i remember liking the number 7 a lot as a child, being glad to turn 7 - this was partially because aesthetically i liked 7s, i definitely found 6s very bland.

No one actually cares about when Bernie Sanders conceded in 2016. 100% of the people who blame him for hurting Hillary Clinton's chances would still blame him if he had withdrawn three months earlier.

If he'd withdrawn three months earlier it would have been before the Russian Bear infiltrated the DNC, which means no leaks during the convention. So no, I think insiders really do care when he conceded. That it miiiiiight be unfair to think Sanders should have thought of Russian ratfuckers in his planning is another thing.

If the Russians' goal was to hurt Clinton, idk how much difference it makes that they leaked the DNC emails four days before Sanders conceded (and a month after anyone had a chance to vote for him in a primary) or months afterwards. Anyone who was pissed off about the contents could have been pissed off either way. Anyone who think Sanders bears some responsibility for Russian ratfucking would have pointed to Russian social media trolls instead of DNC emails if they had never been leaked.
It seems as if ‘the dnc emails’ was less something to be disclosed, some mass of data, and more something that was constructed. The meaning of the emails was something made by a whole system of influence, mass communications, ideology etc.
I think the timing of the release was important for this process, the resulting meaning being chaotic. Of course maybe he result has more to do with the shape of the system processing the media than the contents of the media itself. Would the mass of beliefs about the political process be actually different if this process was starved of data?

There was no significant decline in Clinton's poll numbers following the July DNC email leak.

Sorry, I was more thinking about what the leak was seen to mean rather than it’s effects.

my less controversial but still controversial opinion is that film isn't a narrative medium. Neither are television, or novels, or video games. Basically only drama is narrative.

stupidity, which is a kind of intractable inability to learn things, certainly exists, but ignorance and credulity explain a lot more of what often gets called stupidity.

Anyone who has worked in a service job understands the specific kind of extrapolated "stupidity" that is observed when dealing with people at their worst in large volume. If the service person understands that the nature of their job pretty much requires them to filter out the good qualities of the customer to only focus on the qualities that have often brought the them to seek the service that they are providing, I can accept the statement, "People are stupid" as a sort of lazy shorthand for, "dealing with a lot of people who ____, and are impatient or angry about it, sucks". Otherwise, I agree that it's a shitty and wrong thing to say, and that the person saying it is probably at least as stupid as the target of their vitriol.

Tintin is bad. Writing is exceptionally poor, pacing is random, characters are little more than stock phrases and caricatures (often racist caricatures, especially in the early books), stories are a hodge-podge of "exotic" locales and meandering plots that rarely follow any kind of narrative structure. The one thing that is exceptional is the line-work and the fine level of detail. Unfortunately even this can't make up for the overall flatness of the effect, compounded by his reliance on stiff layouts and an apparent compulsion against every varying the POV or scale of what's going on within the panel borders. I never read these as a kid but since they're everywhere now I've read my son probably about a dozen and was surprised to discover that I've enjoyed approximately zero of them.
