Now you've got an actual phenomenon of kids massacring everyone around them in explosions of all-consuming violence and you always get people trying to make it into a Carrie story, but the killers don't really look like Carrie do they, what do you do about that adapting the Carrie in 2026

ferraille.bsky.social @ferraille.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

It's less about documenting something that actually happened than giving form to an anxiety of public humiliation. Carrie is compelling because most people have felt like Carrie at some point even if the worst thing that ever actually happened to them was one time the barista got their order wrong

but it's not some cathartic retribution, the reality is an infinite swarm of giggling Beavises who realized that being a mass murderer is basically the same as being a rockstar but more attainable and nobody with the power to really cares to stop them. Judgement rarely pleases the judged

It's a shame because you could write an absolutely amazing Carrie adaptation around this idea now. Carrie was written in the 70s when that was still just an adolescent power fantasy of the powerless delivering righteous, Godlike judgement on their tormentors. Now we get a Carrie every week

IIRC the Columbine kids for one absolutely were not planning to stop they just hit a wall when it turned out propane tanks don't work like the big red barrels in videogames

and one where you just do the thing and spend a week panicking that you've finally crossed the line and your crimes are finally goingto catch up with you and then nothing happens

I wonder sometimes if we're looking at two competing theories of governance at work in Washington: one where you tease the idea of doing something so depraved our whole concept of civilization is founded in opposition to it then see what the polls say

Ahti's cool I think the basic observation here is if an alien wants people not to notice the holes in its human impersonation pretending to just be Finnish is a classic and effective cover story

It's not an X-Man origin story the fire happened because she wanted it to happen, and she kept going until she ran out of targets. That's the story, she's a magical school shooter

How dare you accuse me of bad faith you piece of shit, you're just making up the worst possible interpretation of whatever would suit you for my motivations to be

So, anything I do to you is cool provided I didn't sign a notarized statement declaring I intended for it to be a crime, right?

ferraille.bsky.social @ferraille.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Oh well, so long as there's any possible question as to what's going on in their secret heart of hearts that's alright then.

OK but the tech doesn't work without trillions of dollars and ripping off everybody who has ever made anything for a living. I could probably make a pretty kickass Tamagotchi if you gave me the GDP of America and let me vivisect every dog but that isn't a praiseworthy accomplishment for what it took

After a two-term realignment there's no reason to disavow him, he's not a monster or a visionary because that would imply that things were ever not thus. The guys who worked for him seamlessly pivoted to working for Trump or dispensing savvy political wisdom to liberals in the Atlantic

I can't forget how evil and freakish the Bush administration was perceived to be at the time... until he left office, and the dem supermajority declined to treat them like criminals and largely picked up where he left off, and his way of doing things gradually became the new normal

It'll gas you up all day about what a genius you are so people who wish they were creative spend all day making one nonworking "invention" after another, those who want to be clever spend all day "debating" it; if their stuff isn't warmly received irl, well, those guys must be jelly

Yeah well nobody knows what I'm talking about when I yell "play Freebird" at a show now, so

Sure and Walmart should've charged what things cost instead of undercutting their competitors until they closed shop and then jacking prices up, but that's not the business model, is it?

This might be how things work out if an opposition partt presents a clear contrasting political vision and manages to decouple themselves from the failure of the federal government in general, but ope nevermind there the big one goes trying to make capital and trans-bashing their brand again

Get the feeling putting these guys in a dorm situation is going to trigger a latent frat hazing impulse that leaves maybe the worst ⅓ alive

Fair enough, I don't respect the implication he has one

I think "where did legislators get that idea from and why is it the one they glommed onto" would be a much more worthwhile article than "here's what I saw on Twitter yesterday and here's what I think it says about Society"

Sure, would you first care to demonstrate that whatever you're reacting to on your own algorithmic feed is a "widespread" phenomenon in objective reality and not above all a reflection of your own browsing habits as seen through the lens of some libertarian tech chud

Oh yeah it's up to you to draw the conclusions he can only lay out the evidence

Artificial monsters bred for war, presumably. Why Tolkein and not a hundred other authors who've broached the idea? Couldn't say how much of the pointless literature with no dolphin fucking he's reviewed

Making something and consuming it are different things, commissioning a third. I get the impetus for imagining otherwise but at no point were most people who read novels remotely willing to write their own

Having seen that subreddit they're basically always looking for the novelization of a movie or franchise they liked. Which is absolutely a thing, prevalent for decades in SF/F

Which significant politicians of the last decade haven't scored points by running against their own record? Everyone who gives a shit has a whole suite of cliches ready to go for why it's good actually. But he's learned and grown and even rhetorically supporting change is beyond a democrat of 2026

I guess the threat of putting me in some company's ads is the basis of an ok protection racket but isn't reputational damage to a brand one of those things you can still get sued over

Maybe if you're trying to get a job in, like, 1950, but professional standards change. Though I did manage to get offers from a couple places by sneaking my iced coffee in a big flask labeled "Teenage DNA"
