I would conservatively estimate that 90% of literary discourse online is driven by people who literally do not read what they're pontificating about. They complain about contemporary fiction, literary fiction, genre fiction, postmodernism, YA books, whatever that they just do not read.

Am I a heteropessimist? I am without question an old-fashioned romantic. And as a romantic, I feel there is no greater enemy of true, beautiful love between a man and a woman than heterosexuality.

I think people conflate "historians" and "people in charge of making textbooks for kids" too much.

we've known this for a while now.

If saying the words "ok google" makes the thing chime up It HAS TO listen to you constantly

The fact that these companies feel comfortable lying to your face should upset you though

Speaking of a lot of apps communicate with each other even if expressly forbidden
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

A villainess and a villain from alternate worlds fell in love 10 years ago but can only see each other when their universes overlap. Now, semi-reformed and stumbling through their 30s, they have one last chance to figure things out. But what if staying together means tearing both their worlds apart?

I dropped Regina Spektor like a hot potato when she had her post Oct. 7th insta crashout... but I still miss her music and the way it made me feel
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.

I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.

The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

A lot of people on here have politics that are like someone saying "we should create a world with no murders" and then you ask how and then they get mad at you and say you are pro-murder.

We used to make fun of people for pretending to be experts after reading one well-written article about a topic. Now I long to return to that arcadian idyll, that golden age of people actually reading one article before pretending to be an expert.

Hell yeah, heard it is good.

But random thought:

This starting a series of events that ends with a Two Kinds movie isn't fully impossible.
Markiplier’s ’IRON LUNG’ was #1 domestically on its opening day with $9M.

The film has already made at least 3X its production budget.
