Basically the worst thing about genre/creative capitalism of any kid is humans really love to enjoy one formalism and think that every single other formalism is bad because it's not like their favored formalism, with no consideration for why they differ, or the value in the differences.

striking that wurman is basically unable to grapple with the real world and turns instead to a shallow formalism that leads him to positions such as "interpretation of congressional statutes in furtherance of rights is exactly the same executive orders meant to strip rights away."
Congratulations to the University of Minnesota. You have a real star on your faculty.

pitching my comic idea to DC: aquaman's new archnemesis is called Man Ray. no, not a half human half manta ray monster. Man Ray, the surrealist painter and photographer. he just challenges aquaman's preconceptions about formalism

like every game should have easy onboarding and a smooth ramp; like ok that's definitely a formalism that has advantages, but can you think of any disadvantages? should it actually apply to every experience? how does it map to other aspects of the larger design formalism it's a part of?

Every creative should experience the eloquent assault on formalism that is Space Funeral. You might be surprised to hear that such a historical game is free, and only takes about an hour to complete.

But that's what this court excels at: removing substantive rights cloaked in legal formalism. Roberts will go down with Tawney and Fuller as one of the worst chief justices in history.

They also think it means we think language and formalism are useless. Very silly people who show their hatred of academics, especially women, every time they post.

started 'Backrooms' immediately following 'Kwaidan' and that was a mistake
I'm sure it's fine, and I'll get back to it, but the transition from perfectly realized, restrained formalism to the sweaty desperation of contemporary cinema to hook the audience from the first frame was too jarring

at some point hamantashen formalism discourse is going to cause sandwich formalism discourse to cross over into a deep but previously untapped pool of formalism discourse experts and I’m kind of looking forward to it

The key point is that formalism is dead. It used to be that if you went through bicameralism and presentment, you had a law, and that meant enforceability regardless of party control. If you ignored it, it was a scandal, and you needed a theory. Tell that to the TikTok ban. (2/7)

This is the Libs of Tiktok problem that Yoel Roth wrote about and the problem of legal formalism in content moderation.

so while there are specific reasons for targeting this group, this is also a consequence of building a machine of mass repression and censorship *and* an internal political atmosphere that demands 'action' by officials lest they be accused of 'formalism'
"Across China, authorities have been interrogating dozens of writers -- many of them young women -- who published gay erotic novels online, in what appears to be the largest police roundup of its kind to date."
