JFC NY Times, you’re just noticing his decline now?. It’s been self-evident for years.

As an added amusement, the book “The Selfish Gene” came out in 1976, and is the source of the word “meme,” used somewhat differently than it is now, naturally.

This really rises to one of 2023’s oddest stories. I mean, I don’t even have a square for “Indian-Canadian Cold War” on my 2023 bingo card.

See 1974’s Phase IV for another take on ants as the story’s antagonist. It’s notable for being graphic designer Saul Bass’s only directing credit, as well as that general 1970s slow-paced creepiness that is as much atmosphere as story.

Making matters worse, Aldean was ON STAGE during the Las Vegas mass shooting, perpetrated by yet another white guy suffering from a fragile male ego.

It’s beyond insulting.
