Nice.

Taking nothing away from the people involved in making this happen, which I'm sure has been mind-bendingly complex, but watching that video I've never before seen so clearly the Kubrickian link between a spaceship and a caveman getting excited over a flying bone

i've done a lot of 'shutting up and listening' to feminist rhetoric, i can assure you it doesn't work. hasn't changed opinion #1. if anything it makes it all the more clear how little ppl care to understand men. we are not you.

also is the understood implication to permanently shut up and listen? cos that's a pretty rude and idiotic thing to say to someone

turns out sometimes shutting up is correct

The belief that the 'majority' of the American public connects all but one element from the list (and not a 'national health plan' precisely but inchoately-expressed improvements to the existing regime) to the improvement of their 'material lives' is about the most desperate, time-wasting shit I can imagine.

have to appreciate a posting style that imparts nothing on first pass other than the understanding that it's not worth trying to figure out the point being made

I was grabbing things from the fridge aisle at trader joe’s and had my headphones on, as is my want, but still definitely overheard the young woman next to me say, “he’s a muscle man” and flex. 💪💁‍♀️

Zing!!!!

I would argue that the fact that you don't think there's anything to talk about with a Meghan Trainor or Jason Derulo record, or that their popularity "doesn't say anything about music or society," means that you need to think harder. You're claiming that mumbly nihilistic teenage bullshit "says something about society" but the music that non-teenagers listen to doesn't, but society is not exclusively made up of teenagers. And I doubt your readership is. (I don't know where you're employed as an editor, sorry.) I would argue that writing about xxxtentacion is, in fact, the lazy choice, and that if you really wanted to spend time seriously analyzing popular culture, you'd analyze it in its uncool/off-trend/selling-but-to-the-"wrong"-people aspects.

Ok this is my least favorite challop. Not saying they're anything special artistically but theyre well researched and hit their target, maybe except the jazz one

They all have their problems but are ultimately good

They're propaganda for the supremacy of the concerns of white dads

What's his next one going to be about, classic American cars & the rise and fall of Detroit? shit is trite

everything is trite when you try to target it to an audience

i watched the civil war one again recently, it was absorbing and affecting, not trite imo

that’s actually the only one i’ve ever seen tho, the others suck for all i know

oh actually i’ve seen the roosevelts too

i liked that one!

ashokan farewell, the civil war theme song, can bite my ass

his docs are dece from an entertainment and factoid perspective, his politics and analysis are awful tho, poor history

the civil war and vietnam ones are particularly egregious in their apologetics for genuinely awful people/regimes

which is too bad! since theres not a lot of ppl out there making ten part series abt important historical events

politics could be worse, and i would think it could be argued that striking a more equivocal tone allows him to reach a larger audience etc

i don’t know much about historiography tho

So this morning my wife and I were both teleworking and I’m upstairs and she’s downstairs. She likes her background noise when she’s not doing conference calls and so she puts on a movie that’s full of explosions and shouting (that’s all I can hear anyway) and after a little while I asked (hollering from the study) WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING? And I hear “Civil War, (garbled)” and I thought, wow, damn, I haven’t seen that series in forever, did it have cool sound effects and I forgot? So I say THE KEN BURNS THING?!? And she says CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR and I’m like, oh.
