watching the sound of music and realized this film only came out 20 years on from the end of the war. imagine someone releasing a musical about the iraq war today

the fact that i can search both wired & the verge for the words "skibidi" or "gyatt" and get exactly ZERO results is such a bummer. all the 23yos trying to parse What It All Means are on TikTok, & it feels like nobody in media cares enough to solicit writing from them (if i'm wrong i want to know)

digging around for interesting gen alpha internet culture criticism, and it is shocking how little i'm finding. everything is a one-off explainer with little to no interest in the social forces creating some of the most unsettling, existential, cringe shit god's green internet has ever seen

somewhere between A24 and Blumhouse, every Hollywood composer decided their themes must include a clock ticking in order to convey urgency

this creates the idea that everyone with a dietary restriction is superficial and shouldn't be taken seriously. people clown on gluten-free options because a legitimate intolerance has been weaponized by diet culture then there's also just people thinking peanut allergies are fake

imo dietary restrictions are mocked thanks to three deeply intertwined prejudices: ableism, of course, but also fatphobia and misogyny. diet culture promotes cutting food groups to stay thin, and the people we sneer at for participating in diet culture are predominantly women (1/2)

noodling around on ebay for vintage wall hangings and this photo of a mass-produced "witch's hand statue" feels like an alien's final project for a marketing 101 class

a stock photo of a white woman smiling and reading an e-reader on a beige couch. a larger-than-life metallic "witch's hand" statue is photoshopped ("mounted") onto the wall to her left; it has a set of photoshopped-on-photoshopped car keys hanging off the curled pinky finger

i’ve got some bad news for pundits scolding college students: even if you were somehow successful in imposing your views on them, they will be fully replenished within 4 years by a whole new crop of kids who don’t yet possess a political consciousness. you are yelling at a river.
