If HBO has confidence in the season it gets a premiere a few weeks out if it thinks it’s weak or controversial your le getting the premiere like the week of. See Euphoria S3 or HOTD s2

Moreover the idea that there’s some dividing line between “a civilization” and an “economic zone” is generally speaking just ahistorical nonsense

Seeing more slop accounts talk about “America is an economic zone not a country” which feels like a widespread case of Not Getting It.

@Optimistic24228 Americans give government workers shit for having “overpaid do nothing jobs” but that accusation has been far more applicable to the private sector over the past 30 years. The sort of wages people were seeing at the height of ZIRP simply weren’t sustainable.

Anyone with sense of actual material aspects of economics knew these white collar jobs would not last. You need actual tangible production and technology. Bs jobs for the sake of juiced profits from financialization tricks was never going to be sustainable

@YungKark but even there it’s ridiculous because ultimately who wins a fight will be who the author wants to win in order for the story to progress

@YungKark I think the popularity of shonen battle anime also plays a role, because most of these shows are about fights before anything else it’s basically the only type of media where “powerscaling” as critique makes some small sense.

I always thought powerscaling convos were supposed to be tongue in cheek at what point did people start convincing themselves it was real literary criticism

Drake used to have far more of an ear for international sounds and developments along with a good feeling for street rap but he’s just lost that with a few exceptions here and there.

this conception of Drake hate is like a decade out of date lmao.
R.Сам 🦋🐏@Logo_Daedalus

My theory of Drake hate has a lot to due to with the socialization of millennial white boys who would talk about “real music” (dadrock) against Justin Bieber in their youth, transferring that to Wayne/Drake in the YOLO era, but at the same time becoming “poptimistic” regarding rap (Kanye specifically) in the Obama era when it became gauche to not listen to rap, so then adopting the “real rap” borrowed authenticity in order to shield from accusations of “not getting the culture”— Kanye became problematic— so Kendrick Lamar was the golden child for this exact moment— one could now just say “Kendrick” & be “a real one” — & a Pulitzer Prize too! Nobody will judge you for “slumming it” when it’s “literary”— The Millennial White Boy is now a Millennial White Man & he says “Kendrick bodied Drake” & feels that he has absolved himself of all the guilt of saying “music is like candy, you throw out the rappers” in elementary school— Drake is too close to himself, Drake is a “white boy” in these terms of “ethnic authenticity” where the definition of “real rap” is west coast gangster rap that was “political” — this is what the Pitchfork review of Iceman is, “Drake is unserious party music, but Real Rap is Political and about Race & that’s Kendrick, & I am an intellectual” — they are still embarrassed about the idea of music being “fun” or “for the clubs” etc— music must be “an object of contemplation” to be “art.” Music isn’t for enjoying a car ride, in the car we listen to NPR, music is like a movie, you sit down with an album-experience, a concept album, & treat it like it’s a movie. Rap becomes an “audiobook/podcast” about the “real experience of african americans”— & you can tune in once a year & this is your penance for being “lowkey racist” against the genre in your youth. Real music is still a Pink Floyd concept album to you— it has to be narrativized as opera— it has to be HAMILTON hahahahaha

Like idk why people expect Alicent to do anything else if she’s actively lying to herself. Alicents entire arc is about how she’s constructed an entire constellation of lies around her life to avoid dealing with the ugly reality of her situation.

When you lie to yourself in order to do something you generally end up believing the lie
