There are lots of things one doesn't care about, but it's unremarkable that one doesn't care about them. Obscure lichens. Long-vanished minor-league hockey teams. Extinct rice varieties. Rainfall in uninhabited districts of Mongolia. Unpublished short stories by adolescent New England prep-school males 1983-87.
One only mentions something here if it's not enough to establish that you don't care about it - you want to make some kind of statement vis-a-vis people who DO care about the thing.

obscure knowledgey things are more worth caring about than vastly overstocked opinions

No one itt is actually providing evidence of a passion for obscure lichens or Mongolian precipitation levels tbf.

weird. i thought Jeff Goldblum was being Ted Dansoned
― Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 12 April 2018 13:40 (eight years ago)
Definitely Murray imo, in the sense of "..this middle-aged actor's antics would be weird/creepy if it was anyone else, but it's ok because it's Jeff (or Bill)"

Isn't this the plot of Life Aquatic?
― jmm, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:25 (eight years ago)
I feel like I've read lots of remarks recently too about how he's the one white man that most black people love.
― Yerac, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:26 (eight years ago)
GIS'ing Goldblum by year, it looks like he let his hair go grey around 2010-11. I think that makes a big difference.
― jmm, Thursday, 12 April 2018 14:29 (eight years ago)
I like his little slight of hand tricks in Nashville

email battles between people who write about music

i know it is rich to characterize one of the people involved as someone "who writes about music" but again i don't care

i'm thinking....i don't care enough to ask more about this.

Battles about music are so dumb - it’s like arguing about your favourite colour or soda flavour - subjective to how music hits your ear

Absolutely. Though it's amusing watching the reporting of it on the BBC, where they try to appear to balanced by mentioning some Northern Irish person winning a bronze at something when it's basically England England England.
