Oscar Isaac reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein you have no idea what you do to me
He reads stories EXACTLY the way I thought he would.

From a combo of how things have just fundamentally changed since the election, and MAGA screaming crying throwing up about whatever new culture war thing that triggers them every six days, I think on the liberal side you’re going to see less of “public canceling” and just a lot more “quiet canceling.”
Like when some celebrity does deranged conservative shit or whatever, I don’t see a lot of calls to “cancel” them. Just a more quiet understanding of “Okay, fuck you then” and moving on to ignoring them, removing them from the conversation entirely. Like how people are trying to get others to understand that no amount of calling out JKR’s transphobia is going to move her, and no amount of publicly shaming people for reading Harry Potter is moving them, so the only way to really move on is to stop talking about her and her properties. Same with Dave Chappelle, etc.
We saw this play out most recently with Sydney Sweeney and her “good jeans/genes.” Cons wanted to make this into a public canceling because that’s what they’ve learned to respond to. But the overwhelming liberal response to that was “Whatever” and then a possible quiet boycotting of American Eagle that led to a 8% sales decrease after the ad.
In a lot of ways I think this could be a positive change. It’s ultimately better to not have these people have so much rent-free space in your head, so it’s better to be able to say “Ok, bye” and move on. It also makes the cons look like the hysterical ones to the normies. These people long to be martyrs. We don’t have to be the ones to put them on the cross.
Just think how absolutely bugfuck it must be driving a certain formerly terminally online author that we all unfollowed him, stopped buying and watching his shit, and don’t really talk about him. >:)

At this point if they actually wanted to make a unique retelling of Dracula, they should have Quincey as the main character, market it as a tragic Western/British romance, and then halfway through drop us into the plot of Dracula
The lesson I learned from Dracula:
As soon as shit starts happening, start keeping diaries. All of you.
i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
no you don’t understand. i do international regulation of emerging technologies for a living. this WAS me stress dreaming about work
