It's interesting how descriptions of art evolve. A lot of the stuff that was called "middlebrow" in 1975 and "mainstream" in 1998 is now referred to simply as "awesome." đŸ€”

International outcry as Iceland lifts ban on what could be last whale hunt

news.mongabay.com/2023/09/inte

The Icelandic government has announced that commercial whaling can resume after the activity was suspended for more than two months. In June, Svandís Svavarsdóttir, the country’s minister of food, agriculture and fisheries, postponed this year’s planned whale hunt until Aug. 31 due to animal welfare concerns. However, the government has now said in a statement that whaling will be able to recommence with increased monitoring and stricter regulations around hunting methods.

The

I remember people would often mention how Ridley Scott deliberately obscured the alien to make it scarier.

But this was done in Jaws, and Alien was pitched as 'Jaws in space.' So that feature wasn't really innovative. It was ripped off from Jaws -- which was innovative.

I think what was more innovative was the more casual delivery of dialogue. They talk over each other and it's got almost a documentary feel.

Sanders' disclaimer is notable:

--However, progressives still must “demand that the Democratic Party, not just Biden, have the guts to take on corporate greed and the massive levels of income and wealth inequality that we see today,” Sanders added.--

As long as Biden refuses to move on this issues, Democrats and the left will remain disunited.

If we can’t have a proper Martian archeologist, how about a Canadian critic of American pop culture?

Here’s his video about why video games aren’t really seen as culturally significant.

The “age of criticism” in Western thought began with Immanuel Kant, who made critique something universal and central to humanity. We still live within this paradigm today, but it turns out critique has both positive and negative forms. This article discusses Kant’s notions and the limits and uses of critique altogether.

A whole lotta shakin’ going on

an essay on shifts on the World Wide Web

At the end of the last millennium, people believed the first era of the web (aka WWW) was coming to an end and a new one was about to start. They named the new era web 2.0. The name didn't quite stick, but the ideas did. Full essay here:
