Hey Substackers! So what's going on here is that I was ATTEMPTING to make a very short video for the internet, but because I'm verbose that turned into over 10 minutes so it belongs here instead! My wife has never seen The Matrix, and I get to show it to her tonight… that’s how this whole rant started, but because of who I am… it went many other places 🤣
I love how you nail the MAGA wing nuts and their never ending Matrix-like conspiracy theories. You got it right. I just hope that MAGA Matrix Maniacs don't win in November.
Chud comes from an 80s movie and stands for "cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller", however I had also heard it was short for "banchode" which I much prefer as an explanation. And y'all might have heard it from Tushar. Its the Hindi word for redneck (literal translation - "sister-fucker").
You know the best thing about The Matrix? I mean, the VERY BEST THING? That they just made that one amazing movie and then left it alone. Amazing. Man, I still remember that last shot of Neo hanging up the phone and then flying out of the frame…God, it’s stuck with me for twenty-five years now. Can you imagine if they had made a few over-wrought, self-important sequels that were ultimately just a cash grab AND an all-time example of the concept of diminishing returns? Can you really imagine how thoroughly that might have tainted the legacy of such an amazing, damn near perfect movie? Shoooo-weee! I’m glad we dodged THAT bullet.

I think Keano is part Asian, if I’m remembering correctly.
