This makes me feel like such a boomer, but I hate it how all media has been TikTok-ified and algorithm primed. Songs are shorter, designed for short viral clips rather than a full listening experience. TV shows and movies are sloppier, dragging on and on, assuming you’ll be on your phone and have it only in the background. Even books have been chewed up and spat back out as easily consumable tropes, with bite-sized chapters and mannequins for characters. This late stage capitalism hellscape we’re in has made art into something you snack on rather than savor.

taught myself how to do one (1) excel function and now i understand what hubris is. the gods themselves could not stop me

Spock during SNW S4E3: Clearly I must be dangerously inebriated why else would I be imagining James T Kirk, that's so random, it's got to be some weird anomaly, I have no idea why the planet is making me imagine playing board games and exchanging witty conversation with him, it's not like I'm GAY or anything, I must just want him as a friend, yeah, a human best friend, a concept I definitely am not misinterpreting willfully to ignore something deeper

'The Chimes of Midnight' destroyed me emotionally, but it also contains one of the funniest lines i've ever heard the Doctor say. the whole exchange is hysterical.

[transcript]

SHAUGHNESSY: I assume it was suicide, Doctor?

DOCTOR: Yes, I imagine so. It's quite clear that Frederick brought the car into the house, ran himself over with it, and put it back outside before he finally expired.

CHARLEY: Doctor!

SHAUGHNESSY: Most unfortunate.
