This is why I’ve settled on calling it an extremely IMPRESSIVE technology, which is not the same thing as it being a USEFUL technology.

Oh man, you said it, man. Hahaha.

I’m going to listen to it and I am definitely not speaking to that part because I really don’t have the seating to have an option there one way or another. I really appreciate you sending it to me.

Which is to say: I don’t what I said to mean im disagreeing with the critiques.

I do want to separate “woke” and “right” in how I mean it — the thing that struck me is that Eddington is fixated on a lot of very superficial cultural signifiers that has a very Both Sides Are Crazy approach, but that OBAA is legitimately empathetic about anti-oppressive politics.

How was that? I’ve legit been out of frequency for pta since 1999 and this is the first thing I’ve seen that I felt back in sync — but Phantom Thread is the only one I haven’t seen.

Y’all but this is really good and I know everyone said that but it’s also true.

Yeah so I’m kind of infuriated how much I’m vibing with this because I had a clean post-MAGNOLIA break with pta and now here I am.

Ah crud. Let me take care of this, thank you.
