Funny and depressing and confusing. Nice image/narration/music convergence. Perfect choice for the female computer voice.
I want to read the essay. If it’s anything like this, seems to me it could bear a longer, more complete & complex version.

Send me your address and I’ll send you a copy. It’s not much longer than this, but is slightly more misogynistic. It was the only article written by a male author in an issue of Life dedicated to the American Woman back in the 40s.

I find this video to be profound. But I can’t figure out why.

i just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching movies made more than 4 months ago - and then leaving a comment like this. the american male… what about something about western society? “our values”, and how the Hordes threaten it. maybe a movie about olde Europe as someone from Nigeria writes about Europe. A zoo.
