“Sixty four years ago in October 1959, The Twilight Zone premiered. As my dad said: "The writer’s role is to menace the public’s conscience. He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus on the issues of his time."

AS I KNEW HIM: My Dad Rod Serling”

- Anne Serling

I have been incarnated into this civilization and am therefore a part of it and as such I will continue to mock & make fun of EVERYTHING about it that I find ridiculous as much as I want to

For as long as I want to

every so often im struck by the memory of one of my college professors getting very angry with our class (art history of pompeii 250) because when she excitedly detailed the ingenious roman invention of heated floors in bathhouses via hearths in small crawlspaces, we asked who was tending the fires. she said "oh, slaves i suppose. but that isnt the point". and we said that it actually very much was the point. she had just told us that in roman society there were dozens of people, maybe hundreds, who spent every day of their enslaved lives crawling in cramped, hot, smoky tunnels to light fires to warm pools of water (which they were not allowed to swim in). how could that not be the point?

she wanted us to focus on the art, on the innovation of heated plumbing, on the tiles and decorations of the bathhouses, and all we wanted to do was learn more about the people under the floors. and she didn't know anything more about that. in fact, she said she thought we were focusing too much on superfluous details.

it feels almost hokey to put too fine a point on the idea im getting at here but i will anyway: There are a lot of people who are still under the floors. all these beautiful, convenient, brilliant innovations of modern society (think fast fashion, chatgpt, uber, doordash) are still powered by people working in inhumane, untenable conditions.

the people who run these systems want you to focus on the good - who doesnt love warm water? - but if anything is going to improve or change in our lifetimes, you need to examine these things with an attentive, critical, and empathetic eye. and for fucks sake stop ordering from amazon

So I’m watching US news otherwise I wouldn’t know any of this (as if I ever gave a flying feck about sports) but r u srsly gonna tell me that these mnfrs had two players named ZVEREV (beastly, of the beast) and SINNER (well, no translation needed here) and then- a fan gets escorted out for disturbing the game by ‘allegedly yelling the most famous Hi+ler phrase’ 🤡 I’m not even gonna look into the clownworld nUmErOLoGy regarding the game’s score and the timing of the ‘remark’. Whoever is in charge of the global reality tv show going on rn, giving these smoothbrained ‘cues’ as a distraction from the collapse of The System is definitely more stupid than the average idiot who thinks it’s all spontaneous. Our society is a joke run by the nonagenarian sheltered oligarchs suffering from elderly psychosis (paired with consequences of lifetime complete detachment from reality) that are larping a combo of Crowley and bad episodes of Star Trek. The apocalypse isn’t even as funny as I expected it to be. It’s just dull and irritating
