feeling insane because around two months ago i was in the middle of interviewing for basically a guaranteed research job (personally recommended by my former boss for a similar role at the same university department i used to work in) until they went into a fucking hiring freeze

I wish I wish I wish that fad in the 60s where they would make up a dance for everything and consistently doing it with the pop cultural horror icons of the time stuck around into the 80s because I would have loved to see what would come out of the slasher boom

Oooh I have thoughts on 1984. Mostly that I read both it and animal farm in like, 7th grade with no understanding of the history context or what they were metaphors for in wider society, and I still enjoyed animal farm and hated 1984. It cemented the idea for me that a good thought-provoking book should still have an enjoyable plot to carry it. If it’s intelligent but boring (and/or misogynistic) as hell, I’m not gonna finish it.

Honestly as much as I hate 1984- and good lord, do I hate 1984- I still hate Fahrenheit 451 more. 1984 was thiiiis close to being somewhat salvable- an outdated book, but not Shit- but 451??? Honest to god, can't think of one decent thing about 451. At least 1984 had a point to it. 451 felt like a spiteful ball of hating women juice and "this One Man will be Better Than Them All"

i have a lot of thoughts on glass onion and how im seeing people hyping it up as more than a who done it that happened to take jabs at billionaires and capitalism. if it was trying to convey a meaningful message about capitalism and the bourgeoisie (which I don't think was the intent and would have genuinely been an oxymoron just bc of what it inherently means to make a movie) it was always set up to fail due to the simple fact that we live in a capitalist society and it shapes everything!!!

it was entertaining it was fun and it was a well crafted story but was it saying anything actually meaningful and insightful about capitalism as a structure......

bc as much as that movie says billionaires are stinky and should burn (hopefully literally) it says almost nothing about the system that allows for the existence of billionaires and it was never going to bc that simply wasn't the point!
