if you don’t understand why i attack bad writers, LARPs, liars, rich kids who don’t try, or people who tell shit stories— let me tell you about my best friend Mike Neel.

You prepared for this. You didn’t shower for days, a defense mechanism to ward off others. Now you emit your musk. Sit in your natural stench. It’s time to hunt.

This is what I mean. @BootsRiley a grown man calling himself Boots on TV. this is Raymond Lawrence whose dad Walter was a civil rights attorney and whose mom ran poetry theatre. What do you know about stealing to eat? This is art from 60 year old manchildren and it shows.

This is unfortunately true and what I actively fight against. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when it happened. Comments suggest Modern Family. That overlaps with another show I think made things worse: Succession. When there is no character to see the rich through, when we're forced to call a rude mayonnaise-looking woman named Siobhan a protagonist, we've lost the plot. I don't know where the problem started but I know it's down to the root. I went to the best film school in the world. My classmates were the children of celebrities. I walked to the library and nodded to Denzel's son. I was the poorest person there. The next closest representatives of poverty were kids who grew up with divorced parents and who spent time at a poor friend's house growing up. It was brutal. In retrospect, I should've bullied these people a lot more. The problem is two-fold: not just the spread of rich kid fare but the muting of legitimate working-class shows. Take The Bear. The Bear is the biggest show about people who didn't go to Harvard-Westlake and it's written by people who did. People who don't understand trauma or poverty. When you have no legitimate options, you must watch the private school soap opera. Unfortunately, like OP says, it's only getting worse. That's why Hollywood is dying. That's why it feels like there's nothing to watch except the same one or two shows from before. The Comeback is one of the hottest shows on and it's twenty fucking years old. And I agree with the comments that the youth are worse off for all this, they only see rich without work, they think everyone has money because everyone telling stories does. But my wife suggests it's not all bad. "You used to be the only person talking about it. Now other people are talking about it, too."

You can walk away from it all. Move to Saskatoon. Get a quiet job without a lot of thinking. Root for the Rough Riders. The Green Machine. Meet a girl at a bar. You can settle down with her and live a life where you— Oh. Ping on Slack. Better check that.

You can’t explain why the little streamer token pimp makes you ill. He doesn’t talk about code or projects or potential. Just yaps about drama between a rich kid TikToker and his “baddie gf” It’s like you’re watching a talk show in Hell.

A direct negative correlation between the quality of crypto community and when we started letting failson New York artists grift or even open their mouths

This one will really bait them. Tell everyone you put a great artist into AI and the painting is actually fake. That way, when people ask why you haven’t created anything of quality, you can laugh at them while still being an ironic little worm. Haha!

The original Looney Tunes characters each represented one of the seven sins.

Don’t blame the trust funder grifting more money from the crypto community. His dad probably spent a lot on this last round of lawyers and rehab.

You’re not a filmmaker, you’re a narcissist wannabe wasting $5k in tokens for a two minute video with less plot than a car commercial

The first Mormon fort in Las Vegas, established in the 1850s, was overrun by a mix of rabies and syphilis.

Before 1920, a large part of the average European diet consisted of human flesh.

Do everything you can so you don’t have to be lectured on “taste” by New York City residents

4th box into the case, when your best hit is a Cooper Pratt Top 100 insert, you start to wonder if maybe it’s not your day

It’s not the AI builders who you doubt, it’s idiots who think they’re making anything of quality. Those aren't short films or The New Novel. It's a CGI demo with less plot than a knock-knock joke. But no one blames you, you wouldn't be telling AI stories if you could help it.

Explain this to a Founding Father

Every time I see something about this show, I’m going to post about how bad it’s going to be. It’s going to be bad because some desperate 80 year old wants a check and a Ukrainian grifter journalist wants to fuck up good stories. Also, goddamn what a bad title.
