if you’re saying that you’re Bee, i agree.

"just make a newsletter"

"just start a worker-owned subscription-funded outlet"

"just-" hey what if existing companies that were founded to produce writing about culture and society stopped firing people they paid to write about culture and society actually

i got a fancy schmancy Tangara that i’ve been filling with FLAC files. definitely more worth it to mod an iPod but i’m happy

that’s where my knowledge of Philly ends. my dad’s worked there most of my life but my Jersey loyalty lies with New York City — Brooklyn has my heart in ways Philly doesn’t

Pat’s, Geno’s, or some secret billionth other place?

MEGAN WRITING RECOGNITION LETS GO

Our good friend @dietdeitz.bsky.social joined us to reflect on Hollow Knight: Silksong and struggling.

i felt pretty charmed by the whole hang-out vibe, too. and i think if it tried to be even more Goddard, like being a meta-commentary with jump cuts and long VO and moody dialogue like people expected, it wouldn’t be as interesting. that’s what i was trying to get at originally haha

yeah, i suppose the camera does try to mimic at times, usually when it’s explaining how they got shots.

but i watched Breathless for the first time the night before seeing Nouvelle Vague and they felt pretty distinct. maybe it was a vibe/tone thing more than aesthetic aping

i think the reason it worked shockingly well for me was because it *didn’t* try to emulate any of Goddard’s filmmaking techniques. it sometimes feels like a film history textbook, but the main vibes of slacker revolutionaries making art felt perfectly Linklater. would’ve been inauthentic otherwise
