This reminds me of something I posted on a previous social media account.

“You’ve Got Mail”: a romantic comedy about a little bookstore being overrun by a huge bookstore/DVD store

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a dark comedy about a huge bookstore/DVD store being overrun by an online mail-order megastore.

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got “You’ve Got Mail”’”: a tragedy about an online mail-order megastore being supplanted by streaming services.

“No One’s Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a farce about how all movies have become unavailable because companies withhold them for the tax write-offs. ← YOU ARE HERE

“You’ve Got Mail-full-1080p.mkv”: a documentary about the valuable role that pirates are performing as librarians and archivists.

@futzle i found a video club operating in a store, in broad daylight, with a huge catalog and a guy that knows even the name of the people dubbing kids movies. I'm happy!

@futzle This post achieves such information density that it exceeds the information density of poetry and wraps back around to another form of prose.
