I avoided watching kdramas until now, why didn't anyone tell me they fucking suck ass

I heard 80% of social science phd applications this year were about researching A.I. I hope they all get rejected. People who chase these industry fads are morons; unless you finish your PhD in six months those social science A.I. jobs are being filled right now by more forward thinking frauds.

What’s behind the uneven exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners?

These fucking pigs lie through their fucking pig teeth, not enough to pretend "prisoner" is a magically different category because they serve the governments, they also erase that Israel kidnaps, tortures, and rapes tens of thousands of Palestinians. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

I am impressed by blue sky users ability to ignore Gaza even today

I made chicken nuggets recipe because I saw it online i haven't eaten these things for years but what the hey, I made things a little "interesting" by mixing in some spicy peppers to the chicken mash, I didn't consider at all that it made the chicken GREEN and impossible to gauge their cookedness.

The only thing I would like to hear from joe Biden is I'm so sorry bang splat

I wiped a strangely wet spot and my table and then a few minutes later it was wet again and I wiped it again and this happened two more times a wet round patch on my table in the same spot I'm trying to tell you that I saw a kind of ghost and it manifested as a wet spot on my table.

potter is an idiot, west ham supporters don't like football they like edging manager sackings, that's their entire culture, even the way they talk about the europa league win is almost they're irritated to win something, because it couldn't be fixed by a manager sacking, why would you take that job

the meme about the hobbit holding the ring it is me saying why shouldn't I make up a neologism where it is a normal word with some parentheses in the middle like it is 1996 and I have been reading derrida for six months straight

I can't open my mouth but to fucking scream anymore. I can't say anything or I will say too much. Is everyone else pretending they're not so angry and helpless that they could choke on their own fat tongues.

see now I think I am a simply contrarian because I would like to say to you: busies

today I found out that we're not putting two sses in busses anymore. I don't give a fuck I 'm going to keep putting two sses in there.

I don't think that when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it's a selecting process, knowing what's the most important and what's the least. And then be a simple man. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Here, the two parallel stories make a puzzle, as the two triads swap between roles, you guess he is her now he is he now, they're tapping gochujang spoons in between the narratives. There's something borderline metaphysical how the repetitions of a conversation in one thread leap into the next one and repeat there too, not even roles or selves but vibrating qualities. But this is a sideshow. Hong Sang Soo is a tension artist in reverse, each film with a device or a gesture that adds meaningless fizz. It's no good to film the realtime of less than human less than phenomena in search of boredom. Nobody watches "Empire", just knowing the gesture is enough. To truly worship the banal means taking care to string out its pleasures, to rest the brain with some flash so it can push farther into the de-mediated open of carefully wrought performances of earnest politeness.

I worry "Meaning is cowardice" will become some kind of slogan for Hong's films. It's true, it is cowardice, but only in the sense of stripping away veils or keeping eyes clear. Abandoning the enclosures of narrative isn't abandoning structure but freeing it to the balletics of this wonky parallelism, and the joys of being with another person captured so perfectly. There is a mood at the end of Hong's best films that is mentally extinguished. The thought is not needed, the moment is spent, is being spent. That is much more important than avoiding coward. It is relaxed immediacy.
