It fucks me up that a lot of the media that I consumed as a young adult and shaped me was made by creeps like Woody Allen. Not because it makes me feel impure, but because it makes me feel manipulated. It's upsetting to think about how I was able to look past things that are clearly wrong, due to identifying with pieces of work that were designed to hook me.

I'm listening to an episode of Unspooled about "Annie Hall" and realizing how similar "Eternal Sunshine" is, except somehow Jim Carrey's character, whose name I can't even remember, is somehow less charismatic than Alvie.

Reading articles about the jobs AI will and won't replace and HR and other managerial positions are always listed in the "won't replace" column like lmfao who the fuck you people gonna manage once you fire everyone.

The Screaming Females cover of "Shake It Off" is beautiful, a modern classic

we used the corpses of dinosaurs to teach rocks how to do math and for some reason we decided the best way to utilize this is to make a global network of thinking rocks that make people sad

recurring bad-faith arguments
- accusing someone else of being what they are in order to muddy the waters
- claiming that because something isn't perfect it should be entirely destroyed
- actively working to sabotage that thing that they're saying doesn't work perfectly
- trying to change the discussion to where exactly the line is drawn rather than which people are on the wrong side of the line
- blaming someone else for causing a problem that they themself created
- "we're not all irredeemably bad people" when accused of being or working with an irredeemably bad person
- just straight-up lying about what words mean and claiming things as fact that are exactly the opposite of easily-verifiable facts
now for the hard part
what recent situation am I talking about?

describing a protest using words like "inappropriate" and "disruptive" to cries of "yes, thank you, we know what a protest is"
Is there a good instance for posting pictures of graffiti? One where I'm not going to get @ed by a rowdy white grandfather?
