I write enterprise software you don't need to care about and stuff about tech and politics you won't read because it's in Romanian.

Incredibly frustrating book. I'm too dumb to understand what his saying most of the time and I think that anyone who can engage with the substance of his criticisms doesn't need to read the book. But once in a while Lukacs drops something like this that clarifies a problem I've been thinking about.

What "woke" thing did Jason Aaron do or say? Whenever people suddenly start complaining about a piece of media, throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks as a criteria to be mad about, usually it's because of "woke".

One Battle After Another discourse really filters for who likes film as medium and doesn't.

My For You tab on Twitter is 70% filled with posts about Hasam's dog, mostly negative, since yesterday. This simply can't be organic.

Comic book fans continue to be the worst and almost all of comic book twitter seems to have turned into comicsgate, with slightly different pretensions. Kinda the same targets, tho: marginal queer creators and the biggest shitlibs authors there.

I hate Scott Snyder because he's so mid and over his head 90% of the time, but he still manages to hit some really high notes that nobody does anymore.

The technical proficiency on display in Adolescence is in fact the show straining to justify its lack of curiosity. The single take maintains the idea that the school, the police, the family are separate domains of social existence all to conclude that there's nothing anybody could do.

Randomly searched for myself on Google Scholar and apparently I'm a very minor authority on the historiography of superhero comics.

Hypothesis: managerialism, far from mutating or even transforming capitalism is better understood as taking the disciplining force of the market inside the sphere of production as the market becomes more monopolistic and capital itself more concentrated and centralized.

Playing Nier Replicant and I feel I stumbled on a missing link between the older Zeldas, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.

I don't get why people were complaining about the second part of The Brutalist.

There should be an award for managing to show your ass in such a way. That "epistemological break" sentence is work of art for how many subjects the guy displays basically no understing of.

Had to stop the episode when Vivek Chibber started talking about the authoritarianism of wokeness. That and the obsession with "thought police" is the most lib shit ever.

The conspiracies that DeepSeek are shorting Nvidia make no sense. You're shorting something that's generally overevaluated, not something that can experience a momentary drop. Nvidia's stock is already on the rise.
