Some guy who spent too much time online for a while and works making media. Old enough to fondly remember the days of ANSI color internet. Just looking to be an okay reply guy. Here for one-on-one human interactions, not performance.

We are being ruled by people who have no skill at anything whatsoever, they’re even bad at bullshit.

The problem is for 10 years no one has called them on it

Back a few decades when I went to music school there was a cork poster board for fliers etc and when they pulled them all down it revealed that someone, however many generations ago, had carved in the words “a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast n bulbous.” Coolest day of school by far

His book called Movie Megacheese is a fun read. Especially if you “like” Roadhouse.
