@coriander @Thomas here i assumed it WASN’T Chumbawamba because that would have been too easy

they did a rendition of “Bella Ciao” on one of their better albums

@aescling @coriander if there is a frustration in the act of making the movie it is in the fact that they aren’t able to do cool action sequences like they used to

@aescling @coriander the entire first half of the movie is a lesbian repeatedly saying “Neo’s saga changed my life and that is why i want to bring him back even though everybody thinks he is dead” and Neo saying “i can’t because capitalism told me it is just a video game and not real” and the lesbian saying “fuck that mind prison”

@aescling @coriander the final punchline of the movie is the protagonists looking the figure of capitalism in the face and saying thank you for giving us another chance to remake the world

@aescling @coriander i mean that is frustration but not with the act of creating the movie

@aescling @coriander i disagree that the movie is frustrated; i think the message of the film is that Neo went back into the Matrix for love, and it was the goal of capitalism to keep him close but just far enough from love to keep him working but not in a revolutionary manner

@coriander but yeah no joke reading this article in 2018 was when i officially crossed the lines into “yeah we gotta address this literacy thing” https://www.theroot.com/kanyes-politics-are-what-happens-when-you-dont-read-books

@coriander now we are at a point where people are claiming that tweets and powerpoint slides are objectively the best way to convey information and hmm no something has gone off here

@coriander in high school i was like illiteracy?? people are constantly online and texting each other!! people are reading more now than they ever have!!

and then kanye was like “i'm going to print out my tweets and sell them as a book” and i was like ah,

@wallhackio the questions were not very applicable to my life
