I’m no expert, but that won’t stop me. Bouncing around feeds on politics, movies, and pro wrestling. Family man. Childish adult. Junior Gen X. Profile pic: young boy in a black and white Sesame Place photo, sitting on the lap of a haggard Big Bird.

First regular-schedule back-to-school morning went as well as it could. Credit to the wife for “accidentally” dropping the kid’s phone in the toilet this weekend, and to Junior for handling her withdrawal like a champ. Next hurdle: homework.

If “COVID” can be understood to refer specifically to the COVID 19 virus, we can also understand it as a catch all reference to peak pandemic and/or lockdown. Add it to the list of words with many uses. Smurf, fuck, COVID…

Darren Aronofsky, talking about the great influence Taking of Pelham 123 played on Caught Stealing, pronounces Pelham with a hard H. Movie hasn’t started yet and I kinda want my money back.

During peak COVID remote schooling, my kid would switch away from zoom classes like she were swiping through Reels. The disconnected unreality of it all had her in a years-long state of drift. Teachers were just online personalities alongside Mr Beast + SniperWolf. We’re all still drifting.

ICE and AI have become similar problems in many ways, haven’t they? Sustained public pushback and real regulation against the unchecked danger and disruption of both is the answer.

This new series seems to have reclaimed some of that lovecraftian horror element
KomproMatt (@d18matt.bsky.social) reply parent
Aliens is great. And it did give us Colonial Marines and the Alien Queen. But it is hands down the least philosophical of the lot. I think Cameron would have something to contribute to the Engineer lore.
KomproMatt (@d18matt.bsky.social)
Alien Earth is the most AlienS of the Alien series, with so many creature species and metaphorically alien post-humans. James Cameron, the OG harbinger of off-the-leash AI (Terminator) and post-humanism (Avatar) made the least existential, most basic bang-bang monster movie in the series, Aliens.

The biggest wrench to the Legion of Doom’s master plan to spark chaos and then declare martial law is the spectrum of ambivalence, complacency, and passivity that allows the majority of Americans to shrug this stuff off.

They have engineered the circumstances to spark exactly the sort of reactive violence that would allow them to tighten their grip even further. The only thing they didn’t count on was the ambivalent majority just kinda casually letting shit happen with minimal resistance.

Just finished listening to Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social and I am floored at how complete a picture it builds of US Evangelicalism. I’m grateful, too. Coming from inside that world, it’s been maddening to watch people be so dismissive of the danger. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

Ozzy was nowhere near as enigmatic as Bowie or Prince. The exact opposite in fact, with his reality show second act and overall silliness. But here I am surprising myself with the similarly lingering effect of his passing. \m/
