all the same, considering we'll more than likely never get a definitive answer, we should all bask in the real time production of a whole new generational nfl feud.

looking forward to our great grandchildren trying to figure out why the raiders and the ravens hate each other.

internet bickering around the crosby un-trade is underselling the angle where, whether his knee is jello or cold feet, 2 1sts one of which is the 14th are incredibly valuable, perhaps more so than any single player, and any transaction of that magnitude has the potential for failure at any point.

my point is, oz is a pantheon of contemporary archetype gods and we should give them their due.

the same can be said for the oscillating catholic narcissism of ryan oreilly, the sociopathic charisma of chris keller, the constant contradictions of said, mcmanus' weakness and freudian performativity, the pointless, drugged genius of adebisi, and the crit theory quotidian christ that is hill.

theres something incredibly resonant in its depiction of the sheer unrelenting cruelty of schillinger as a villain who is both entirely bad and no less complex for it. something we need right now is a recognition of the profound complexity of evil.

ive been watching oz lately and i think we could benefit from revisiting it on a broader cultural scale right now. if someone could drop it on netflix, that would help.

i keep putting off watching bugonia and honestly I know i might like it but something about remaking save the green planet just still feels like fundamentally wrong to me in a nebulous ethical way no matter who was involved.

Love that Pokemon commercial because it's absolutely correct about every single Pokemon being someone's favorite Pokemon
