proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s very stupid, but worth noting that the rebranding as “Super Intelligence” fits the rationalist bs narrative. One of the major works for that set is literally titled “Superintelligence” 000
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026People on Bsky will really be like, “You believe in building a solidarity movement? That pales in effectiveness to my strategy, attacking my own coalition to win over conservative swing voters” and then not win over any conservative swing voters 011
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Attempts to accommodate the anti-woke right are doomed to failure, because nearly every complaint falls into one of five categories, none of which can be solved by any change of policy or tactic. They mainly fall into five categories. (this will be a long thread) 110

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Might be an interesting comparison between Barton Fink and Hail Caesar w/r/t how the Coen Brothers think of Hollywood 100
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Friday night!!! Who else has been drinking absinthe at home, reading poetry aloud to their dog, and has convinced themselves that they have to rewatch Barton Fink?! 000

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The point of articles like this is to convince people who agree with the author that everyone who supports these policies does so out of ignorance. It implies that their opponents are children who don’t understand how taxes work, not like us serious reasonable adults in the room. 020
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Ok, I don’t have the language to describe it, but is there a modern Scandinavian school of film? Just watched The Drama, and both in content and style I can see a lot of similarities with Ostlund, but also with Lars Von Trier and Joachim Trier? 000
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Watching “The Drama” and am I wrong in thinking the director is heavily influenced by Ruben Ostlund? 100
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Client: I have a property dispute. My neighbor says he’s suing me for violating bird law. Attorney: Like in the tv show? Delightful.

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 26/07/2026If you’re in San Diego, the University Heights Library has a massive weekend-long book sale for the district every month, and on Sunday you can fill a tote bag for $5. Didn’t fill the bag this time cuz I don’t have space at home! friendsofsdpl.org/monthly-book... 210
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Finally watching Heroes. On season 2. I’d always heard everything after the first season is bad (and it is), but I’m glad that it’s stupid bad, and not joyless and plodding bad. 000

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Recently watched “The Return” (2024) and I’ve never seen a movie less interested in its source material. It would be better if the director had hated The Odyssey, because then he would have had to actually engage with it beyond set dressing. 010
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 26/06/2026So nearly all of Forrest Gump is a story he’s telling to people at the bus stop. Yeah, man, Elvis totally stole his dance moves from you. And you’re responsible for the Watergate burglars getting caught? Do I wanna hear about you giving Lennon the lyrics to “Imagine?” No. No, I don’t. 010
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Actually analyzing the Third Way-type concern-trolling about DSA victories hurting Dems in purple seats shows how nonsense it is. (1/2) 100
proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The faultline for the schism we're going to see within the democratic party isn't between the left and the center. It will be between the parts of the establishment that are willing to work in coalition with the left, and the parts that refuse to do so. 000

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Twitter’s culture has a massive kayfabe around debate. The posters are performing inquiry for an audience, but are themselves completely dead set on their views. One consequence of this is that they have the same debates over and over again. Pro-and anti-crypto posters both performing for fans (1/x) 100

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Based on context, these messages are almost certainly Tom Steyer (numbering on the iMessage pages are only consistent within each page).

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 15/01/2026One of the best things about being a short dude is that when I tell another guy my height, there’s a good chance he’ll say, “Are you sure, cuz I’m 5’11” and I’m not that much taller than you.” For a moment, I have the ability to destroy him, but I always choose mercy and just change the subject. 180
