I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.”
Oh well. That’s over.

It’s wild: the same Disney that rewrote copyright law to guard Mickey like a state secret is now handing him to the algorithmic sausage grinder. This isn’t creativity — it’s a billion-dollar panic play. When IP becomes “slop fuel,” you’re watching an empire lose the plot.

louis ck did That Thing to a friend of mine who never felt like it was safe to speak about it, even after the NYT piece to exposed him, so i say this with all of my heart: to hell with him
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?
