    there is of course an irony that an album full of meditations on the push-pull relationship of the artist and their art to success was beaten to the #1 spot by an artist peddling the 304th edition of their album for another week atop the charts with no self awareness.

    gender roles in 2024 look nothing like they did in 1024. why on earth would human brains be hard coded to like “toy trucks” vs “barbies” when our brains don’t even have especially specialised structures for reading and writing - phenomena developed over thousands of years?
