Co zruinovalo můj spánkový režim v červnu:
Kromě nejvyvážanějšího poměru v zobrazení mužských a ženských genitálií v historii kinematografie se The Pitt daří být didaktický a zároveň pohlcující podívaná, jak argumentuje esej Can Art Teach?:
Certainly, “The Pitt” is topical, but it could also be seen as a sneaky piece of socialist realism (or perhaps center-left liberal realism) hiding in plain sight. It is a clear appeal for the way we ought to treat life in America, amid panic and collapse. It shows us doctors’ anxieties and overconfidences, their successes and mistakes. It is about the struggle to help life triumph over death, the responsibility to preserve our humanity against the dehumanizing failures of the body, and, above all, the collective effort required to do these things. It does not conceal its belief in the project of medicine, and it attempts to help us understand that project’s difficulties. It is entertainment, yes, but its ambitions give it an urgency that raises the stakes and, ultimately, makes it a more compelling show.
Pochopitelně výhoda rozsekaného spánkového režimu je, že toho člověk dost přečte. Ale těžko říct, jestli čtení dystopických románů mj. o tom, jak se logika fungování sociálních médií vkrádá do života, jako The Circle přispívá k lepšímu spánku.
“Listen, twenty years ago, it wasn’t so cool to have a calculator watch, right? And spending all day inside playing with your calculator watch sent a clear message that you weren’t doing so well socially. And judgments like ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ and ‘smiles’ and ‘frowns’ were limited to junior high. Someone would write a note and it would say, ‘Do you like unicorns and stickers?’ and you’d say, ‘Yeah, I like unicorns and stickers! Smile!’ That kind of thing. But now it’s not just junior high kids who do it, it’s everyone, and it seems to me sometimes I’ve entered some inverted zone, some mirror world where the dorkiest shit in the world is completely dominant. The world has dorkified itself.” (Eggers: The Circle)
