As much as it is lampooned on here, "queer lit" of the early-mid 20th century (Burroughs, Baldwin, etc.) mirrors quite well the psychological condition of the modern anon or incel who lives much as the homosexual man once did--in silence and exile.

@qbms9197 @mattyglesias In an ideal world we would have the information access and time to really dig into all that to get a true understanding. But we are on twitter, the website that was designed mainly around the idea that nuance and detail are superfluous. So you can't expect too much

[mr reasonable @finalnormalman]

@qbms9197 @mattyglesias Of course, but the reason murders have become the de facto "unit" of criminality/danger in this kind of discussion is because 1) they almost never go unreported/unaccounted 2) all those crimes have ambiguity and varied severity, different thresholds in different cities, etc

Ok look leftists don't get to start talking about "intellectual shortfalls" until you guys stop refusing to even entertain the idea that there may have been some progress in our understanding of economics over the last 250 years.

[big dog you are mother i mean they @finelylesberg]

@vicjokerera ive gotten into arguments about this because imo even if a right-wing person is booksmart, in order to hold the views they have, they have to lack so much empathy that it becomes an intellectual shortfall

Hot take: the script for Oldboy is incredibly stupid and it’s incomprehensible how that movie is considered to be so good.

@EPHaury @quirked_up_anzu It's a vacuum. They're in space. The sounds are for the movie audience, not the characters. Unless you also want to complain that there's no canon explanation for why music plays throughout the film
