      It's not even like the book has really had any impact. Like back when Jack Thompson was the end-all, be-all censorship boogeyman of the gamer community, nobody self-importantly quoted Bradbury because the tone of that book is actually, Ray Bradbury fucking hates your vidya games.

      Nobody is ever actually going to burn Ray Bradbury's books because they're just incompetently written and totally irrelevant, I don't really know what he was scared of, the guy didn't have a transgressive bone in his body

      Like it's really kind of offensive when you think about it I mean he writes about all these great Classical philosophers having their books burned and shit, while Classical and Enlightenment aesthetics are typically celebrated by actual fascists who want to burn books

      Like the people who have avatars of Plato and Thomas Hobbes now are precisely the kinds of people who would have burned down the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in the thirties, meanwhile I don't know any trans person who really wants to come after REPUBLIC or LEVIATHAN

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted Defund the Police  🏳️‍🌈

      Oh yeah!!! Ray Bradbury has a real normal one about C-sections in this book I guess because suffering during childbirth builds character or somethinghttps://twitter.com/Pullingaclaudia/status/1292221398346338306 …

      Literally the only thing I remember about this book is when the narrator is talking about his wife's friend with such disdain - she's apparently a vapid, selfish airhead and this is supposed to be evidenced by the fact that she...had her children via c-section

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted David Hansen, American Playwright

      I mean I don't know how much I can say about it that @arthur_affect hasn't said much more eloquently, though I do, emphatically, co-sign everything he's said I actually think the much more obscure HOUSE OF STAIRS, by William Sleator, is more interestinghttps://twitter.com/dhansenx/status/1292222970614685698 …

      Though it's been so long since I read that that I'm not even sure its themes are even remotely comparable I think my thing with Orwell is that he's just kind of a sad nerd, like I feel like rather than Rage Against the Machine quoting him in songs it should have been Linkin Park

      There's that whole thing in THE L WORD where insufferable writer Jenny Schecter decides to name her freshman manuscript "Thus Spoke Sara Schuster" and then has to repeatedly fend off objections that that's real fuckin pretentious George Orwell has a lot of that kind of energy

      I mean it's ironic in some ways that Orwell had such a beef against CS Lewis because they equally relished in condescending paternalistic allegories And while I'm no fan of JRR Tolkien, his own distaste for allegory has really kind of been vindicated by history in a big way

      my experience with sff allegories is that you shouldn't do sff allegories just write about the damn thing you want to write about, like go write THE MATTER OF SEGGRI instead of reinventing some weird "gender-but-not-actually gender" allegory that doesn't actually make sense

      I remain haunted by the quote where Will Smith said he enthusiastically signed on to play the lead in Bright - and by so doing got the movie the clout it needed to get made - because "It's a buddy cop movie where I get to be the white one while still being Black"

          As much as we like to dunk on Max Landis as though he forced everyone else to do this thing via his industry connections, Smith seems to be telling the truth He improvised the line "Fairy lives don't matter today!" with great relish

          I can see an actor finding that role to be excitingly juicy! I don't blame him for thinking the role would be neat to explore, but. WHEW.
