Imo the way to come to terms with the fact that you will die and be forgotten, and that that is not only fine but actually good, is to do what I did: read Middlemarch while you're unemployed.

fish are friends
Stop using anti-fish language
Instead of: this seems fishy
Try saying:
this seems like a situation in which we should consult the wisdom and grace of the European seabass, a species with which i would entrust my entire life and personal safety

I'll say this for the "Choosin' Texas" article, I am VERY GOOD at not doing the "we're all gonna be mad about the same article" thing but the chatter around it drew me in, so, point scored. anyhow, I, too, am choosing Texas, specifically Houston's own Rusted Shut www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfBM...

"The president has a tenuous grasp on reality and can't survive without his blonde assistant Natalie who takes care of all his life tasks for him" would be a lot cooler if it was happening because Adrian Monk was president.

Thinking very strongly about the phrase "a sort of Soviet Texas"
The excesses of the Soviet military-industrial complex in the 1970s were as much the consequence of internal policy as they were of external threat. The complex was "something like a bull in a china shop" according to a former Soviet defense official named Vitaliy Katayev--"a sort of Soviet Texas."

I enjoyed Rose of Nevada and am granting it a place in the annex wing of the Spooky Coastal Town archive, but now I can only think of Callum Turner as the guy from the Sex Purge (which I did not see).

Understand some of the reservations about Camp Miasma but also don't care. The pitch "Gillian Anderson as final girl of a slasher franchise" is enough on its own to make me fork over my (meager) life savings to a filmmaker.

I know a lot of the bands from the era were explicitly apolitical, but has there every been a book or PhD dissertation or whatever about how The Troubles produced some of the greatest English language pop music ever.

I hovered over a Sophie Cunningham-related post on Instagram for probably half a second two weeks ago, and now 90% of my suggested posts are about her. (I barely even follow sports on there, mostly just people I actually know in person.)
