Saw OBSESSION last night and my number #1 thought while watching was, “Man, the production design is really strong, I hope that modestly compensated, new crew member gets hired on an even bigger-and-better movie and isn’t blowing their moment by being weird on social media.”
concerts without phones existed for decades and it was fine. content culture has made everyone entitled to owning or broadcasting moments. what you get in exchange for the price of the ticket, regardless of cost, is the concert.
being the bigger person
sometimes
burns like acid hitting your skin
but on the other side
you achieve a weightlessness
only shared by those little flecs you see when you squint

Doja Cat says she was “virtue signaling” with her criticism of Timothée Chalamet’s opera-ballet comments:
“l’ve never been to a ballet. I’ve never seen an opera. And I took it upon myself yesterday to kind of give it to the man because there is a culture based around outrage and things like that and people want to feel like they’re part of something. It’s a need to connect, whether good or bad. What I was doing yesterday was virtue signaling because I wanted to connect and I knew that Timothée’s goof up was something that I could leverage in order for people to connect with me and fuck with me. And it’s easy. It’s a modern way to garner clicks, likes, approval and all kinds of things like that from people. And so I did that yesterday, and I didn’t really think about why I was doing it.”
