I'm guessing we're less than a decade out (much less, in some places) from saying "beef burger" the way we say "acoustic guitar." The future marches on, and SFF has to find new traffic jams to predict. 6/6

One of my favorite HiLoBrow essays, "The Argonaut Folly" looks at the temptation and peril of creating a communal utopia by forming a small society of extraordinary peers, both in reality, and in fiction ranging from tales of Jason and the Argonauts to the Fantastic Four.

the 80s had a high density of celebrities whose authenticity was hard to figure out, as a kid. like, was Mr. T a real guy? he was like that in shows/movies but also in interviews? or pee wee, elvira, max headroom, various wrestlers. even alf was on celebrity squares. it was a confusing time.

I’m an actual pacifist. I want all guns banned. I just need the left to do less “violence is bad even when it happens to Trump” and more “this is the world Trump wants the rest of us to live in.”

I used the Clearsky app to look up who's blocked me, and what labels have been applied to my account, and I feel like the ability to do that is akin to a form of self-harm, and a major threat to all of our mental health. I heartily recommend looking up cat photos or your niche hobby instead.

Here is a full transcript of Jack Posobiec's alarmingly fascist speech about the war against "un-humans," which he delivered from the main stage of the National Conservatism Conference this week, immediately before a speech by a US Senator.

Scholars often ask me what they can do, and this is a tangible thing. State and local media are, in particular, hungry for opinion pieces from experts. Lots of people targeting that media is more effective than lots of people trying to land that one NYT op-ed

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

Lists of recommended books can be so aggressive. "Hope you got $5000 queued up in Venmo mfer, because this firehose only has one setting! Get ready to be blasted in the glasses by the 200 best new books coming out this fall! Buy absolutely all of them! Quit your job and read every single one!"

"I disliked them before they were uncool" says the new, moral-purity hipster

I think this is why adaptations of licensed media often feel so limited The original thing is built off multiple inspirations, plus new ideas. It's full of potential and paths that could've been followed but weren't. The adaptation is built only off the original and has no potential to surpass it

This rot feels like a precursor to AI because it's point-of-view-less. The originals are full of things the original creators liked *from among similar things* (or were bullied into including, with D&D and Tolkien); subsequent iterations are a flat, untextured expanse of the Thing Itself.

Someone's probably written a 2-hour long YouTube video about this, but I'm just sitting here thinking about how when Lucas and the team made Star Wars, it was them remixing little bits of everything he was a fan of. But now, when making Star Wars, it's just people remixing Star Wars itself forever.

Paper is here. Another great reminder that police departments are aggressively political institutions, and large departments have big PR departments, and the unions fight even tougher. Their claims must be subjected to the same scrutiny as any other politician’s.
