The most fuckin anodyne, prosaic shit is going to get labeled “pornography.”

It’s not gonna just be porn as you understand it. We already know they think the very mention of queerness counts as porn, but it’s not going to stop there. Anything they view as potentially causing thoughts that go against the Bible and God is, in their view, pornography.

When discussing how evangelicals want to ban pornography it should be remembered that Kirk Cameron harassed producers of Growing Pains into quitting the show by accusing them of being pornographers for wanting to put more adult themes in the show. Their definition of pornography is wide.

Part “no one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans” and part anti-woke brain rot. There’s a vocal contingent who think the existence of Osha and Mae means Star Wars is ruined, on top of Yord being perceived as queer because the actor is gay. Lots of hate for female showrunner too. Nonsense, really.

An unsung moment in cinematic history is when The X-Files showed this shot of a Dallas suburb in the desert, with the Dallas skyline lurking in the background. The cackles in the Dallas theater, lemme tell you.

The conversation there was wild. You’re right though. American entitlement is crazy. The colonial “we deserve it” mentality still goes deep and hard.

I honestly and truly believe leftist candidates would win offices in Texas up and down the ballot if they ran ads of them doing donuts in Ford F250, shooting rifles wearing sunglasses, and saying shit like “kick DC’s ass Texas style” without even getting into policy positions.

This shit is so much bigger than us right now. Apathy and despair are weapons used against us. Apathetic and hopeless is how they want us. That ensures they win. Fuck em. Hope is punk. Joy is resistance. Despair is defeat.

Hope is attacked because without hope there can be no change. They want you hopeless. They want you despairing. A despairing populace does not stand up. A hopeless populace does not pushback. Let your anger fuel your hope. Rage for a brighter dawn. Don’t cede your joy. Joy is hope. Hope is movement.

Sicario is well acted and directed but kinda felt undercooked to me. Not in a way I can pinpoint, exactly, but left thinking “okay, and?” I can’t remember anything about Day of the Soldado.

Chop an onion, cook it in the ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder, brown the turkey, add the soy chorizo, mix it in well, finish cooking, eat tacos, cry because you’re out of tacos.
