  • It’s just a matter of priorities. In order to build a spaceship and get it out of the atmosphere, you have to do a colossal amount of ecological damage, which is the last thing we can afford right now. Space ships are made with lots of lithium and cobalt and fun stuff like that.

    I’m not saying forever, I’m saying that we’re in the ER for internal bleeding and you’re talking about doing an operation to fix our scoliosis.










  • Succession? No, I think you’d like it. The Roys are all bumbling, incompetent manchildren throughout the entire series. You’re just watching them get dunked on the entire time—they never once make a decision shown to have positive consequences.

    I’m sort of confused at it being called fascist apologia. It’s not revolutionary, sure, but the worst I can accuse it of is nihilism. The Roys are stand-ins for Bloomberg, Murdoch, Zuckerberg, etc and they’re mercilessly mocked by the story. They fail to maintain any sort of meaningful relationships because everything is transactional to a capitalist.

    Maybe it’s too sympathetic to Logan, but I dunno. His kids hate him, he exploits young female staffers, and he dies alone.
