Are people who don’t listen to modern pop country better than people who do listen to modern pop country? Yes, obviously.

But what's the Jeff equivalent of bailing on your business partner to go to clown college and sticking them with a 50k loan? Probably involves crypto or kalshi.

"i don't watch vertical video" is the aging millennial answer to "i dont even own a tv" insofar as it's both probably insufferable to be around and much better for your brain

None of these people realize that the point of college is not (just) to learn the subject matter being taught in the individual course, it's to learn how to think and to learn in general.

Thinking of Dolly and wondering how classic country music is one of the most amazingly beautiful American arts ever while current Nashville pop country is the most execrable, vile, “could be replaced by AI and nothing of value would be lost” dogshit ever shat out of humanity’s collective mouth hole.

Let me get this straight. Sometimes a famous person dies and everyone is nice about it? Merely because of their deeds during life?

My sole complaint regarding the Northman is that if you’re going to make a big naked sword fight on a volcano the climax of your movie, have the courage to hang dong. None of this artful shadows shit.

Possibly true for the median level of american chinese, but not for the actually good restaurants that served it. But the genre as a whole has been absolutely devastated and replaced by mediocre Thai.

I don't know why everyone is in such a frenzy to see The Odyssey in 70mm. That's only like seven centimeters big. I'd rather see it on a movie screen thank you very much.

Sorry, it's actually: 1. Entirely mediocre 2. Also mediocre, except for every scene with Heath Ledger in it, and 3. Absolute trainwreck, but the more entertaining for it.

I do feel like it's spectacular meta-commentary on the film Odyssey that I don't much feel like talking about the flaws in Wilson's essay because I mostly like it and so many of the internet's dumbest/worst people are making very stupid critiques of it.

"this reads like Stephen King reacting to the Shining" is both too complimentary to Nolan and too mean to Wilson, but does accurately capture the vibe.
