(…) I had this dream, this whole thought when I was making the project, about how we are computers, how our brains are CPUs. How we are uploading, we are downloading, we are processing, we are transmitting information back and forth. And some of us are told that the way we were created hold these bugs and these viruses, these things that make us unique. Whether it’s our sexuality, whether it’s because we’re black, whether it’s because we’re women, whether it’s because we’re poor. You know, I’m just naming a few of these marginalized groups, but some people say that those are bugs, those are viruses, and ‘Dirty Computer’ is saying, “No, those are our attributes, those are feautures. You know, this helps make the world better.”
How come period pieces are almost always dramas, anyway? I want to watch a sitcom about a dude in renaissance-era Tuscany trying to get rich quick by scamming the local merchant princes.
if u ever find a genie and you’re really craving a dessert that looks like this:

“I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but you would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this: 1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; 2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; 3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really. Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.”
if it happened at all, it happened like that
