Yeah I was thinking about the bizarre layers of like cultural sign-economy vs actual warped economic factors in this because like, if someone said US meat consumption in global perspective is decadent, sure? But the avocado thing resonated with boomers I think bc it FELT more exotic than eg bananas
Every other day a new recession indicator. We can't even have elaborate lattes and avocado toast as proof of our decadence

When did rotisserie chickens become some signifier of decadence rather than the Everyman’s Dinner, scored from the supermarket hot station next to the deli for around $5 plus tax? This society is so fucking cooked I swear

Do you think Himmel the hero would have supported communist china ?

"Since launch, more than a dog a day has been found and more than 27 dogs a day every day every year have been shot by the police using your Search Party by Ring cameras to hunt and kidnap your neighbors who they also shoot to the tune of about 4 a day every day every year, as well as the dogs."

Amazon Ring really slept on the "also you can maybe find old white women who are already dead or at least images of the kidnap-murderers that could be real or could be hoaxes or could be genAI for all u know cuz we all know the FBI is liars in their final flop era, who can say what's real" pitch

Honlywoomd PLS stop making me point at the screen and say “Frankenstime :)” you know that I cannot control this reflex and everyone in my life is growing weary of it :(
I’m saying this semi-facetiously but also I was thinking ab Bugonia and how many of the themes and narratives twist around some central problem of what it is to become a monster and especially w the perverse Genesis narrative I was like “god dammit I already say this way too much about media”

One thing Emma Stone’s gonna do is get cast in a strangely melancholic cinematic work that deconstructs the Frankenstein narrative just up to the point where you have no idea who the monster is even more than in the original text

Was all media always so “this is literally just a Frankenstein narrative” as it is now?

Finally watched Bugonia and still trying to make my mind up about whether it was a good movie or not. The ending makes it all just feel misanthropic and, by extension, ultimately caught up in the very proto-fascism of online extraterrestrial-race-science conspiracy shit I thought it was critiquing

Bugonia was the most overt and on-the-nose iteration of this but I’ve seen others in the past year, some that I can recall rn and others that I can’t. Every time it feels weird and forced and also fetishy—like do they actually believe these are the two avatars of the “National Divorce” or whatever?
I feel like there’s this weird 2020’s Hollywood meta-trope where movies keep staging a confrontation between 2 characters: one who represents girlboss c-suite PB/PMC narcissism and one who represents the Alex-Jones-listening conspiracy theorist paranoid white male murder-suicidaire

We stand on two legs because four legged things have hearts that beat in time with their running. We don't have to be fast. We don't even need to catch. Just surround. Our food's heart races until it gives out. We are odd hunters. Sometimes we don't know that we're hunting.

It went fine. Remains to be seen if anything actually comes of this. Tired bc I min-maxed to expend several days’ energy reserves on Being Charismatic and Normal for two hours in the middle of what’s probably a low energy/mood slump
Have a Thing tomorrow and I’m feeling either duly or unduly anxious about it. Who can say.

Beside the point but why does he lumber up to the porch like Quasimodo? I guess he’s probably trying to minimize the amount his face gets on any cameras but then he snaps upright after stepping through the brick arch that he was nowhere near too tall for right into the camera’s cone of vision. Weird

Omg I didn’t realize Ulster had a mural that serves as a spiritual counterpart to the (now removed) Nashville statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest (or was it Forrest’s monster? I can never remember which is which)
