The turn to slop is something we actually have a lot of power over. We choose what art we engage with and whose art we engage with. We have the ability to choose films based on original ideas, to read books instead of just doom scroll, to talk about poetry instead of just Vanderpump.

I’m going to say this again: there is a wide variety of opinion on this website, much of it very annoying. There’s just no tolerance for “opinions” like “Jews control the weather” and “vaccines are causing heart disease” and “there’s actually a lot of evidence that whites are smarter than blacks.”
Apparently it’s weird when you don’t want to spend your whole day arguing with randoms.

Going to have to have a second listen to the first episode of It’s Story Time with @wilwheaton.net . There was a lot going on there. If anyone has it all sorted, send me a flowchart. Or, failing that, some red string and pushpins.
