Hot take: it’s a good thing that genre films & genre literature aren’t taken seriously by the mainstream, because things that are taken seriously aren’t allowed to be interesting/experimental/meaningful. (See: Star Wars, & associated drama)

Hot take: it’s important to distinguish ‘junk food media’ (i.e., stuff that, regardless of technical competence, will succeed by delivering on purience) from ‘premium media’ (works whose popularity depends on craftsmanship). The former is more important for the progress of art, because polish runs counter to experimentation.

experimenters’ note: the catpot is not fond of water at all. apply care when washing.

experimentator’s notes: it was black tea I left for a bit too long (nearly cold), and the mug already had a patina from previous teas.
