Yes, but provisionally — we need a dramatic transformation of our understanding of the role that higher education should play in our society. We’ve created little communities of the cognitive elite, with poor institutional incentives disconnected to the broader world. This must change.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

This is funny, though I don't think it quite qualifies as a meaningfully complete political analysis of the situation as it's actually playing out.

The core problem with structuring society around the beliefs of billionaires is that they are the kind of people who do not have to know their own address and think most people don't have any need in life to be able to give other people a precise location to come to or deliver something to.

I'm glad she's speaking out, but I hope she has to personally reckon with the fact that she voted for Trump to do this to other people and got her daughter murdered along with all the people she was fine suffering.

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.

This is a common lie from DHS press flacks. They claim that people who came through CBP One — who registered for an appointment through a government app, went to a port of entry, and were issued a grant of humanitarian parole by a CBP officer letting them enter — "entered illegally." Total nonsense.

This is why people hate Democrats. It's not any of the shit pundits mumble about, it's that when the time comes to fight, they fold, and ultimately give almost as much space to huge corporations to destroy us as the Republicans.

This is a really fun example of radicalized Right Wing men are LARPing as paramilitary warriors in order to gain social media clout and increase profit while also radicalizing viewers to become violent in a feedback loop that’s already led to violence and increases the likelihood of future violence.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

60 Minutes (@60Minutes) on X:

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

Not only is CAMP MIASMA a very different movie than I SAW THE TV GLOW, I would say it’s very nearly its exact inverse.

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

Software developers think "if AI automates coding, I will be able to spend less time on producing widgets, and more time on strategy and architecture." Bosses think "if AI automates coding, I can get my devs to produce 100x more widgets."

Agreed -- I just wish more of the cishet critic men could at least say: hey, this is not about me, I don't get it as a result. Totally fine! I have movies like that, too!

Yeah, we saw this come up with TV Glow when there were So Many Reviews approaching it *entirely* through the lens of it being about Stuff You Liked As A Kid Not Holding Up Anymore, even as they handwaved at it being about trans themes. It is now Worse lol.

Eric Sipple @ericsipple.com · 20/09/2026

Art is best when it is not for everyone. Sometimes it is at its absolute best when it is for an extremely small number of people, but is brilliantly successful at doing it. It's okay for a movie not to be for you. But, if you believe yourself to be a critic, you have to be able to identify that.

There is nothing wrong with disliking CAMP MIASMA as a cis white guy. There is something wrong about being unable to read its very clear and obvious intentions and punishing it for being what you have made up in your head.

Eric Sipple @ericsipple.com · 20/09/2026

Literally everyone in the world but white cis men have to learn how to empathize with people who are not them, and it's never clearer than when a film comes out about the complicated emotions that arise from being feminine and/or queer in our society.

Legit saw one highly followed guy, after a bad faith shredding of the film, say to go watch SLEEPAWAY CAMP instead. I'm gonna call this one out because if you're following him, I'd like you to know what a piece of shit he is. Not gonna link to the riview, though. letterboxd.com/silentdawn/

Nearly every mid-to-negative review of MIASMA by a cis guy is obtuse in ways you cannot imagine, fully missing the point while complaining that the movie states its themes to bluntly. Free from having to pretend to respect Schoenbren when their work had a clear trans allegory, they're going Wild.

Eric Sipple @ericsipple.com · 20/09/2026

I am fascinated by the degree to which cis men are proving themselves unable to even identify what CAMP MIASMA is about, let alone properly critique it. This is a real "that's the joke" kind of review -- it is *explicitly about* the experience of having all of those things overlapping!

Enjoyed this overall, but a bit more in theory than in practice. In part because I think it’s having 3 or 4 different comically meta but genuinely academic conversations with itself about the slasher genre at any given moment (its upsetting history of misogyny/transphobia, its uniquely visceral gateway to cathartically extreme depictions of taboo fears and desires, its “strange mating ritual” body count thrills + its capitalist commodification into a thoughtlessly nostalgic form of junk food) while also trying to be a similarly deeply personal allegory and excavation of trans/queer specific anxieties about identity and sexuality that I Saw the TV Glow was so effective at being.
