I don't care for that Hannibal/Young Pope kind of excessive gloss but yes young pope is a better show.

I saw Get Out last night. It was pretty good, but you can tell Jordan Peele hasn't even read Settlers.

I saw Get Out in the worst possible conditions (at a movie theater) so its hard to even recall whether it was any good. what i do remember is that the theater which seats less than 100 people somehow managed to house an audience made up of 99% white NPR fans and i got the feeling everyone was just a little bit too in on the joke. theres a kind of performative allyship going on in the response thats 10x more obnoxious when it takes the form of applauding an inanimate move screen like a fucking degenerate

I just discovered Super Deluxe channel on youtube and I am watching Jim Bakker videos for the first time on it (as stoner parodied). They are hilarious, especially when stoned.

just watched The Coming War On China. really great for a mainstream western doco, as Pilger's stuff usually is. there's a weird patch in the middle where he feels the need to insert the standard critiques of contemporary china (it's capitalist, there is significant inequality, repression of speech) but none of it's really harped on too much. the vast majority of the film is condemnation of the amerikkkan war machine and a catalogue of horrors - most of the first half is just about bikini atoll and the marshall islands. strongly recommend this one

The one constant of the Star Trek universe is characters in it care deeply about things current day earth men would know about - but only if those things are in the public domain. This is the reason the JJ Abrams movies are garbage, Kirk likes brands of motorcycles and liscenced rock and roll music? Bull shit. The man likes ragtime music, classical music, George Bernard Shaw, and Moby Dick.

mst3k would quote roughly fifty thousand times the part of that episode where the klingon guy does impressions and shouts "help me spock", and that's good.

I watched two episodes. it's as aware of itself as you think it'd be and just as insufferable about it. Wesley is even in it.

looking backward (1888) by edward bellamy owns in its own right but also galvanized the american labor movement leading into the 20th century

oh shit and also USA by john dos passos, which is maybe the one Great American Novel, moby dick aside
(dos passos went weirdly proto-libertarian later in life and fell from grace but his early novels are still incredible)

i know mieveille calls himself a marxist but i read perdido street station and thought it was kinda just regular dungeons and dragons pulp fantasy. maybe something else is good


one of the sequels, iron council, is very explicitly socialist, but it's also suffers from the same sense of self-indulgence you were probably picking up in perdido. if you have a high tolerance for pulp, as I do, it's worth reading, but it's not what I would reach for if I trying to sell someone on the idea that genre fic isn't for gay nerds
