I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

INTERVIEW OF

BY LCDR
11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named
17|
Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

important to note real life is not, in fact, a movie

Jason K Pargin, author @jasonkpargin.bsky.social · 6h

It's fascinating how in real life huge stories just don't have an ending at all. Remember the Boeing scandal? Planes falling apart? Dead whistleblowers? Was there some kind of resolution to it? Is it all fine now?

It's like a plot that's just an endless series of inciting incidents

third alternative was getting to the russian empire and then becoming sex trafficked after the ussr fell. 4th was doing war crimes in palestine. no good options really

ali 🌼 @alibrooke4ever.bsky.social · 1d

yeah i am annoyed at my ancestors for getting me stuck in this dumb evil country but the alternative was them all dying in the holocaust so i guess it was kinda a lose-lose situation

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far
