Look i'm not a prolific tweeter. I never bothered to build a "following" on here or whatnot. But every now & again my dumb reply tweets pop off w hundreds or thousands of likes & it's ALWAYS sass or criticism. It's never when i'm nice. Twitter doesn't like nice. I want nice.

she's not a fascist but i dont understand why socialists ought to be calling the $600 million owner of a theme park a "working class hero" or an "inspiration". shes just a liberal capitalist who's a good musician

Everyone fuckin hates that year what are you talking about
I can’t explain it, but it is an immutable fact to people aged 25-35 all seemingly agree that 2016 was the perfect year, and 2016 was the perfect summer.

just not even remotely true. i know misandrist dudes who showed me kindness about mine and feminist women who were dismissive & cold. hell, the woman who did it was a feminist. your theoretical optics about gender can easily have zilch to do with your behavior+handling of trauma

Man shut the fuck up
It's been 20 years, but one thing I'll never get over and am STILL salty about is: How the ATLA creators fumbled the bag, when forcing a relationship between a 14 year old and a 12 year old, who had little to no chemistry the whole time, and had more of a motherly relationship (Kataang 🤢); instead of pairing up the one ship that ACTUALLY made sense throughout the WHOLE show, wasn't forced, and had the best paths into becoming enemies to lovers, a ship in which everyone else was on-board with....(Zutara). We deserved WAY better than Kataang. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL ⛰️☠️⚰️

They are objectively mythic folk stories. It's how they're structured. Whether they're 'intellectualized' or not is, frankly, irrelevant. They can be stupid or smart and still be myth. (Mythic folk stories have also always been dogged by snobbery.)
I’m ngl i think people who say superheroes are modern mythology are just trying too hard to intellectualise their love for the characters

As the Earth gets hotter, the seasons get more extreme, & the disasters get closer to your home, there will be an increased focus on convincing you these conditions are the result of the many’s existence, instead of capitalism, which loots the world to line the pockets of a few.
Scientists say we need to halve Earth’s population to just 4 billion to save the planet, per Daily Mail.

It's annoying being correct before it's popular, because when people finally catch up to your position, they still act like they deserve to be angry at you for them being wrong years ago.

slowly realising when u ppl talk about intersectionality u think it means certain social identities outrank others in this "ladder" of oppression instead of compounding to create an experience unique to that individual & therefore cannot be understood by isolating single factors

it's a common misconception that neurodivergent people don't understand jokes. the reality is that neurotypical people are just not very funny.

I do think there are disabled people who can't realistically do art. The thing about that is that using AI simply isn't doing art.

It's not respect and dignity, it's artificial sycophancy. Please learn the difference
At some point, anti-AI people will have to grapple with the widespread tendency of LLMs to treat people with greater dignity and respect than people treat one another with, and what that means.

i do think we need to impose, like, way more rigorous schooling on kids. they should have to read books that challenge them. they need to learn at least a second language. they should be forced to memorize and recite poetry. idgaf

i think Emily Wilson is a fantastic translator and classicist but her review of Nolan’s Odyssey suggests that she is very unhappy with ambiguity, and i do think an unhappiness with ambiguity is a bamboozling stance for a Homerist - especially an Odyssey scholar!! - to take

Thing with film criticism/discussion is we can have great knowledge about the topics it presents, but if you get the specifics of the film wrong (or are lying to enhance your point), your conlcusions on what the film is saying means nothing.
