Who's the Real Villain in Frankenstein? Who is the Funniest Character in Tess of the D'urbervilles? How much could Ahab benchpress? Could Ford Maddox Ford have reached more people with a podcast? Why does Mr Darcy emit so much aura? Could Julia from 1984 be considered Brat? Could Don Quixote eat San

One of the things that confounds me about the UK is that no one seems to think that calling aristocrats by their made up titles is insane. The Earl of Essex? Piss off, Paul. Why not ignore this ludicrous anti-democratic bollocks and call these cunts by their real names?

This was inspired by the movie 'Babylon' [2022], which is of course a self-congratulatory wankfest of epic proportions, but it applies to a great many other entries in this repugnant genre

You know what's overrated? Woodfired pizza. If I really wanted something that is horribly burnt in some places and a disgusting sloppy mess in others, I would go to any public space in England on a day warmer than 25 degrees.

Having said all that, I love audio for narrative non-fiction and essays which aim to convince me of an argument or point of view.
H. Anthony Hildebrand (@hahildebrand.bsky.social) reply parent
And I’m not sure these effects are replicable in audio form. Not entirely, anyway. Audio has a whole bunch of other specialist advantages that text can’t provide, but I think my brain is wired to take more from writing as it appears on the page than when it’s read to me.
H. Anthony Hildebrand (@hahildebrand.bsky.social)
Listening to an audiobook is reading, absolutely. But for me it’s a very different experience than reading text. The words on a page, the line breaks, the length of paragraphs, the way words sit next to each other – these all have a powerful impact on the way I process writing.

This is undoubtedly an unoriginal observation, but we are living through a Futurist age. More than a century after Marinetti and his pals declared their love of the machine and their hatred for soft, weak nostalgia, their influence is everywhere, across all of modern life. (Thread incoming)
