i mean it IS intellectual aptitude, it's just measuring whether you're good at identifying patterns rather than whatever it's supposed to be testing

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

i haven't watched it and probably won't, but i get the impression that it's well loved by people who already like low-stakes modern romances, and unlikely to convert anyone who doesn't

my brave and controversial stand on The Gay Hockey Show is that you don't have to make liking OR disliking it into a moral issue. it's a fucking tv show.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start. Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

that characters need to be likeable or relatable. fastest way to create a world populated by bland paper cut-outs. characters need to be INTERESTING, and that can coincide with likeability but it's not the same thing

if you're not interested in spending time in the world you're writing why on earth would anyone be interested in reading about it?

i do think that one of the fundamental errors a lot of people outside of fandom make is the assumption that 'i participate in fandom for [thing]' in any way shape or form correlates to 'i think [thing] is objectively good'

Spoon @glorious-spoon.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

anyway i think most of the stupid generalizations about fandom (from both inside of it and out) come from treating it like it's supposed to be activism or a stepping stone to a professional creative career, instead of what it is, namely a fucking hobby

Spoon @glorious-spoon.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

fandom is a social hobby that's no more righteous or depraved than fantasy football or multiplayer gaming. the fact that corporations are trying to crudely dangle the AI hook and some people bite is no more an indictment of fandom than it is of literally any other space where corporations do this

Spoon @glorious-spoon.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

fascinating take considering that this is not something that anyone in fandom demanded or requested but instead - yet again - AI slop desperately being pushed at the masses in hopes of finding a market

there is a lady who has been sitting at the computers just absolutely UNLOADING about some dude on the phone for the past hour and a half, and she's speaking so fast that i can't understand half the words. genuinely a little in awe. the STAMINA.

I just think if your definition of civility is about the volume and tone of speech and ignores the content of the speech you probably need to start over

the literary canon is the stuff that survives. it is not a representative sample of everything that was published in a given time period

like i'm sorry that you got fooled by the carefully curated literature selections you were exposed to in school, but a huge swath of published literature is shallow popcorn designed to appeal to the masses, and this is not new

Spoon @glorious-spoon.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

it's really bafflingly hilarious to see the nonstop pearl-clutching about how women reading trashy romantasy/erotica is going to bring about the end of literacy, as if james patterson hasn't been pumping out twenty wildly popular meciocre ghost-written thrillers per year for decades

ugh, i've had that happen before and it's so demoralizing

okay but genuinely who the fuck even WANTS another harry potter reboot? i know that this is the era of beating every single dead horse until money stops coming out of it but like. what is the appeal. even aside from the jkr of it all

Spoon @glorious-spoon.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

it's not the only bad thing about it, but this shit also completely ruins the culture of fandom by turning it into a side hustle. it's like being at a party where half of the guests want to use it as a chance to shill their multi-level marketing garbage
