I really liked the math of it. It’s wraps the issue nicely.

The thread reminded me of a rule I'd broken: if you find yourself agreeing with Klosterman for even a moment, think it through for another moment.

Strange hearing the argument from Klosterman because he has a really good essay about how the 2000 election felt like a lifetime ago and how hard it was to relate to pop/political culture from that time.

Do you remember where that essay appeared?

Klosterman is at heart a Rock Guy, and sure, unless you’re counting Tuareg bands and other stuff he probably wouldn’t, it’s often hard to distinguish a 2022 rock album from a 2002 one. I study games and 2022 and 2022 are wildly different, even if you only look at non-digital.

What argument? I just know something "feels true". Oh no, that's just drool, I'm drooling on my Batman underoos.

It’s funny, because I was thinking the other day that relatively recent 21st century artifacts like V for Vendetta, Mr. Robot, Jarhead and The Village already seem ancient to me.

On the other hand, a comedy like Free Guy is absolutely a piece of our time which doesn’t at all plug into 2005.
