I actually sense the long and silly reframing of 'elites' as anyone with a social conscience has been largely successful and there is little evident hypocrisy in portraying yourself as pro-battler while hobnobbing with the country's richest provided they too are sufficently racist/evil.

WELP I WAS ANNOYED AND HAD THE TIME: “When men say she should be grateful for the attention, they’re saying a woman’s scholarship only gains true meaning when a famous man shines a light on it.” news.chanda.science/archive/an-o...

Most efficient way to start a feud, really.

We need MORE literary feuds (otherwise known as a healthy culture of film and book criticism), not fewer.

As usual, the internet has reduced a wonderfully rich, 4000 word critique of something into 'Person trashes The Odyssey'. I highly recommend reading Wilson's essay. It's an incredible dive into the art of adaptation and it asks some really valuable questions about how to approach storytelling.

So "non fic author uses GenAI, doesn't check results, claims it's human authored, wastes huge amounts of editorial time and his own, still thinks GenAI is a useful tool" and we're supposed to be worrying about whether *consumers* are losing their judgement?!

X-Men ‘97 continues to be relentlessly dramatic, eventful, emotionally charged, and fucking bonkers. And THANK GOD FOR THAT. Finally, a proper mutant soap opera.

More, please.

Girl, the main reason I bought my PS5 was to use it as a blu ray media centre that also occasionally runs games that I can trade in to buy new games.

Already an A+ memoirist.

If you want to be a MAN, you have to grow, dry, spin and weave the hemp yourself!

Cliff over here doesn’t even know how to mend his polyester camo pants.

Happy book birthday to this anthology! @ellatholmes.bsky.social has done it again! Where Artifice & Access was a love letter to disabled people, Why Aren't You Dead Yet? is a hate letter to the systems that want disabled people to disappear.

The world needs slapstick!

This trailer made me chuckle thrice.
