so vexing to meet someone who presumes you to have heard of them or harbored some sense of who they are simply because they, it turns out, have long maintained an idea of you (why?), and now seem to take your being unfamiliar with them for hauteur, charade, bid for the upper hand

Hiiiii guysss i broke my back and it sucks. here’s my gofundme. love u ! gofund.me/cbc998612

Settlers reportedly tied up his arms and legs, cut off his underwear, zip-tied his penis, then paraded him around his family while beating him. Corroborated by multiple witnesses.

@coolmomfriend absolutely the latter

is mfa writers workshop lit really that big of a problem like does it have a material impact on publishing or is it one of those things people could elect to release themselves from being annoyed by…

to entertain the opposing view, to admit the equal merit of rival or conflicting interpretations, to prefer a plurality of meanings: these hallmarks of the intellectual’s receptivity have lost favor (if favor they ever had). we want to mean something to be meaning it exclusively

it follows that what sustains this war is not our failure to reason but to be reasonable, so that even great powers of persuasion fail wherever one clings to his position out of habit, reflex, tribalism—where mere willingness to change one’s mind is tantamount to perfidy, caprice

the thing about the culture war is that it pervades everything and never ends. there are culture warriors in our country who are still waging battle over debates begun decades ago, generations ago…. dispute is the true idiom of american discourse—dispute, and not rational appeal

too bad, i guess, that with 2025 the intentional fallacy reached its expiry date, and all cultural production suddenly became impenetrable without their authors reemerging to delineate them. farewell to ambiguity, polyvalence, difficulty, obscurity!

it sure would be nice if someone were brave enough to interpret the themes of One Battle After Another in bad faith, or maybe increasingly demand that its director explain his choices, first begging, then hectoring him, and finally ascribing pernicious meaning to his silences

Retweet if you #StandWithWomen tonight.

even to say that such awards-granting bodies as the academy “cheapen” what they mean to bestow with honors is to get it wrong; these are committees to aggress the film, festivals to the hunt for autonomy of the moving picture, which hollywood prefers to see privatized, regulated

i’m not sure by which name to call caring about the oscars but certainly “cinephilia” isn’t it

Male cinephile au pair

OMG. The difference in speed between when the ball arrives vs. when it leaves his racquet. Scandalous!

i have never faved a tweet that offered the option to “show more.” tweets aren't meant to be that long; that's what a thread is for; that's what the 280-character limit is for. does no one care for the liberty to be found in constraint anymore! did oulipo teach us nothing!

I hate when shit happens to girls/you, I really think girls should live very long, like every girl should atleast have a 50 year run!!!

@intimateemoji that’s where you went ln???
