In 20 minutes, I'll have lasers shot at my eyeballs and for the first time since I was 4, 37 years ago, I won't need glasses anymore!

Modern technology means 5 years from now, my night vision won't deteriorate to a point where I can't drive safely anymore. That's pretty great!

Umberto Eco wrote about the 14 Common Features of #Fascism

Eco grew up in Mussolini’s Italy, experiencing first hand the rise of fascism.

It’s not a revolution, but by infecting society with anger and resentment, and by dividing people

at the time that film came out I remember quite a lot of "it's disgusting that he even wanted to" discourse.

but I actually think we could do with having a great deal more art about how people have problematic desires, wrestle with them internally, and manage to avoid becoming abusers.

also: the meaning of American Beauty isn't "40 year old men, you should fancy a 16 year old girl!'

*the text of the movie* is a man who comes to realise that his yearning to have sex with a teenage girl is about his own inadequacies and his failures as a man and a human being.
Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know.

If you’re popping a random idea into ChatGPT and getting a listicle, it won’t be long before everyone realises they don’t need to pay you for that.

and then what do you pay for? surely: the value of unique writing style, unique personal perspectives and genuine real thinking in a piece goes up.

interesting how much AI writing slop is still being charged for on Substack when… if I see some fun listicle where the first couple of sentences are AI-generated I can easily go and ask ChatGPT or Claude to make that article for me.

I think we're in a period of intense 'AI arbitrage'

Watched "Merrily We Roll Along" for the first time last night and now I'm deep in the feels.

Brilliant structure, and also a mature bitterness about friendship that feels very real to me.

Possible that I am developing a liking for... musicals. 🤯

I can't believe none of us had "J.K. Rowling in the Epstein Files" when, in retrospect, this should have been obvious.
JK Rowling has not tweeted since openly denying that her team invited the world's most notorious child rapist to a kid's play despite evidence directly disproving her claims

The bad news is that this site is almost certainly filled with feds by now. The good news is that we can give them all fetishes that will absolutely make them question their entire lives. This is the plot to pretty much every Grant Morrison comic by the way.
