Now that its sat a bit, one battle after another is terrible. Transposing a 70s US countercultural content onto a 90s/early 2000s filmic language may have worked, but it could never also survive window dressing it in contemporary US events/

My dear friend Steven Thrasher just released his 70-minute interview with Alice Wong. She shaped so much of his book, “The Viral Underclass”. Bless Steven, bless Alice Wong. Remember to lift each other up in life, too.

Bro we literally have a ’Canada Drive Avenue’ in Kuwait because one of the first things the fuckers decided to build alongside roads was a fucking soda factory.
It never stops being funny to me that white people are so anxious about migration when they LITERALLY MIGRATED TO THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET

I am very grateful for things like the boston review, the lrb and laphams because they get brilliant people to write more accessible versions of their work which are truly a boon for interdisciplinary teaching. Feel like i’m cheating when i assign them as discussions go way better.

Final verdict: such explicit national allegories are so boring
Ditched one battle after another in cinemas and finally gonna hunker down with it tonight. am a film bro so liked pt anderson’s previous films, and have loved a couple, but this one’s given me multiple icks already. Taking bets on whether i like it, hate it or meh at it.

Ok early impression is that sean penn‘s is the only character that pt anderson understands at all and knowns how to direct

The New School is now a place where students cannot major in History, Anthropology, Sociology, Global Policy & International Affairs, Global Studies, Urban Studies, or Environmental Studies. And more pauses, closures, and mergers coming down the pike this week. The future is uncertain.
