Aftyn put in the work and ran a solid campaign, even after not fully mitigating what could be considered “baggage” in much of the district. At the end of the day though…

*whispering*

…too many people voted

Big respect to Nashville SC ruling the roost in my home state. But I do wonder if this is one of those measures that reports the *relatively* highest search result for an area rather than the true modal outcome.

The Lisey’s Story miniseries was solid and often pretty creepy. However if I could’ve “stranger in the Alps”-style dubbed over every mention of the terms “bool” and “Booyah Moon” with almost any other English vocalizations, my enjoyment would have improved at least 40%

Absolutely true, though somehow this still didn’t preclude its unironic use in a post-9/11 Wrangler jeans ad.

Yeah this was totally a backward-looking reassessment after they’d matured and (somewhat) moved on

Randy Newman made this point about the commercial limitations of his non-film songwriting. “You can’t have it on at a party or eat potato chips to it”

Maybe presenting this high culture version of useful folk wisdom can break through the ego-defense embodied by the terms “profound-themed” and “sayingslop”

my main takeaway looking back on 2020 from today and considering <gestures broadly> has been that the main lesson here is DONT HAVE A PANDEMIC

even if you could put aside the massive human toll, basic societal functioning depends on a million little things that a shutdown mucks up

Change to “justify it to *outsiders*” and I think we are ready to go to print lol

This is correct but I'd also add that if you are an insecure, unconfident man, the biggest curse you can possibly give yourself is dating a woman that is impressively attractive to the shittiest dudes in our society - a recipe for being endlessly consumed with paranoid jealousy
This and they're only really interested in very attractive women who use all the artifices to pander to men (often to manipulate them) because ultimately they care more about what other men think about the women they want to fuck/possess than they do about their own (to them unknown/denied) desires.
I think an important thing to understand about brofluencer ideology is that they do not just deny that being toxic and shitty makes you a less appealing partner, they insist that women are only genuinely attracted to toxic and shitty men and being kind will instead make women lose respect for you.

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

yeah, that's true. it's not 'dominant meta' precisely but something about how recognition of the meta (or the 'solvedness' of the particular game?) allows the space to be flooded with effectively worthless versions
