Saw Thief (Mann, 1981) a little while ago at the cinema with the gf. Much to be said, but suffice to say that it's a great film, incredible feature debut, stunning cinematography, soundtrack, cast. Related to Frank very intensely in a way that I'm completely unwilling to elaborate on.

Quick fixes and clever workarounds can seem charming and maybe even endearing unless you've spent your entire life with that as the upper bound for any and all household maintenance.

Still stuck on this btw. Completely Buried in Seconds sounds like the name of an absolutely brutal skramz band (read: four or five pencil-necked geeks making music that turns mosh pits into blenders)

Said it a while ago, but if you want a picture of the US in a couple of years, either watch or read Hard to Be a God. Take a long, hard look at the kind of society we might have gotten if the renaissance got squashed, and realise that every last fuck in office wishes it had gone down like that.

Put on some nice clothes but then looked out the window and immediately felt like a man of slovenly appearance.
A male mandarin duck who gets off purely on being mean who saw that I had put on the one nice outfit I own for one of the most important evenings of my life and decided to sartorially annihilate me, even though, due to having no friends, it had planned to do nothing all evening but hang out on this shit rusty metal railing staring at its own reflection in a window. Incidentally, later this would become the cover shot for my unsuccessful rustic synth-based confessional 1983 solo LP 'Mandarin Duck Outside My Window'.

Rereading this article, I wonder how much culture fades because someone later does it "better." Think of Star Wars overwhelming almost all of its influences (except Dune). I just listened to some McKuen, and then some Bruce Springsteen. Bruce just wipes him out. So do a lot of melancholy rockers.

Move to a PDS that isn't owned by bsky whenever you can - you can migrate your data without losing followers, too. You cannot trust this platform to keep its word, but at least the data you create can still be yours. The BEST they can do is hide that PDS from bsky, which doesn't matter -

We spend enormous amounts of time asking women how to protect themselves. I’d like us to spend considerably more time asking men how we create a culture in which women don’t have to.

A lot of normal men already do this and then dickheads make friends with other dickheads where they can continue to be sexist cunts. Top down maybe the US president shouldn't be a rapist pedophile. Maybe there should be actual consequences for abusing women.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

The Yuddite/rationalist primary defense mechanism is spurting out a big ink-cloud of thesaurus and number-laden complete nonsense, and then demanding that you waste your time "debating" them over it. The good news is that this trick is easily defeated by simply refusing to play the Debate Me game.

the cornell case has me thinking about how existing as a woman means knowing you could be the victim of sexual violence at any moment, all while knowing there's a high likelihood no one will believe it even happened if you come forward.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

This is why I hate people reducing the upswing of fascism and bigotry to 'da culture wars'. Hegseth used transphobic slurs in public, he didn't 'give a culture war speech', that's just transphobia. It says a lot about where we're at that a public official can get away with this.
