skimmed a piece abt the "south park legacy," saw it contains the same bits all these cultural commentaries do: 1) "it's impossible to be neutral in 2020 due to all the evil" 2) (author grapples with having liked the show/still liking it) 3) "show was good but maybe time 2 go?"

these pieces appear by the dozens, usually about shows like "it's always sunny" and "south park." why write them at all? the quiet part that's being said loud here is "everyone is waiting until these shows are gone, even me, and I liked the show...well not really"

many authors of these pieces are threading various needles, including mandatory stuff (like the "trump bad man" material at the beginning of the "letter") while trying to hint that "no i really like this show" while signaling that "well the show is bad, actually." fascinating.

since i just do other stuff, i try to prioritize only writing things for money in which i know these gymnastics won't be needed. i ignore the rest of it. "let the dead bury the dead" is the spirit of the age, in more ways than one

It's probably perennial, but I've noticed that the people who seem to have any sense left always have interests outside of politics

oh, it certainly is. politics in the sense that people argue about it, conventionally speaking, generally has very few moves but provokes great outrage. they're angry over games of checkers and constantly trying to tweak the simple rules of that brainless game
