A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

I don’t want a therapist, I want someone to thoughtfully and thoroughly critique my art for 50 minutes every week.

Turn from the ruin. Turn and go *forward*.

it’s beautiful to think One Battle inspired a whole new generation to read Thomas Pynchon’s wikipedia page

That's not nihilism, that's recognition of a nihilistic social order. If you want prosociality and trust, then we need to build new social relations, institutions and systems that are themselves prosocial, trusting, and not predicated on deceit, exploitation, surveillance and control.

Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads: "Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."

Walt is repeatedly shown over the course of the show to be a pathetic loser acting out his own weird fantasies. It’s not the shows fault pathetic losers thought he was coo. Rather I think that kind of makes him an even better character

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Are you ever thinking about how the sale of a single Hockney painting could finance an individual artists entire life and career

There are so many good movies

The Batman With Teeth in the Zeller's commercial can't hurt you...

Books and music and arts and film writing and criticism is important and makes the world a more beautiful place. I firmly believe that.
