One of the things I most value about my childhood, pre-smartphone but with a family desktop, was how the internet was a place. It was a room in your house. It didn’t follow you outside of that.

Interesting to me that there is such nostalgia for a decade past, you would never have seen anyone in the 2010s acting like this about the 2000s

More and more people say things like “abolishment” instead of “abolition,” “the socializing of” instead of “the socialization of…” the effects of illiteracy are already thoroughly visible, I can barely imagine the adulthood of the children born today

Maybe I'm built different but even when I see someone saying this about an album I like it makes me happy to hear someone else's perspective... where did this combativeness about taste come from?
not into this, kind of just moody and quietly epic in ways that are incomplete and self-consciously stylish (and in ways that feel badly dated to the 2010s). bits of it remind me of the samples in burial’s tracks, though i mostly thought it was like the halo ost but worse lol

Ok, the difference is that this was not nostalgia - this was people who were “a little too late” to experience MySpace. MySpace even relaunched in 2013/14 to capitalize on it! I remember because I was one of these kids - we were w continuation, not a revival - our older friends

if you’re going to call something a “strike” you think you’d be organized enough to at least have a list of demands, some conditions to the end of the strike. but it’s just a parade!

Going to start a movie from every country thread. Starting with Côte d’Ivoire, we have the movie Moi, un Noir (1958) dir. Jean Rouch about three Nigérienne day laborers in Abidjan. It was one of the first movies made with a hand-held camera.

This album cover plus the title is one of the most powerful pieces of art of the 20th century. The original piece is “End of the Trail.” Retitling that as “Surf’s Up” is a piece of brilliance almost incredible

everyone’s like oh we live in a dystopia oh the world is ending and like... no it’s not. that’s just them propagandizing you into giving up. it’s gonna be here in 1000 years in much the same condition. it’s so self centered to think you live at the end of history

They replaced alcohol and socialization with midwit deepisms like this
Gen Z’s aversion to sex & alcohol is not “puritanism.” It’s two things—a retreat away from real life into the internet, and a sixth sense that tells them that the free, hedonic times are coming to an end. Older generations are nearly incapable of sensing this

Stop calling everything fascism. Elon Musk contributing to the coups d’etat in Bolivia is not fascism. Through & through it is liberal (capitalist) democracy.

I am not opposed to the general notion. Shakespeare’s inventions like “lonely,” modern inventions like “deadass,” I love neologisms “. And I love shortenings, regional variations, like “yessum…” but my above examples are the inverse, the contraction of vocabulary, not expansion

This is where the “escape room” genre came from - grouping of artists that seemingly had no pre-existing genre ties, like Laurel halo and run the jewels, but kept aligning like they did in Spotify’s algo. So the machine made a genre for them.

Lorde is a boy for not wearing makeup. 2hollis is a girl for wearing makeup. Do you see how you people sound? What the hell is going on
Lorde talking about being at war in her body and L4 talking about masculinity/femininity and these pics make me feel like she’s definitely on some sort of gender expression journey, I’m intrigued

also why are people going to protests also so often people who don’t or rarely vote, sometimes as a badge of honor? wouldn’t it make more sense that a politician would listen to you if you actually had some effect on the electoral outcome? why else would they? idgi

“Going to the gym” is one of those insane things they try to rope you into when you get older. Run in place instead of in the world. Use the weight of a machine instead of your own body. Retarded.
