Curse you Snyder-man!

Wait, is the “killer new idea” of swapping between worlds anything like Soul Reaver? Haven't we seen this in many games?

Dark Angel reboot would need to be heavy on the first season ideas, light on the second. I can’t handle that Halloween episode again.

I am calling him a goober.

Hah, I appreciate the sentiment, I’m also not trying to scream at you.(C’mon, Krom, ya gotta deescalate). Maybe trying to give context to that other work or his limited fame (although I think you’ve done a disservice by acting like only people within those institutions know who he is) isn’t all the useful here, I just…

I guarantee you that fewer people will take notice of his orbiting wet-nap than have contemplated Elon Musk’s Starman (as just one of many examples I could offer).

I don’t know, he made it to Colbert report for an early book, was asked by MIT to collaborate, and got the MacArthur’s attention: https://www.macfound.org/fellows/994/

I may be wrong about that but, I stand by the idea of putting art installations in space being stupid and useless.

Paglen’s work (pretty much all of it) has had the goal of offering an access point, not the definitive stance, on his topic of interest. I don’t think he’s trying to act as if his work is the only thing that will open people’s eyes, but I do think he’s offering a moment to people who otherwise aren’t devoted to…

“MAKE ALL MY FANFICS CANON” is all I am going to be able to see when I spot a MAGA hat. 

Late to this, been waiting until I caught up with the show, but I wanted to throw out something since there has been such blowback on this post.

I feel like their description of Luke as Obi-Wan sort of misses a major mark on what Obi-Wan was up to before getting sucked in to the rebellion - protecting Luke and keeping Leia’s existence deep under wraps. Even the fact that he held on to Anakin’s lightsaber sort of points to a longer game in mind.

So the easiest example I can think of is music, which is an expression of culture that is super easy to transmit between different groups. Music seems like something that anybody can experiment with or hear and replicate without harming anybody.

I would hope (and I know that this is often not the case) but I would hope that this kind of thinking allows for an “and” way of operating, not an “or”. Less shame, more honest conversation.

I mean, I get what your saying, and for sure these conversations turn in to staunch oppositions, but I am not saying that. But we teach kids the histories of how certain things got to them, so why not make that part of the experimentation process?

Sorry to be so longwinded, but my hope here is not be so polar, but to defend that it’s possible to enjoy things that come from groups than your own without evading its history. We who have access to so much info and so many ways of communicating these kinds of things should be comfortable discussing where ideas that…

Open-mindedness is definitely at stake, but pointing out this kind of power dynamic isn’t to shut down being open to influencing eachother. It’s a recognition that consent and attribution are paramount to the healthy circulation of ideas. We all learn more deeply and have an opportunity to enjoy things more if we…

Culture is a fluid sum of human endeavors, reproduced through its surface aesthetics. I agree that culture guides thought and value, but its a reciprocal relationship to the ways its manifested. I agree with you totally that no one attribute such as speech or clothing is culture in total, but they are social and…

Just because those things are constructs doesn’t mean the ways in which people have agency over them has no bearing. Speech is a great example. People create ways of communicating that signal shared understanding or shared interest. If that is taken up by another group, it can make it more difficult for people to…
