wrote a new video essay review about a series of essays that expose how often "no CGI" in hollywood actually means "invisible CGI"

anyway youtube thinks i should advertise products in my video essays to increase my earnings potential

the world needs more sequels like Evil Dead 2. it's basically just a remake of the first one, with little care for continuity, except this time the horror is turned up to looney tunes levels of farcical slapstick chicanery

happy ides of march to all who cele-- oh hey brutus, what's up?

me: oh no, a musical number? this really is hell!
the devil: i thought you liked musicals
me: i do but i'm a terrible singer
the devil: that's okay, in hell EVERYONE is a terrible singer! AHAHAHAHAHAHA
me: NOOOOO [isn't in key with the backing track]

it's just your size! try it on, wear it out of the store-- don't pay for it, everything is free now

when i was taught prohibition it seemed like this wildly silly, inconceivable mistake of a policy, an alien relic of a bygone era. now in my 30s i look at prohibition and its stupidity feels closer and more relatable than i ever could've imagined. i imagine everyone knowing that prohibition is nonsense and being stuck with it anyway, for 13 fucking years, and i immediately feel myself in their shoes

except our version of prohibition is citizens united (the prohibition of non-corporate humans)

Show thread

you ever think about the fact that prohibition lasted 13 years

21st century economics is when you plug your fingers in your ears and say "marx isn't real he can't hurt you marx isn't real he can't hurt you" until the stock market closes for the day
