Things You Just Don't Care About

x2

^^^

I also don’t care for the conversation around it. is it “bad”? obviously, who cares. it’s for children. better than playing with guns or whatever

also, tumblr, and what people thought about it, and whatever cultural impact it might have had some some people at some time.

and fan fiction, and apparently, "archive of our own". I encounter a lot of people on bluesky (and previously, twitter), and when they start going on about this stuff I immediately think "LAME"

oh speaking of things written in crayon: rap beefs. I thought this stuff was interesting when I was a teenager too — but come on

add to that: drake, and whatever issues he has with anyone else

wordle

i suck at all games like that though. my brain doesn't do them right. i refuse to play scrabble. i have some sort of letter and number thing. a spatial thing. i can't see...the patterns. i am hopeless at anagrams. i would do the word search when i was a kid. that was fun. those and mazes. i could handle that kind of tedium. my brain loves maze tedium. i don't ever actually have to get to the end of the maze. i'm happy in there.

I make my entire living with words and word-based puzzle games are a complete blind spot for me. Can't do 'em, don't want to. I play solitaire and Tetris on my phone to drop my brain into a low enough gear that I can fall asleep.

kendrick, drake dis tracks

I'm bad at games in general, but word games kill me. My Brain is not wire in a way that will allow me to do a crossword puzzle.

Dis tracks are also beyond me. I'll read that Kendrick is killing Drake in some song and I get excited and when I listen to it... "Is that all there is?" Sounds like teenagers bickering, who gives a shit.

fucking met fucking gala fuck off with your fucking slavering 0.00001% worship

The theme is based on a Ballard story? Do they know Ballard at all?

This way when they all get completely coked out and a sex worker winds up murdered they can just claim it was all in keeping with the theme of the night...

It’s not rap beefs that I don’t care about, but rather the whole residue of media release strategy optimization of this one in particular

i think i own at least 10 different Roxanne answer records - still looking for Roxanne's podiatrist and Roxanne's CPA - and that might be my one and only interest in rap beefs. i've been a rap fan since 1979 - or 1973 if you count "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" - and i guess i just never paid attention to who hated who. i mean unless it was really blatant in a song. then i noticed. but i didn't care.

So many here I concur with:

Andre 3000 / Big Boi post-Outkast
Nu Rap Beefs

add to that:
Blur and/or Blur vs Coachella
Seinfeld post-Seinfeld

Whether or not The Garrick Club accepts women.

it is a bit like campaigning for women to be allowed to operate the orphan mincing machine.

a bit like when Helen Lewis was getting bothered about the sexist inequities of the UK aristocracy

Rebel Wilson

I was born in 1954. I meet the definition of a 'baby boomer' as completely as possible. At this point in my life I couldn't give two shits about whatever it is that's supposed to mean. Same goes for GenX, Millenials, GenZ or any of the sub-sub-headings for various USA generations that have been cooked up entirely by marketing geniuses looking for a way to sell more stuff.

I wish all that nonsense would just dry up and blow away through disinterest. But people like to be labeled I guess. It feels important to them for reasons I find hard to fathom.

ok boomer

So, I guess I do care that anyone swallows this garbage as meaningful. I don't care about the particular content of the garbage that they so eagerly consent to swallow.
