has Netflix produced any classics yet? the closest thing that comes to mind is Knives Out but I'd argue that's stolen valor. I just remembered Mank is a movie that exists.

Like, solidarity with people who are fatter than oneself really feels like it has evaporated in a way that's both heartbreaking and frightening.
It's in the tabloids, with hand-wringing about the sudden thinness of some celebrities. It's in the news, with a refreshed and emboldened judgment aimed at people who aren't shrinking. It's in podcasts & thinkpieces, where we use other people's bodies as props to make our own points about shrinking.
One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*
I can't wait for the network television renaissance
do countries have deeds? what documents determine mutually agreed upon political borders?

Setting aside the creepy (and not original, other companies do this) use of AI here to manufacture words from the dead, this framing also reinforces the Western belief that grief is something is to be cured, moved past, ended, with a terminal point of 'going back to how things were before.'
can’t find it now but i saw a post this morning pointing out that we’re no longer just selling the rubes on being temporarily embarrassed millionaires, we’re convincing them they’re temporarily embarrassed war profiteers
The two things that I think REALLY separate Millennials and Gen X, are
