Movies are dope.
Architecture is vital.

one of the strangest fandom culture moments is going down right now; a section of the Stranger Things fanbase have convinced themselves that the last episode wasn't the *real* finale, & that there are cryptic clues hidden in the background of the series hinting at a secret *real* finale to air today

This has nothing on the 2017 delusion when Kendrick dropped DAMN and all his super fans were convinced he’d drop companion album the next week called NATION.
Only for KDot to release a special addition vinyl with just a reversed tracklist lol.

I loved this movie. Like many of Kelly Reichardt movies, it sneaks up on you, but this one carried a particular wallop.

Kelly Reichardt’s “The Mastermind” Reinvents the Heist Movie
This action drama, set in 1970 and starring Josh O’Connor, brings political conflict and existential comedy into the finely observed details of crime and escape.

Both great.

I don't like to share Substack stuff, because of Substack's open support of Nazis, but this is a good examination of #Pluribus and society and COVID and why people shouldn't be an asshole and just wear a mask in public, especially at the doctor's office, the grocery store, or on mass transit.
Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world
For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

I saw this headline right after reading about Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, being groped by a man in the street. Yet oddly there is no op-ed entitled "Did Men Ruin the Street?"
as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed
