How to do the basics when your life feels like a dumpster fire?
I’m working through some super deep shit in therapy right now. I found out that my dad is a diagnosed Covert Vulnerable Narcissist and I’m going back through all the memories in which I have him filed in my mind as a victim and looking through what I now know reality to be.... It's incredible. Peak Godzilla movie. Deeply moving, culturally resonant, action packed, and fantastic pacing (with one unfortunate wobble). I also recommend Shin Godzilla, (the most recent Japanese Godzilla movie before this), although it's VEEEERRRY different, drier, sillier,... How are so many high budget movies so bad?

I'm wondering how many of you have backed away from "fame." It comes in all sizes. The joke about people in radio broadcasting is that it is "the lowest wrung of the entertainment ladder." Even if true, it is still brutal.... After spending some time as a radio DJ, I got my fill of "middle of the road" pop music. Now I creep back once and a while to hear some 80's songs.

I'm on my 7th (or so) watch, and just realized something I'm deeeeeply appreciating.

Just About Famous
Just saw a documentary film that was released on Netflix a few years back called Just About Famous. Although its subject matter is a popular documentary trope of follow individuals in a niche field, this film is extremely entertaining.... - 8Uphead...
Thoughts on "Heated Rivalry" and cultural shifts?
I was part of a conversation recently where someone brought up the show heated rivalry, and how it evidenced big cultural shifts, some of which include: 1) gay actors playing gay characters, rather than straight actors playing gay character or gay actors playing straight... I dont have much to say here, but I'm glad we're getting into pop-culture too! I honestly didn't think of this as an epistemic mess that auto-generates polarities until picking this as a topic, so I've grown in my discernment just having asked this question.... - david...
