@CHRISF0GLE The interesting thing is a lot of those ‘90s guys—specifically PTA, Radiohead, Wes Anderson, and Fiona—aren’t respected much more now than they were at age 30 or younger. We pretty much crowned them all-timers with their second or third movies/albums

When I think about the most respected artists alive today—PTA, Radiohead, Wes Anderson, Thomas Pynchon, Fiona Apple, Leonardo DiCaprio, Patti smith, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan—they’re basically all at least 50 years old. Artistic development takes time

Have the “millennials and Gen Z have made no artistic contributions” ppl considered that we simply have not been alive as long? Rn Gen X is the most prolific bc they’ve lived long enough to reach artistic maturity but not long enough to die off. Give millennials 10 more years

The easiest way to seem wise to people in their 20s is to tell them they’re going to want kids someday. Then when it happens they’ll look at you in amazement like “how did you know??” And you can be like bitch ofc you were gonna want them that shit was the easiest prediction ever

I cannot get over the fact that I found $197 round trip tickets to Austin this year. I feel like I won the lottery

It’s kinda weird how the people who ghost you are never dead. Shouldn’t the reason they disappeared be that they died sometimes?

Why do all the best movies have happy endings and all the best books have sad endings?

For some reason I am convinced that at all times Infinite Jest has sold the same number of copies as the strokes is this it. If someone buys a copy of one, a copy of the other is immediately sold

Jami Attenberg’s publisher called her getting a blurb from Jonathan Franzen (for The Middlesteins) a “game-changer” 👀
