Yup. Loved all the virtue-self-autopsies they all did too.

And following this numbnuts logic white people, especially men, should be targeted as they will be the most accomplished smugglers of drugs, humans, and etc.

This one and White Noise live rent free in my head. Both are so relevant.

It was the covid-era Imagine of it’s day. Even as a little kid it was condescendingly vapid and still offensive.

Umbilical by Thou and The Healer by Sumac were in heavy vinyl rotation for me.

Totally agree. As a kid the cops I knew loved Dirty Harry. So did all the other adult men. But the lone Everyman taking justice into his own hands was immediately accessible to everyone.

Just bought it. It’s next on the list!

Narrator: in the end, dems did nothing per usual.

Chronology, yes. And I understand that’s where folks like to start the slide. But Bronson’s character was a hero that was relatable in a way Eastwood’s Dirty Harry wasn’t and couldn’t be. The adult men around me reacted differently to each.

A pet theory I’ve had for a while is that Death Wish is the start of the conservative embrace of violence as a first resort that we see in effect in Trump’s and the right’s goon squads.

I’ll be right behind you. In spirit though, I live in Seattle.

If you mean, is the author deeply and unconsciously embedded within the patriarchal structure, then yes.

Jamie Wyatt, Charlie Crocket, Tyler Childers, Sierra Ferrel (a single), and while not a typical release, anything recorded by Western As Fuck (found on IG). There’s a few others but I’d have to go searching for them. Last few years I’ve been working on finding and listening to good country.

I credit it with poverty. When you’re poor “economy” is more existential (micro)and is more in line with its historical definition. When you have room to breathe the macro definition has greater relevance. It has a context dependent telescoping definition.

I would love to see the intermingling of these. My current self project is the breaking down of the curated tendency I have when I’m on specific platforms. Photographs on threads, snarky with academic tendencies here (I’m a philo professor in an alternate timeline).

Keep it coming, please. I think it’s incredibly beneficial for academic work to be exposed to as wide and as diverse an audience as possible. Flatten the divisions!

this is fiction but contains truth, such as incongruous age correspondence, can serve as such a reminder. Or using an obvious puppet and ugly cgi for animal violence, bad physics in sci-fi. The point is people today aren’t as willing to surrender to the imagination as readily eg YouTube detractors.

The first complaint re fidelity I can remember was Bertolucci’s Sheltering Sky and the last was Death in Sandman. Creative works often require a surrendering to the material that some refuse prima facie due to whatever, this refusal disallows the truth fiction can contain. An obvious reminder that

The 80’s & 90’s famously used people in their 20’s and early 30’s for teenagers. I think it’d do wonders for our imaginative capabilities to take this on again. I see a lot of people wanting strict fidelity to (re)telling stories and it kinda breaks my heart.

Here and threads are my goto for social media. Both are great for interaction. So far people in threads are being more civil and understanding. Plus artists are flocking there, which is a plus for me. Once philosophy Twitter picks a new home, I’ll spend more time there.

Thank you! Good to know. If I remember correctly, reviewers love his war fiction, and not so much his other than war fiction.

Early still, but how are you liking it? I’m working through a couple of memoirs now, but plan on starting it in a week or so.
