it is funny that I somewhat rebelliously got into film as the "lower art form" when I was in school reading the great books, and now I feel like I'm championing film as the "high art form" in a sea of short form slop. But I didn't move, culture did

in the 1990s videogame magazines had ads like this but it was literally exactly like this complete with the food and jeans leaving you trying to figure out what game it was advertising, then at the bottom in fine print it'd say aero the acrobat and something jarringly sexist for absolutely no reason

coming of age politically in the bush years meant pickling myself in rage and paranoia and incurious cynicism, and mostly being right. right for the wrong reasons. I feel bad for another generation for whom the value of knowledge and organization will be far from self-evident. as it was with us

So back in 2017, comics trying to figure out how to joke about Trump, how to parody him, was like splitting the atom. Late nights with coffee and Jack Handey. And now…every comic does TrumpVoice. And it gets laughs. It is easier than ever to make fun of him, and have it land.
