- Comment on Don't call it a Substack 4 weeks ago:
Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators’ work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable.
Yeah. That’s not the truth of the matter. That’s someone disagreeing with some content they publish and deciding to cancel them. Medium does the same shit. You pay them. Write whatever drivel you want. They host and publish it. They’re making money. You get a platform. Substack is a business. Businesses exist to profit. There are plenty of credible publishers on Substack, but someone read something distasteful on the fringe, and got a hate boner and decided to label them “extremeists”. Same shit we see every day.
- Comment on FX Miniseries ‘Shōgun’ Is the Most Transportive TV Epic Since ‘Game of Thrones’: TV Review 9 months ago:
I just finished episode 2. It’s absolutely great. The original miniseries still holds up even today, but this new imagining is really damn good. A bit more brutal than the original. A lot more beautiful. Now I have to wait week to week for the next four episodes. I love Hiroyuki Sanada every time I see him in a movie. I’ve seen a couple things that Cosmo Jarvis has been in but honestly I don’t remember him from them. I do love his raspy, gravely voice as the Anjin/Blackthorn. I cannot wait for the next episode.
