One of my favorite tropes is an older guy being like, “I’m old, I’m past my prime, sex can’t be a priority for an old man like me, I should give up—“ and a younger man looking at him like “I want to erotically hunt that old man for sport”

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

Melancholia. felt like i understood emotionally what it would be like for the world to end. i saw it at a music festival during a heat wave and when we left the cinema tent everything was dusty and and golden and empty and i really thought for a second that we might be the last people on earth.
Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

my hot take about welfare fraud is that if people find it worthwhile to jump through all the hoops for the paltry amount they'll earn from it, they probably also need the money even if they don't qualify for it

really reaching unprecedented levels of being a piece of shit arguing that the kid who was encouraged and helped by your machine to end his life was just using it wrong, my god
Sure sure you might say that my client's knife "caused" the victim to stop being able to pump blood to their brain, but Hume's 𝘌𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 really makes it clear that we should all have some reasonable doubt about the concept of "causation"
