Well @robertjbennett.bsky.social, you keep writing ‘em and I’ll keep buying ‘em!!! A Trade of Blood was delicious, to my tastes vying mightily for first place in the series, but the previous two were so good it’s just too hard to make the final call.

I should replay all the souls games

A cat sits at a table wearing a suit and reading a newspaper with a far away look on its face. No text, but in the original meme it reads “I should buy a boat”

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

It flew against the windows a bit, so I pulled down the curtains and left the patio door wide open while Jess shepherded with a towel, and it quickly flew off, leaving its (deceased) prey behind for us to dispose of. Distant picture of the offender where it rested for about 5 minutes after.

Great article, especially love this insight:

That's not what "The Pitt" is doing, and applying this kind of fandom energy to it is screwy.

I think it's happening because some viewers don't know how to watch a show
like this, because they have no real experience with it. I have to assume they grew up primarily watching streaming shows that were written as puzzles to be solved, with a narrative culminating in winners and losers.

Has that warped expectations? Or how younger generations engage with storylines?

“I live in constant fear of the western descent towards fascism. But I digress… The club is bumping. The ladies look good. The alcohol is flowing. There is much pain in this world but not in this room.”
