i do think that if you are going to put egyptian mummies on display, that the room they are in should at least have a Ka door, and that there should be food placed on the lintel. the Rosicrucian Museum has one of those upstairs in the Akhenaten exhibit and it changed my opinion on repatriation.

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

sorry to be an old-fashioned scold but there is something deeply pathetic about being an adult and shoplifting just because you kinda feel like the rules don't apply to you

Obviously the broader culture is not in a good place but it's heartening that television keeps returning to one of the eternal storytelling themes: Padma Lakshmi imperiously striding into the room and demanding that you make her a delicious treat.

the show existing as a greek or elizabethan tragedy is the engine that keeps the whole thing in the correct register, imo. it always made me laugh when thinkpieces would go into How We Should Feel About The Capitalist Roys when the narrative's entire touchpoint is basically this:

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

β€˜Testament of Ann Lee’ Will Have No Physical Media Release β€” World of Reel I didn’t particularly like β€œAnn Lee,” which does have its fair share of fervent defenders, but there’s a concerning trend with Disney and their push to phase out physical media.

I am not a person who believes that it is the Criterion Collection’s job to fix all the movie industry’s failures, but this is a very specific one I would like them to fix.

β€œthe president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it

it is deeply unfortunate that so many of our best thinkers are now at the mercy of their ability to sell their ideas through video in order to reach the widest audience, and I do not see any signs that the trend is going to reverse

this is how people want to consume content now
