Mandilorian


I liked the first season of Mandalorian and then I liked the first episode of the second season. When I see Amy Sedaris I hear Princess Caroline from Bojack Horseman. 

I'm watching the latest episodes. Like the rollout of The Boys, and now The Expanse, the episodes need catching up on once in a while.

Season 2 Episode 3 is the guy from Breaking Bad, telling Bosch (Titus Welliver) what to do, and Kara Trace has red hair and takes off her helmet, a non helmet strict Mandalorian. 

The aliens are getting better, following Fascape, and Star Trek Discovery. They have a fish guy, an ant guy and a frog person. 

I was 10 in 1977 when Star Wars came out. I'll have a weird desire to see all their stuff. Just like Star Trek seems to be spawning multiple shows, Star Wars is spawning lots of movies and shows. It's almost too much, but during the Great Quarantine of 2020 we need entertainment. 

I feel like they watched every Samurai movie and then noted new things to try for Mandalorian. The Jedi are Zen Samurai, and the Sith are without ethics, Machiavels. Instead of the bang bang of shot 'em out Westerns, they're pew pew pew space cowboys.

Gina Carano is allegedly a Trumpy nut, a transphobe, and an anti-masker. I still find her thickness attractive somehow.

I can't help but think of Carl Weathers in Arrested Development.

Rosario Dawson fired a trans helper at the family compound, but I don't think she's anti-trans. 

Wagner was anti-semitic, and Hemingway was a shit to his family and the people who helped him up. Humans have clay feet. Not excuses, but also I'd like to see the list of unacceptable things and see if I even agree with it.

I have spoken.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

Gravity's Rainbow Notes Franz Pokler

From pp 397-433: Franz Pokler , a German rocket scientist. He is marginally associated with early attempts to develop rockets in the 1920's. During the war, Weissmann controls Pokler, giving him routine assignments and keeping him in line by allowing him yearly visits from a girl who he says is Pokler's daughter. The girl spends the rest of the year in a concentration camp, and Weissmann's implied threat is that she will be killed if Pokler fails to cooperate with Weissmann's scheme. Weissmann's purpose is to use Pokler to make one small part for the A4 rocket. In the end, having performed his task, Pokler is released; Slothrop meets him living quietly in the ruins of a children's village after the end of the war. His daughter also survives. Wiki notes on the Franz Pokler section 397-433 Abstract of "Franz Pökler's Anti-Story: Narrative and Self in Gravity's Rainbow" by Robert L. McLaughlin.
