The weapons must flow.
This is how dems deal with the weapons and money needing to flow - hand wringing, feeling bad about it, but ultimately doing nothing to stop it
GOP say it’s cool and good and fuck you for asking.

The posts so nice we post it thrice
Oh shit didn’t realize we had blue pills here, yes yes the matrix was just a movie and dorpheus was just a prank in the office
On the one hand, the worst thing that can happen to someone is that they get everything they ever wanted
On the other hand, the matrix taught us that even the Paradise simulation couldn’t work because the human mind would rebel.
Instead, allow me to present the Samsara Midnight Realm Cube. They get roughly the median life in america with all the attendant miseries and temporary happiness that implies, BUT it’s just slightly degraded and worse. Like the movie Wristcutters.
Could’ve easily borrowed Ruritania, same energy
Kerry posting was a weird bit made weirder by being sustained, made me chuckle once then feel annoyed then eventually made me laugh one more time then back to being annoyed
I watched the last tree house of horror, haven’t seen one in I think a decade. Her voice is just kind of sad now
Alejandro Jodorvsky originally picked Dali as his Emperor - who also had a very halting vocal affect. I bet Denis Villneuve was a little inspired by that lol
Maybe, but Harry really getting his shit together is a looooong slog. He has a nice convenient thought for temporarily compressing his shit, but unraveling all that damage would be a task
Also, Harry is still so wound up and wounded about… whatever happened with his ex Dora. I’m not really sure if he’ll ever be able to love again.
I don’t get it I only see the forest, you’re saying there’s 2 people here?? Where???
Yeah until it’s just a scrawl of unreadable text
Writing on top of the writing already on the page, right?? Instead if copying it somewhere else
Lady Gaga
I bear no resemblance. I can’t sing. I just think she’s neat.
Now, you might think this is ludacris
But Taio Cruz tell em how it is
Damn it I was trying to sneak in here and say that fuck

I can’t remember who was talking and speculating about this, but China had been through a number of centralizing than fracturing periods then centralizing again and repeat (“the Empire long united, must divide. Long divided, must unite”) for whatever reason.
When periods of unification happened, an outside force or theory of government would come and unite all of China (whatever “all” meant for that period). The Yuan dynasty from Mongolia, the Han dynasty bringing about confuscianisn on a grand governmental scale, etc. And when it came time for to divide after disunity and corruption of the Qing in the mid 19th century, it probably would’ve been under the Heavenly Kingdom syncretized Christianity - except for the intervention of now world bestriding imperial European great powers, which had a vested interest in maintaining the Qing and later the Republic.
In the end, it was still an outside force that put an end to banditry, disunity, etc. Or another fracturing period. It was marxism and Maoism, and it was the establishment of the PRC (notwithstanding the ROC in Taiwan).
I watched it totally alone on Saturday night, never been in a theater alone! I’ve heard there were a lot of walk outs - which I don’t get, theres no accounting for taste of course, but I didn’t think it was leave early bad.
I loved the spectacle and the aesthetic and the fashion, the characters were sorta eh - this is a story where the characters aren’t grounded in realism but are supposed to be stand ins for ideas or movements. Aubrey Plaza was great in it, I actually kinda liked Shia LaBeouf as well. Adam Driver was so-so, but I think that was down to directing. Music choices were odd but I kinda dug it.
I really had a hard time following the plot. Lots of things happened and were resolved in the next scene - felt like about an hour was cut haphazardly. I didn’t have a theatre were an actor was hired to interview Cesar Catalina (Adam Driver) breaking the 4th walll butterfly aspect ratio and frame changed enough to keep some semblance of the effect.
spoiler
Cesar can control time, which is interesting but I think is basically just a literalization of him being an Artist able to freeze time (it’s said as much in the movie), not a gaudy super power
Kind of a bizarre trip, glad Coppola got to make his Moby Dick of a movie. It’s way funnier than I was expecting something as pretentious as I figured it’d be - reminded me of Shakespeare style blending of High Art and Low Art, a comparison I’m sure Coppola would love. I bet I’ll watch this again on streaming or Blu Ray or something years later and see a bunch of stuff that didn’t make sense the first go.
