Who is this guy

I'm Conner. I release original music as Foxxear, but I’m probably better known as the Co-runner/Cinematographer of the JettKuso YouTube channel, or for my guitar covers as Hardly Ramone. Here's my latest music video though

Foxxear (My original music):  YouTube - Spotify - More

I think we need to stop blaming the way movies look right now on the technology, like digital cameras or CGI, or "The Volume".

Today's technology is amazing, and we could actually make films look many ways, or indistinguishable from some vintage style you like. I know it sounds like a bold claim, but today in 2026, it really comes down to the filmmakers' goals, and what artists are approved (or allowed) to do under the studios' money. We're at that point.

Can we go back to criticizing style intrinsically? Blaming the technology is an outdated issue rooted in the early days of digital filmmaking innovations. Blame Director John Joe, or blame Universal. Take it or leave it, this is an up-to-date and in-touch perspective.

I'm 30 now, happy birthday

I must have done some of the right work in my head, because I've turned 30, but I don't really feel bothered about it. I was wondering if I'd be hit by some fresh existential misery, but not really.

I kinda just think "your 20s" are overrated. You're fed this idea that "youth = better", like it's this fleeting peak time to enjoy life -- Never to be topped, ripe to be wasted. I just don't buy into it, and haven't.

There are real upsides to being that young, but there are real downsides too. It's more of a trade off than the popular attitude supports, and I'm petty content to work with the evolution.

I actually really do like being smarter, better at doing/pursuing what I want, and better at preventing what I don't. I'm a better me in many ways, and I can feel a lot of potential in the air. I'm good.

Anybody else noticed how quietly unclear the meaning of "masculinity" and "femininity" is across the culture?

I feel like people argue about things in relation to these terms without being on the same page about what the terms mean in the first place.

I'm not talking about about distinctions like "Is X trait feminine", I mean more fundamental definitions of what these words explicitly reference. What is their origin and present relevance to gender, biology, aesthetics, etc..

A flower is feminine. It also isn't. The correctness of an answer depends on what the word refers to fundamentally.

It's like if three people were talking about the plot of three different movies of the same name, thus believing they're all analyzing and debating elements of the same singular film. Progressing or debating any ideas becomes a mess.

It wouldn't be so bad if these conversations weren't so important. issues relating to gender & biology etc. are HUGE. So much energy is being wasted on not understanding each other, or in some cases not understanding an inconsistency in our own statements, due to clashing definitions we've subconsciously internalized.

I'm groaning while I wait for the culture to find the distinctions in the different conversations we're having, and start generating separate terms for clearer communication. It's gonna take forever isn't it?

Think about all the times you've seen a lengthy argument turn out to be a partial miscommunication, and how much time and energy was wasted on all the confusion it created. We're in it now.

the part of BDSM that is catholic isnt the part where you spank people and put them in cages it's actually the elaborate social scaffold of consent and concensus which is an outpouring of scholastic liberal modernity and a continuation of the iconographic project (making mysteries explicit, thus corrupting them). stepping on trade's dick can still be protestant. it can still be protestant

maul's entire life forever is just being right about everything and people not listening to him because they have "morals" and he "kills people"

[dathomirdarling]

it’s infuriating how no one listens to him or allows him to try and be better.

Maul at this point is an incredible exploration of being intelligent, skilled, knowledgeable, and frequently correct, and yet... struggling so much, because being raised by abuse tends to be a uh. Handicap.

This "handicap" is the damage to who he is and the cyclic nature of how he negatively affects the world around him, and receives a tougher situation roundabout in return. He is punished ultimately for a core problem he didn't create. Of course people don't trust the murder man, but damn... it sucks. doesn't it?

His story will ultimately be one of remaining a bit too governed by his fear and hatred to overcome his huge handicap. If done well, it'll sting a lot, because it will be very tragic and unfair when you zoom out.

All the same, it should also give us a lesson on steering wrong by chosen philosophy, and how it comes down to what you believe in that perhaps seals your fate the most. Maul has some bad takes, and he's not going to fix them.

Some people can afford to be pretty lame, and their situation allows them to get by anyway. Maul is actually pretty amazing, but he has so much working against him, he really can't afford to have his head in the wrong place. But he will, somewhat, to the end.

Star Wars is about hope. Perhaps Maul's story can offer us hope in showing the cracks where someone quite doomed can change their own destiny, but turns away from it. This means we can be different.

i think this is the funniest possible image that could be used to illustrate this subject

OK FUN FACT i also thought this picture was hilarious when i encountered it a few months ago, so i was curious how it ended up on wikipedia

it turns out the uploader is in fact the woman in the photo (she's uploaded a few other pictures of herself to other articles) and she ran an extremely web 1.0 site on the topic of bondage

this was apparently a long-standing fantasy of hers and she in fact did an entire video plus accompanying photoshoot about it, which was run in a bondage magazine in the 90s and did in fact take place on an abandoned train track. they committed to the bit hard enough that there's even a shot of the sinister villain looming over her with a big document labeled DEED and a pen

the best part is that according to this page, there were two "villains" involved (the woman's two partners, apparently), and the other one was dressed as a gorilla. sadly there are no images of the gorilla kidnapper because that sounds like. even funnier.

anyway i thought this whole thing was kinda cute, lol
