The industry needs more directors who were alive in 1970s New York, full stop. We should've started cryopreserving them decades ago.

In an alternate universe all football teams are all named after poems and we'd have like the Memphis Ozymandiases playing the New York Excelsiors

There's a lot of propaganda embedded in presenting information via a textbook vs a YouTube ad.

I apologize for the deluge of dicta but "the medium is the message", and propaganda is all about messaging.

I do think it does encompass all human action, based on Plato's dictum that man is a political animal.

Any interaction between two or more humans is political, propaganda is political art ∴ humans cannot interact without propagandizing.

Down to the micro scale, asserting identity is propaganda

"All art is propaganda. It is universally and inescapably propaganda; sometimes unconsciously, but often deliberately, propaganda."

-Upton Sinclair

I respect you as a writer, Zach, but I'd lose respect for you if you thought you were superhumanly able to avoid propagandizing.

Girl, why do you think I'm always running TTRPGs?

Really miffed that when people want a "platonic friendship" they don't mean "I will use my faculty of reason to identify the best, ideal version of you, my friend, that transcends flesh and exists only in the realm of forms."

Trying to write a TTRPG encounter with a knight that always tells the truth and a knave who always lies, but the knight and knave are also in the middle of a bitter divorce and so every statement they make is also a passive aggressive dig at the other.
