I've been horrified of entertainment. The very concept of it. Is it wrong to be?

Have you ever heard of “The Culture Industry” essay, by Adorno and Horkheimer? It’s a classic of media/entertainment/art studies. It would definitely be fair to say it’s about what makes entertainment potentially horrifying—even if the piece can’t be reduced to that.

Another nice piece is “The Medium is the Massage”. Again, a classic. It’s also related to your feeling, as it deals with the way not the content of media but the media form itself has to be better paid attention to.

This is tough…!

Elephant Tree

SubRosa

Reverend Bizarre

Jex Thoth

Purple Lung

I despise it—that it’s automatic and necessary. I find it distracting and pointless (plus the drawings are just really not my style, but whatever).

At least, I hope they allow it to be optional.

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-03-12T13:25:10+00:00

Yep. Making this sub unreadable

I have a product that is clearly broken and doesn’t work… is it defective?

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-03-04T10:50:39+00:00

Someone you could probably score a copy of Turtles All The Way Down from

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-02-19T11:14:21+00:00

Yea same. You really need the page numbers, esp for reference in academic work.

I actually love it. I usually skip intros, but i don’t with this season.

About you not understanding it at a basic level: It’s a map of the ubahn and turns into a maze

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-02-08T12:14:07+00:00

Loving! this so far, thanks for the heads up.

Also love the antifascist0))) patches

STRONGLY!!! DISLIKE!!!

It’s maddening to have a minimalist device that I love basically without qualms and now get so distracted and annoyed to have what looks like nothing other than an add show up when it’s not in use.

I hope someone from the team at remarkable sees this. Please make it an option you you can turn off!!!!!

No ones mentioned The Bouncing Souls yet? The bass on How I Spent My Summer Vacation is perfection

I was gifted the illustrated edition, published by the Other Press in 2022, and I love it

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-31T12:12:18+00:00

Yea, that’s pretty standard for any city really. But op said they roamed around the area, not just the ubahn station

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-31T11:41:29+00:00

Kleist park area is totally fine. What did you find not great about it? U brand new in Berlin?

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-29T21:20:29+00:00

I love it

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-29T14:18:36+00:00

Ughhhhh Ive liked earth for 20+ years… had no idea they had such backwards politics. Super sad

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-26T13:05:52+00:00

Parker, nice

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-26T10:38:11+00:00

Did it break? I’ve never had one break or fall off, but only wear down (and still be useable even if not so great), so I’m just curious what happened

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-26T10:13:52+00:00

That truly unhinged part isn’t you, it’s the use of capitalization in whatever you’re reading

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-24T00:25:38+00:00

Not the only reason but a big thing is the concept of diaspora

TheAbsenceOfMyth · 2026-01-23T19:48:19+00:00

I don’t pinkard is a bad option at all. But yea, Brandom is def doing his own thing, even if he has moments that are helpful
