Last Notes npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb You know what what bugs me about this? npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I wonder if Tony Gilroy is keeping his politics under wraps so they keep letting him play with the toys. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I think this is a really good track to go down. Like you said, not to turn them into allies, but just to undermine the enemy. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb And it's got Flex Mentallo. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb One caveat: it is going as planned. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I think a lot about how we were taught in school that Rosa Parks was "just tired, on her way home from work," rather than part of an organized and sustained movement. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Learning a bit about what happens to an IEP when a kid doesn't come to school anymore because ICE had been prowling his neighborhood daily for a month. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I was hoping to see a positive update about this soon, but it is probably more realistic to expect any change to be in slow motion. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb A former friend of mine with DID had an alter named "Red." Guess what they were all about? npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb You did free labor to help what I said reach more people? npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb "What, you want to ban duct tape and zip ties now, because of what someone might do with them?" npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb In the early 00s, I caught this quote in the Christian Science Monitor bemoaning that "we have raised a generation of Christians who know nothing about their religion except how they feel about it." npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb One problem with military intervention: unpredictable shit happens when you start blowing stuff up, and before you know it, you have shown yourself to be far weaker than everyone thought. I'm thinking a lot about the F-117 America lost in the Balkans, and Argentina's blunder in the Falklands, and the USS Cole. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I think so. I definitely don't regret what I spent on mine. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I really lean into performative spoiler guarding in just one situation: to get people to shut up about Harry Potter. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I know it's more complicated and stuff, but it's not hard to imagine, every time a protestant youth minister gets busted for the usual, a Jesuit somewhere sneers, "amateurs." npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool." npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Tarantino hasn't been kind to the people who have done some of his other screenplays (Natural Born Killers, True Romance). And Fincher is resentful of interference. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb David Fincher is doing a sequel to Hollywood that Tarantino wrote, apparently. I'm sick about it. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb This was me the other night trying to explain Marx's end of history by way of Star Trek TNG. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb No one: npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb It reminds me a *lot* of the final season of Game of Thrones, where everyone involved seemed over it and were just hurrying to finish it off and cash their checks. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb So, like, Maya Hawke has a monologue about accepting being gay and ... does this scene strike anyone else as being slightly off somehow? npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb By circling back, she'd seem to be realizing that the way she's handled things so far might be hurting her career. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb So weird watching such a lauded director slowly shrink and turn into a corn cob. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I am a little fixated on WB's efforts to launch a Stephen King Cinematic Universe. This Welcome to Derry show is pivoting off IT and looping in a bunch of other books' characters and locations and just... npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Finn Wolfhard(?) being 30 or whatever and playing a teen just kinda fits the 80s throwback vibe. But that with Holly... Very weird. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I'm trying hard not to think anything too horrible about her, cuz hating on femme celebrities is usually pretty misogynistic. But ... Yeah, pretty much. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb The conclusion of it was the most cathartic moment I may have had in a new movie this year. I think I felt the same things you were, and it just tipped a different way for me. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Really solid point, but okay, this is off the top of my head, so sorry that it's half baked ... npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Maybe this is all going to end up as Warhammer 40k, with the zombie god emperor locked in his golden throne. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb ...and Trump will be dead within six months, from whatever it is they keep imaging with an MRI, leaving behind a bunch of flunkies who may or may not end up in jail. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I keep thinking about the "signing statement" idea that Bush 43 introduced. Where he signs a bill but says "obviously I'm not going to do the stuff that intrudes on my Article II rights as president." npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Relevant to my interests. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb To be clear, I'd cheer if the guy had thrown a brick and the jury nullified it. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb The sandwich guy verdict is *not* jury nullification. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Maybe it's that I don't drink anymore so I never do the "have a beer with" thought experiment but holy shit omg no, this dude is scary. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I'm not trying to defend the guy, exactly. And white guys don't need anyone making excuses for them. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I do get that, but, is there anything other than the tattoo? npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Can anyone point me to what Graham Platner said that was objectionable? When I actually started digging into quotes, I didn't see a crypto-fascist. Also, he *did* cover the tattoo, so... npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Whoa. I'd never heard that before, but it seems so obvious. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I think "Empire or nothing" was basically Thomas Hobbes's argument. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I've been keeping this quote handy for like a decade, mostly because of being a masculine-passing person active in feminist spaces: npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Fair, and I'll go further... npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I'm glad I watched that conversation between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates about Charlie Kirk. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Something that plays off the construction of the term "suburban". npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb This train of thought is bracing for me for two reasons: npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb No coincidence that there was that Irish character in the middle of Sinners. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I feel like every time I actually engage a Republican, the conversation kinda dissolves when I push back on whatever persecution fantasy they picked up who knows where. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Really a fun watch, too. Kinda a low key masterpiece. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I was just wading in to the comments to figure out a way to tactfully say "Common Side Effects?" npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Pan's Labyrinth is incredible, but it's a hard watch with all the fascist stuff. And especially with all the developmentally inappropriate shit that little girl has to deal with. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I used that Orwellian nightmare phrase, "the paycheck to paycheck phenomenon" thinking about a particular co-worker of mine. She owned a house in Marin (with mortgage), was sending her daughter to Berkeley including campus housing without student loans, and yet I've never met a person with a more frantic energy of economic insecurity. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Not something I advertise, but my family have owned their house in California since before WWII, which means we have access to a level of security that most people just don't. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb It's especially hard because, it seems to me, the "living paycheck to paycheck" phenomenon is pretty much everyone all the way up into low six-figure household incomes. Whatever your standard of living, they've dialed it into so you have nothing. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb You are 100% correct. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Eh, or just asshole enough to do a shitty thing in exchange for a huge payday. Which is kinda the level of stranger danger I've always gotten from him: basically decent, but inclined to look the other way if the bad thing doesn't impact him directly. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I like Bill Burr, but he triggers my "this is an angry, cis white dude" danger sense. So, not a huge surprise, even if a little disappointing. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Bongino and probably Patel too are going to use this as an excuse to quit a job they didn't know would be 12 hour days minimum. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I'm not where you are, but I got to experience this during the Santa Rosa fires in the North Bay a few years ago. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Is that the cover? Amazing promo art. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb I was just pointing out that "stealing" a word (literally taking ownership even though your figurative use is obvious), instead of just noting that it isn't yours, in a racialized context might come off more oafish than whimsical, but you do you. npub15n5kgg60ddq80adyx9zalxm4rqgp667vrm92arcvq5dl28d6e69s0nc5cu humanadverb Yeah, it's a pretty well-used word in more intersectional circles, and saying "steal" hits the wrong note.
