I don't think Walt Disney was a particularly good person or even a very good artist, but he WAS very willing to spend a shitload of money to develop art and technology to chase his impossible dreams and THAT'S what made Disney actually innovative and interesting.

I think that’s why, as an adult, I find it insulting when people replace the word Christmas with holiday when they’re trying to be inclusive. An ugly holiday sweater is not a tradition I have any familiarity with.

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

I know both these words very well and somehow never made this connection till now. TIL
To explain: "Kabbalah" is a term referring to a wide array of mystic practices and texts in Judaism, but antisemites have LONG used it as an example of Judaic secretiveness and evil
Ergo describing some evil secret group as a "cabal"
Anyway, now you know

For a fast way to reduce traffic deaths: Just slow down.

Okay, so: once you’ve nicked £90m in assorted crown jewels from a national museum, I think it’s safe to say you no longer fall into the “petty crime” category even if you haven’t previously been noteworthy in your field.

If you accept that there are WOMEN - actual, real women who also like it, then that means, first, the lifetime of low-key shame was uncalled for and in fact wrong; and second that inability to find a romantic partner was never about liking the wrong things.

ACTUALLY, I have a theory that most books enter a cultural "uncanny valley" 20-25 years after release, where the culture has shifted just enough they're not contemporary anymore, so new readers can't directly relate, and they stay in the valley for about 50 years until they're clearly historical
Is there, like, an interregnum during which a book should be gracefully retired, until such time as it becomes "a classic, an artifact of its times"?
