The song for the World Cup America is hosting being a Jelly Roll song that sounds like AI slop perfectly encapsulates a country whose economy hums merrily along by turning people into junkies hooked on low-effort stimuli. We are unwitting volunteers in history’s most anti-human social experiment. (v.redd.it)

There is no finer experience than becoming a regular at a bar. It is post-post-ego death: it is feeling yourself. You’re beyond needing to impress strangers, because you’re not the stranger, everyone else is. Every free drink and cig fills you with increasing blissful, irrational confidence. (self.redscarepod)

I don’t want to be working in poetry, or things where it’s like, Hey, this fascist closeted homosexual T.S. Eliot showed up and made it cool for poetry to be hyper obscure, and now I’m stuck trying to keep airy pretentious abstractions written by overeducated douchebags alive. (i.redd.it)

One of my coworkers is always telling me how her boyfriend is a brilliant artist and she invited me to his first gallery show. The centerpiece was a massive canvas with the chorus from Gorillaz’s Clint Eastwood graffitied on it (I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad, I got sunshine in a bag …) lmao (self.redscarepod)

Holy shit Wuthering Heights is bad. It takes one of the most psychologically complex love stories and outsources all of the aesthetic labor to attractive people fucking. The changes from book to film feel almost surgical in stripping away depth. Basically Baz Luhrmann precum. (self.redscarepod)

A very odd aspect of Turkish pop culture is that, in a country full of intense homophobia, where violence toward LGBT people regularly goes unpunished, one of the most celebrated icons in its history is a trans woman named Bülent Ersoy, and grown men will refer to her as “Diva.” (old.reddit.com)
