Digger reminds me a lot of "Under the Silver Lake." Tempting to believe that it's Hollywood coming clean, when really it's just putting one more meta plank in its own edifice. (None of which is to say it isn't a great movie.)

As a 43 y/o who witnessed both, the entry-level job market is *far* worse in the 2020s than it was in the GFC. With the GFC there were at most 2 really bad years before the stimulus rebooted things. With the 2020s we're on year 5 of the Fed choking the life out of the labor mkt.
Feels like I see bangers with 20K+ likes from noided mutuals way more often these days. Unfortunately just gives me the sense that everything happening on here is now so thoroughly inconsequential they don't even need to hide us in the corner like they did back in the COVID days.
