Onegai Twins is like if David Lynch tried really hard to make an unremarkable harem anime. Everything is just slightly off about it, but not in ways that can be easily articulated.

The new Suspiria, based on the trailer, appears to include Varelli, which may mean that they will try to pack 3 movies worth of story in. This may leave no time for a blind man to have his throat ripped out by his own seeing-eye dog :(

Hot take: the ‘great books’ model of liberal education is insufficiently liberal, not because the ‘great books’ are insufficiently diverse but because the canons students engage with are insufficiently different from each other.

How China censors the net: by making sure there’s too much information | John Naughton | Opinion | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jun/16/how-china-censors-internet-information

Hot take: the more powerful you are, the harder people under you will work to save you from your bad choices, & the harder they’ll avoid actually addressing those problems. A perfect storm for inflated confidence: your continued success is owed to the people covering your ass, but you attribute it even more to yourself.

The best thing about Youtube’s recent ranking changes is that PMJ and Pomplamoose have a new album’s worth of covers every two weeks.

PostModern Jukebox demonstrates that shitty pop songs could have been awesome if their producers/arrangers had taste, on a weekly basis. 11/10 would listen again.

I’d watch the hell out of a Jurrassic Park movie if it was directed by Cronenberg.

Star Wars ASCII Remake: A Truly Text-Based Adventure https://tedium.co/2018/06/21/star-wars-ascii-remake/

hot take: to respond to a post without first reading all other responses is impolite. spend the small mental effort to assimilate other people’s reactions before spending the larger effort of having your own, or expect OP to be angry with you

reality is a shitty game because you can’t win. reality is a shitty movie because everything happens for no reason. reality is a shitty book because when it does happen it’s repetitive and uninteresting.
