Not the first time this year. Someone posted a video of the Pope seeming to disappear a frame too early while walking out of a window, and everyone immediately jumped onto conspiracy theories before someone found the actual footage and it was just edited. Millennials and Gen Z are no less vulnerable to conspiracy thinking than the lead gasoline generation; we just think we're the heroes.

The gorilla channel happened closer to when Cleopatra lived than today. It's hard to separate myth from legend from history when looking that far back in time.

Sorry, I somewhat over-posted. He was accused of multiple sexual assaults by women during his CA governor's run in 2003 and when asked about it was like, "I've behaved badly sometimes." Consider the wording in my post to be enlightened speculation rather than demonstrable fact.

Longer than you think, Zoux! I saw! I saw! Long Presidency! Longer than you think!

But seriously, any return to even semi-normalcy, i.e. "a president who does terrible/stupid things but doesn't gleefully rub peoples nose in it every loving day", is going to break peoples brains just like coming out of the jaunt lol.

He's mostly right, but I take issue with:

quote:

If you know absolutely all the trivia about your cubbyhole of pop-culture, it saves you from having to know anything about anything else.
In my experience, super-fans use their absolute knowledge to socially muscle their way to the top of the fandom heap. They point out esoteric details not because they find it interesting, but because it signals that they're a more hardcore fan than you, more qualified to comment, that their opinion is more valid.

They're almost always male, and they're always insufferable.

He is describing the concept of cultural/social context like it's a pathology because it is a context he is unfamiliar with.

Which is a bold move for a man who literally spent his entire life being snooty about movies.

Like yes, some people like doing things as a pretext for socialization, some people specifically like niche interests because they are a pretext for socialization they are more comfortable with than more mainstream social pretexts, cunningly observed mister professional film writer you cracked the case.
