Kartik!? @kiniperson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026this is the hypocrisy at the heart of so many "masculine" content creators: if according to these people masculinity means strength and confidence, why are they so afraid? Why do they fear (their definition of) femininity, queerness, and vulnerability? Not very (their definition of) masculine to me. 050

Reposted by Kartik!?Chuck Wendig @chuckwendig.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I enjoyed Nolan's ODYSSEY quite a bit, and found it more moving than expected. I also read Wilson's critique and found that both enjoyable and insightful. It's not even really a bad review -- it's an incisive dissection from the POV of someone whose knives have long been sharpened on the material. 1365957
