There's a lot of good folk stuff on socials, this particular singer from Georgia (country) is one of the best. www.instagram.com/reel/DdwUNu5...

There might be something about youth sports in the US that should be preserved, but I can't think of anything at the moment.

Note that white male characters in Hollywood narratives have been nurturing the next generation of female & minority leadership ... for SEVERAL generations now.

How much of what people are saying to justify their Hank Green AI takes could also be said of social media?

Daniel Craig made one (1) decent spy thriller as this character. The movie was good for generic reasons, not IP reasons. There is no reason to believe even a "really different" Bond is going to be or do anything good.

There's addiction, and then there's Hollywood's relationship to white men.

There should be a better shorthand way of calling out an utterance as worthless, engagement-seeking behavior - something with more juice than "rage bait" or "feeding the trolls."

I remember getting into a disagreement with a professor who was against using 'you' by itself for plural direct address. I feel like social media is pushing things in my direction, but with age comes a deeper understanding. Also death.

Miller in public seems to have embraced a certain archetype. You don't look at him in interviews and think, "he thinks he's one of the good ones." You think something else, when you see him. You also think he's been taking measures behind the scenes to secure his position. Measures.

It's probably the case that all times and places push you toward the "am I right about this current thing or what" style of humor, but I do worry instagram etc. have made it almost obligatory. If you wanna be said, imagine a favorite brilliant author of the past having to post 3x/week to sell books.

Can't think of a book that "changed me" at the moment, but gets me a bit melancholy that the HP books get zero play in this thread yet probably did this work for a lot of people. And I get it. Among her sins is igniting and then punishing an enthusiasm for books and reading for a generation.

Misread this sentence, now I'm a bit enamored by the possibility of "took" as a neologism. "My took was that birds aren't dinosaurs. But I've grown, and my opinion has changed."
