The Canonization of Patrick Bateman

by

In this movie scene, Bateman’s meticulous morning routine is not meant to inspire but rather depict his character as empty and materialistic. However, if you browse social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit, you’ll find numerous posts that mimic this routine, albeit with a focus on wellness instead of brutality. These men share their daily routines, sometimes even waking up before sunrise, to follow disciplined routines centered around health, grooming, and work. While the specific activities have changed over time, the essence remains the same. Bateman’s morning symbolized his superficial yuppie lifestyle, masking a violent personality. Yet, without its satirical context, it could be seen as an aesthetic portrayal of the grind-set culture. The only missing elements are advertisements for Bateman’s life coaching program and links to purchase his preferred products.

However, this isn’t meant to be discouraging; instead, it reflects the realistic, albeit enjoyable, nature of the entertainment industry. In essence, this means that aspiring independent game developers should focus on enjoying the creative process itself, regardless of whether it results in a blockbuster hit as they imagined.

You Won’t Believe What the Fed Didn’t Do—And Crypto Couldn’t Care Less 🤷‍♂️

On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve—never ones to disrupt the afternoon nap—announced it would maintain interest rates immovably between 4.25% and 4.5%. This non-development, much like the British weather or cucumber sandwiches at tea, astonished precisely no one. The CME FedWatch tool, recent darling of those who like their anxiety quantified, placed odds of action at a minuscule 1%. One suspects even Lady Bracknell would have struggled to muster enthusiasm.
