Sensitive young man. Film autark. Inscrutable liberal. Semanticist. American. Multi-track drifter. Unreconstructed aesthete.

If you want to know non-hyperbolically how a kid ended up directing a major motion picture (many are asking), here's the actual plain answer.

[The Ankler @TheAnkler]

How exactly did Kane Parsons land the 'Backrooms' directing gig at only 17 years old?

The Ankler's Matthew Frank explains how development on 'Backrooms' came together with a YouTube-tested young filmmaker behind the camera - https://t.co/RiRLXsFKIy

Had the compulsive urge to see what Ivy Wolk would look like with normal hair.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

You must attend.

Alt lit in control.

I've spent the last two years of my life navigating Ezra Pound's work and writing notes for a Kanye West novel so I can't say that Martin Scorsese half-ass endorsing some hack AI endeavor scandalized me

@wallsallaround Uncle was the operation head and driver, not the killer, as I understand it.

[Liam World Peace @Fe11as]

maybe the coolest project ive seen this year

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

@lost_nomad__ You seem to be yelling at... the nature of reality? I did not just vote for LA mayor when I cast my ballot.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

Couldn’t sleep and wrote about haunted places. https://t.co/IST2khhl61

My Reddit timeline is just Cyberpunk posts that could be from real life and real life posts that could be from Cyberpunk.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

I do think that's an improvement.

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

The Romans used pig entrails and bird flight patterns to make difficult decisions; today we use excel models and whatever the analyst pulled out of ChatGPT at 2am. A major leap forward.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

What are some good examples of fiction that takes exponential growth as the base premise? Accelerando comes to mind.

[roon @tszzl]

if you watched a stupid power scaling anime growing up it was the best preparation you can get for 2026 model scaling

The moves I need to see you hitting on Saturday night during my DISCO MEGAMIX at the first FUTURIST SERATA on Saturday night:

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

@qwizzz @gaptoothdummy (Explaining viral posts to an American) Imagine a hamburger.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

@ZOO_CROO @KXLU889 Was a delight. See us Saturday! https://t.co/2O2IYC6in4

[THE RATTLER @ZOO_CROO]

Big thanks to everybody who tuned in to rock out with your buddy RATTLER this morning on @KXLU889, and extra big thanks to our guest @cairoasmith for stopping by to talk about his new book A CANCELLATION and his EXCITING PARTY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT at the Art Share Theater in DTLA!

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

OpenAI come and get your boy he's cooked.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

@pensandpoison What do you mean by objective meaning? Like inherent good and bad outside human subjectivity?

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

The National Liberal bit is so fun but also so confounding to everyone that I think I might need to actually put out a platform so people understand it's either not a bit or an incredibly committed bit.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

It's back to being called wasian. Love wins. Fun wins. Critical theorists lose. A thousand years of National Liberal rule in California confirmed.

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

Damn. Sucked the life right out of it. Wasian meetup event page yesterday vs today.
