"The ambiguity appeals to the essential paranoid fantasy of the internet, that a mass of similarly behaving others are conspiring against you, and that you are not one of them even though you do a lot of the same things." @DangerBrooks on "bros" theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

@DangerBrooks hahahahha

I'm prepared to accept the end of literacy, but in exchange writers and editors have to stop imagining a reader who can't follow long sentences, misses irony, thinks of counterexamples to everything, and doesn't understand jokes. That's over. We're down to the good ones now.

“Heated Rivalry” might be a sign that audiences still have an appetite for sex scenes—when they actually serve a purpose, @fhill_official writes: theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

"The culture tells us, simultaneously, that we should be in a couple and that we should feel whole all by ourselves. We should have a partner, but we shouldn’t want one." @fhill_official on the false cheer of "single positivity"
