I can't bear to think about the Basic Finns horribleness today, although it would be a good time to freak out. That man is so evil, and to top it off, also smart. A horrible, dangerous combination. I fear for this country's future.
Instead, I wonder if there's somewhere an essay dissecting Gudetama dance in the light of Japan's current generation's feelings of lack of direction and meaning. The continuous absurdity and relatable feelings of embarrassment... I can't put it to words yet, but the series is popular not just because it's "funny". Going through the motions even if they don't make sense, and are harmful to inner sense of dignity, and still trying to do that properly, because the other option is impossible to imagine. Maybe, something like that.
Also, reading Gibson's Zero History, and making dog's ears on pages he writes something interesting about fabrics, or fashion, and that is like every other page. Why haven't I realised before there's a whole Gibson book about fashion!?!
