Horror movies are always about the something else. Night of the Living Dead is /really/ about racial anxiety. Nosferatu? Uncontrollable lusts.

#A24 's X is about boomers devouring their children.

It is Hilarious to me that after cats get to a certain age they rarely communicate with other cats through meowing. Cats are very good non-verbal communicators. They meow at us, because we are too dumb to understand, and they are baby talking to us.

There are parallels between super foods, trendy ethnic foods and the wellness industry:

“It is no accident that (sexy trendy super foods) are usually from the Global South. Where, may not matter. The idea that the food should be from somewhere that is ‘elsewhere’, an elsewhere that is somehow ‘less’ and therefore exploitable is crucial”

The show also says it’s a new form of Orientalist spice trade, but you don’t even know where it comes from anymore

People shit on the Tenderloin (and in the Tenderloin, lol) but I would also describe it as the hub of Vietnamese and Khmer Chinese people. You can see it from the pho restaurants here in little Saigon, but here’s a view of some of the quieter everyday things in the private lives of people here (my neighbors have their offerings out for the ancestors for Qing Ming)
