the fans say why do you write about barbieheimer if you haven't seen the movie. because it's in the air. hype is the word. hype sells and is quickly consumed and forgotten, but the bombs and the plastic seas remain. hype sells movies, plastic toys and bombs, yet, as with the bomb, anything we can imagine can happen. let's say the patriarchy and the empire will end someday. though we'll still have the seas of nuclear and plastic waste. barbieheimer is the genie of the anthropocene. someday we might have the freedom we imagine, in a wasted land. someday the land will come back to us, though we may be vaporized.
