am i the only one who thinks what’s happening at showings of the minecraft movie is actually really interesting and like…..kind of promising?

i really think the reason bluesky generally isn't funny is that there's this agreement not to say anything that doesn't push the envelope. sometimes you need to take a risk to be interesting. if a joke doesn't catch you off guard a little bit what are you laughing at?

being a flyers fan these days is like going to the wells fargo center just to yell at the ice “it doesn’t matter who wins as long as you’re all having fun!”

There's a chunk of contemporary media criticism that does read like "to avoid fascism, we should return to the mass media systems of the 20th C, which famously avoided fascism except between the years 1922-1975".

hiii does anyone in fan studies have any resources for looking at participant observation with an online space as the fieldsite, such as tumblr or a fan forum? i've read work with some broader points but could do with reading some specialization!
