"I still don't understand the play" "Doesn't matter, just keep telling the story" so meta and the most direct shot at the audience. You don't necessarily need to "get" everything that's happening, it's ok to to just keep going until it makes sense and maybe it never does

I really loved this video essay on Asteroid City that does a good job of breaking down Wes Anderson barrelling towards a sort of post modernist version of himself. AC inverting on itself so many times that it basically becomes an abstract of an abstract

My best friend and I understand the movie in the same way but in different directions. It's about grief. I think there really was a play, and the actor repeats it over and over to try to connect with the author, his lover who died before the play was finished (1/2)

people always focus on the scene after this which is indeed beautiful but his "am I doing him right?" shot right through me, I had tears streaming down my face during this bit

I feel it's more pointed towards 'the truth and meaning of it is in the emotions you feel, not in the logic applied to it', or at least I read it at least partially that way. Art is about feeling, and if it makes you think then great, but the moment is what counts imo

[and] he's going to start slashing social safety nets..." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from a discussion with Todd Sachs (Todd Sachs) posted to YouTube on January 24, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "The administration is looking for ways of managing a collapse of the dollar and they're going to— It's like a body in trauma. You pull blood from the toes and you take it to the heart and lungs. So he's looking to double the military budget because he needs force to make sure that they have self sufficiency and resources that they don't have now. He's trying to get that. "So I think that's why he's doing it. And then he's cutting anything that he doesn't need to keep his mega-donor base and he doesn't need to get the resources he needs. So he's going to start slashing social safety nets. So if you look at the slashing of assistance to he did it to five Democratic states that's looking like it's political, in one sense it is, but I think he's slashing because he's trying to manage the collapse. "So and he's going to keep, that's going to keep happening one way or the other. Now here's what I think it's really. And anybody listening to this who's dependent on federal money, you need to know whether it's the purchasing power of that federal money gets cut by inflation or something happens that it just gets cut or held up or whatever. Government money is going to get— Federal government money is get more, more and more problematic as we continue into this change. "And if you look at all the problems we had on money disappearing from the federal budget, we've known that the federal government is operating way outside the financial management laws, breaking the law, huge amounts of money going missing. I call it a financial coup, but now the chickens are coming home to roost and you're going to start feeling it. They don't need to buy off the population by throwing money at them. Now they're going to start cutting."
