Sometimes I think about the most recent Conan film and how the combined power of Momoa and Perlman couldn’t save it. Maybe if they’d had them on screen together. Maybe if the writers knew the difference between steel & cast iron.

I admire somewhat how many unpaid American volunteers are sowing despair on behalf of the Russians. It’s like the Cold War only crowdsourced. Very cost-effective.

The fact that Biden has delivered on left-wing policy far better than any president in generations but is widely despised by left-wing voters reflects more poorly on left-wing institutions and voters than on Biden. This is not a movement showing political maturity, and I say that as a left-winger

Nothing says that the machine you rage against has to be complicated. Do you want to rage against the inclined plane? Go ahead. Nothing can stop you.

Sometimes I wonder if the Greeks sat around and argued about canon in the myths the way we argue about canon in Marvel or Star Wars.

You slay the dragon. Then the village is on fire. Then there's five armies slugging it out all around you. And then later a bunch of spooky invisible guys on horseback are hunting for your nephew and a ring.

Sometimes I think about how Achilles’ followers were called ‘myrmidons’ and ‘myrmidon’ means ‘ant’ so Achilles was a predecessor of Adam and the Ants.

Thinking a bit about the strangers who keep popping up online during Pride month to say things like, "It wouldn't be a big deal if they'd stop putting this in my face." Like, "You may exist just don't let me know." is only a marginal improvement over "You may not exist and I will hunt you down."

Thinking a bit about "cops at Pride." It's partly a question of whether we assimilate into the State as it is or continue to try to change & reform the State. Some folks are apparently content with the current mechanisms of oppression as long as they're not directly aimed their way. #nocopsatpride

First, I am profoundly annoyed on your behalf. Second, some of the following may be useful: "Yeah, I decided to go with the default setting." "I had it ironed out. It was getting too wrinkly." "It's amazing what modern technology can do." "I'm still waiting for it to be delivered."

I am going to presume that the vivid reds of King Charles' first official portrait are meant to evoke the colonial massacres perpetrated by the House of Mountbatten, from which the king descends.

My wife’s grandmother is 102. Well into her 90’s she was still taking walks alone at 4:00 am every morning and carrying a two-foot length of rebar in case a mofo tried. Roundabout 95, when the rebar got “too heavy,” she switched to carrying a meat hammer. Anyway. Happy Mother’s Day weekend.

The current model requires a permanent non-normative other who is perpetually unable to integrate or assimilate, no matter the amount of effort or time put forward. (2/2). Also, I'm still not sure how to do threaded posts.

It seems to me that this reaction against DEI is driven not only by the incumbent governing class, but also by folks who hope to join the incumbent governing class under the current model of integration and assimilation. This ignores the fac that the current model (1/2)
