it's always this at the core. like yes sure tearing down unjust systems *sounds* great but if your energy is all for destruction without any plans or capacity to care for ppl in the aftermath it's helping nobody, just satisfying some urge to see stuff break

I keep thinking of these four shows that aired before the 2016 election and how combined they presaged so much that happened: 1) Scandal 2) Mr Robot 3) UnREAL 4) The Americans

last thing i'll say is take your immediate reaction to the news and log off. right now social media is a frenzy of "political violence is good actually" vs "political violence is bad actually" and approximately zero valuable insight will emerge from the tussle.

I still remember the stunned silence of my first times with the first* Lingua Ignota record. My bar for fearless, ruthless, sobering, harrowing music rests on the shoulders of Kristin Hayter. If the burden of trauma can become something resembling demonic, her work wielded the power of exorcism

Getting to Ire Works, my third TDEP album, crystallized the neural pathways opened up by LD50 many years earlier: music with fluidity to be anything and everything from one moment to the next. Conventions: useful vehicles for creativity, but with the right conviction they can be dismissed entirely

Third was the last Portishead I got to, I was 25, and I didn't get it at first. When I went back later, everything changed. The dissonant, bizarre production will inspire me forever, and Beth Gibbons articulated the despair of depression in way I'd never related to before, and haven't since

El-P, I found at 23, after hearing RTJ and hearing that Trent Reznor featured on it. The psychedelic, progressive version of hip hop production; the explicitly leftist perspective of western dystopia, and the honest expression of how staring too deep into it can tead you apart; all were revelations

At ~16 years old, hearing the worlds inside of The Downward Spiral changed the way I engaged with music, in ways that are still true today. Any record I fixated on before this (there were many) are funny nostalgic stories to me now, their impact erased by the crater this band would leave in my life

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society. That's it. That's the post.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

So many decades of casually branding and dehumanizing "criminals" led us here--you can be as enthusiastic about inhumane sadism as you want as long as you qualify that the recipient is a "horrible criminal", and a *lot* of people will agree with you.

I honestly can't tell now but I swore while I was watching it that the camera was zooming in a tiny bit each time the ceiling fan breaks up the shot, and it was like an amplifier for the already palpable heebiejeebies in the scene

The good parts of social media (sharing experiences, art, information about local happenings, keeping up with relocated friends/family, organizing events) are still dominated by Meta, who dangle those tools as a lure so they can hook you on toxic rage bait and harvest your data, and it fuckin sucks

The "broadcast to the world whatever dumb thought is on your mind" is the *bad* part of social media, and this format kinda zeroes in on that as its main thing over the useful parts. 'Discourse' is much better suited to smaller groups of people who actually know each other (in my experience)

I've been pretty inactive here I realize, and here's the thing: Twitter was a hellhole of brain poison waaaaaaay before it got formally adopted by fascists. A global, semi-anonymous town square is a terrible idea! Town squares should be town-sized, at most!

Fox News in the airport is headlining that “trans radical attacks tesla dealership” and I think they mean this as a pejorative but all I can think is “hell yeah”, which is the correct take.

What I miss most in my experience of "adulthood" is simply hanging out with your friends without the clock ticking down to when everybody has to go home to their pets and responsibilities. "Gotta catch the last bus, it was good to see you!" ad infinitum

Tonight at @grandillusioncinema.org: THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE (Magnus von Horn, 2024) This was the most unsettling movie with "The Girl with the ___" as a title that l've ever seen! feels like von Horn watched The White Ribbon and was like, "that was good but a bit light on the human suffering"
