epstein files will NEVER come out LOL") but as I argued yesterday, this dynamic can only keep sinking Trump and the GOP as long as the cover-up continues:

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
