"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything
Tolkien, in his essay on fairy stories, says that children's stories should perhaps allow space for growth as children's clothes do. Incredibly depressing to see people rejecting the idea that even stories for adults shouldn't ever do that
The true revelation of this World Cup about life in ‘America’ is how much of it is just corporate insider deals with corrupt government officials that no one else wants and US Americans hate. Military fly-overs, ‘hydration breaks,’ water bottle bans, etc. are not cultural, they’re corruption.

I'm laughing so hard at the irony of someone staring into a screen and asking an AI for a definition of scrying that I think I might need a new pair pants 😂🤣
That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools
Tfw you come out and say you won't change the core policy directions of a government you want to replace
Find myself mentioning Tolkien from time to time on here and the point is not to say that he was a genius but to point out that if your ideas haven't progressed further than those of a conservative author of the mid-20thC who was born in the 19th then it might be worth looking at yourself
