My latest essay is out and it's very good and interesting 😌
In my last essay of the year, I discuss Frankenstein, fiction, authorship, responsibility, the art that we owe to ourselves, and the art we owe to the things we create.
The Daughters of Frankenstein
What do we owe ourselves? What do we owe our art?

They’ve figured out how to train service wolves. They can turn on your lights, get stuff from the fridge, eviscerate your neighbor’s children. They can even tell when you need your medicine and go get it for you

I think I'm responsible enough to have a squire. I'd remember to feed it, put little outfits on it, give it tasks

While in the 80s it was just something you said during sex, in the years since Leonard Cohen wrote his song the word “Hallelujah” has increasingly taken on a religious meaning

It's really impressive that Buñuel died at age 83, considering that "trickster-coded communist filmmaker" was, from about 1930 to 1990, the most executable kind of guy in the world

I think this is connected to people literally not remembering when he was President and blaming Biden for shutting down the schools, like we all just forgot for some reason and now that he’s back in office people are going “oh yeah, the guy who is horrible”

It’s not wrong to say that Trump has said embarrassing horrible things in similar situations but I do think people forgot how fucking awful it was to hear them week after week after week after week and you’re starting to see some people remember and just get fed up with it

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
