h/t @bms48
@ophiocephalic @bms48 Is that the guy who added crappy computer-generated imagery to one of the most beloved movies of all times, distracting from the original artistry and pissing off generations of dedicated fans?
@joelvanderwerf
Now that you mention it, why yes
@ophiocephalic @bms48 Let's hope the next generation votes it out at the same time they vote him out of a house.
@ophiocephalic @bms48 someone should make a movie about resisting that power. Some kind of low tech but successful resistance against a powerful but hubristic foe.
@otfrom @ophiocephalic Well, there's been a book: The Practice of Everyday Life by Michel de Certeau in 2013. University of California Press. Those who think they're on top employ "strategies" which are endlessly defeated at the bottom by "tactics".
@otfrom
Now there's an idea. Say George...
@ophiocephalic @bms48 I'd call him a sellout, but that's nothing new.
@ophiocephalic @trendless @bms48 Slopdaddy, an excellent new word to describe this very disappointing phenomenon 👍 Thank you, I will use it.
