Son “helped” with dinner, mainly by being hilarious. Calling the fresh ginger “ginger fingers” and opening the plastic sesame shaker while saying “Aha, this is a great machine!”

Looks like I'm getting blocked by people tonight because Denis Villeneuve makes boring films. Fairly unreal when you think about it.

@LeProjetSerret @JaycelAdkins Timing, gentlemen. That's all it is.

@jhardin @Brandon93Smith “Statistics” and it’s literally just me breaking it down into simple terms for your obtuse ass to understand because clearly, you can’t read or do your own research. I don’t know whether to laugh at you or feel empathy for you, my god today.

Another component to this no one’s pointed out yet- these are people who watched OxyContin, then heroin, and now fentanyl destroy their families/communities for three decades.
The 27yo cashier with cat ears has buried a stomach-turning number of childhood friends/relatives.
The sheer hopelessness is hard to convey.

The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.

The era of online reader book reviews is after my time, and I paid no heed to journal reviews in the days of print. I've never written a formal review and likely never will.
What I have to say about literature is my literature.

I’m curious. Most authors desperately want more reviews, but how many book reviews did you leave before you became an author? Looking back, I don’t think I left more than a handful. Safe to say I didn’t leave reviews on the majority of books I read. You?🤔

@jhardin @Brandon93Smith It being 500% more common is fucking new!

@TiltAtGiants Piggy and the conch, the spear with two tips, Simon the mystic? Yes, I lived it plenty.

Do people fondly remember Lord of the Flies when forced to read it in school, or is it Gatsby level?

@jhardin @Brandon93Smith Fair enough. Post some data and not a story about hiking through snow to get to school

People don't want to hear this... but this is actually Millennials. Andy Weir is a Gen X, but the sincerity of his books speak to the generation under him. Millennials grew up in a time where they bullied each other for being sincere as the nihilism of Gen X culture was the dominant force. As soon as we became adults, we split into two groups: 1) continued on the path of cynicism into drugs, debauchery, and pushing back against personal responsibility, or 2) were free of the conformity of our youth and could finally do whatever we wanted and ernestly as we wished. This is why authors like Andy Weir have an audience, filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve as well. People are craving sincerity after a lifetime of being told not to care.

If you see Project Hail Mary this weekend, I hope you'll remember how I told you over 3 years ago that stuff like this was going to explode in pop culture. -From ironic cynicism to post-ironic sincerity. -Embracing the "cringe" & the celebration of the earnest "try-hard." -From deconstructing the past, to a nostalgia for some positive "vibe" we lost in the deconstruction. -The rejection of Fight Club-era nihilism. -The ability to stare at the apocalypse in front of you and be hopeful instead of a "doomer."

Can I add “internationally renowned” to my author title now?

@MegaBasedChad Has anyone read the sequel to this series by chance that is behind the paywall thenewatlantis.com/publications/v…

This article is getting a ton of hate because the writer is an asshole (refers to the "small world" of his diner goth ex, calls her "incoherent") but it's basically a correct assessment of lower class American screen obsession and cultural fractalization

I don't get the Godfather II people. It's good, the old Vito parts are cool, but the first is so much better. Young Michael and old Vito just hit different, and there's a real story arc to it.

I try to actually read my mutuals work and @bradkelly wrote a cool novel here with The Earthen Dark. It's sort of a John Carpenter-esque time loop mind bender set in a Detroit sewer, and he nailed a pretty satisfying ending. Kudos and nice work Brad!
