So that critique is really an unfair jab at 'pulpy' genres, but pulp genres regularly produce surprising great art precisely because they're open to experimentation. That said, I think there is a real divide here between what we might call 'expressive art' and 'functional art.'

I, uh, I can't help but notice you left out the slaver's rebellion or the Nazis on the list of people to go fight. Funny, that.

It will never cease to amaze me how there are still, to this very day, folks on the ‘western left’ who will read about horrors such as these and continue to believe that Russia isn’t engaging in a genocidal war of aggression towards the Ukrainian people.

Britain doesn't change. I'm rereading Holmes. It's 1887 and the Daily Telegraph speculates that a murder must have been perpetrated by refugees or socialists, and advocates a closer watch over foreigners, while the Standard blames such outrages on a liberal government.

It's funny how AI tech bros are all like "soon AI will be able to perform all human labor" and the next sentence is never something like "and that's why we can easily move to a 32 hour work week now."

And which is more serious: 1) A silly campus protest 2) Someone said a mean thing Leftishly 3) Armed agents of the state murdering people 4) A political party using the state to silence dissent. (3) and (4) are very obviously a much bigger deal than (1) or (2), not that you can tell from the NYT.

I fear we might see a new alignment between a radical right death cult and a rural revivalist "simplicity" drive, which views collapse and a return to "organic" communities as a solution to decadent urbanism. A century ago this convergence led to a very bad place. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

The biggest cost Trump is imposing on us is the cost of doing nothing about three worsening crises that threaten the very survival of America and the world: climate change, AI, and widening inequality.
