Humpty Dumpty world.

The true legacy of the Soviet Union is authoritarianism not socialism.

Talibangelicals, Covidiots and Spreadnecks like authoritarianism, support the "legitimate discourse" that killed 5 people, and would rather get their way than live in a democracy. The like liberalism where everyone has the right to... but only those they like. Like the Supreme Court Justice who refused to follow rules and wear a mask, things are all cattywampus. 

Tucker Carlson enjoys influencing people but successfully argued in court that he is not real news and merely engages in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' His argument states no reasonable person would take him seriously.

Russia has been fighting a war on information for quite a while to go on top of the literal murder they are doing in Ukraine right now. The Americans who support the freedom to murder by Russians in Ukraine fit right in with the murder cult. 

With globalization scrapped in favor of a alliances new order, we continue to not raise above our limited human views.

Meanwhile insurrectionist are still not held accountable for fear that it might seem partisand to the "non-literal" lying community.

Book banning strikes me as a perfect backfire strategy to get kids to read.

The whole project of lying and manipulating is that the right has given up debating because they lose so easily and playing head games is the only way for them to "share their opinion". The goal is to get you to avert you attention so they can continue to get away with everything.

The bipartisanship is about dividing Americans, it's unpatriotic and it's about superficial power and appearances. Look how unified the Ukrainians are. The GOP has chosen party over county and like all their other utterances, denial is confirmation. They're a red herring party, the party of obstruction and distraction. Like MTV don't play music any more, the party of Lincoln doesn't support or protect African Americans or anything else they stupidly claim, like Biden controls the gas prices or whether there is war in other countries. Their syllogisms are all wrong.

I wish we had 2 intelligent parties, the Republicans are not pushing the Democrats enough, giving them a real push to be better. They set the bar so low.

There's going to be a reckoning soon.

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

Silo

This is a dark show that I'm reluctant to watch. Slow burn with reveals along the way. Lots of padding and important small details you have to pay attention to, which sometimes I don't because I'm looking at my phone. The TV competes with the phone. Either I'm playing chess, or another game, or surfing for news about my favorite soccer team NYCFC. They're supposed to sign some new players and can register them tomorrow, but the team usually doesn't do things in a timely way, they're messy.  The first few episodes of the 10 episode first season are about the sherif and his wife, played by Rashid Jones .  Then there's like a buffer action episode where the generator almost goes kaput. Then it becomes Longmire, a woman sheriff who doesn't know the protocols and rules, and doesn't care, she just wants truth and answers.  Everyone lives in the Silo, it's huge and mysterious and you can't have relics, things from the past, that might clue you i...

movie versus book

I'm watching the movie a second time, and I'm halfway through the book. Among the movie's differences from the book. Sortilege starts off narrating. The movie doesn't have the school bell for the phone either, just a regular ring. It's really weird the way Doc shouts when he sees the photo of Amethyst as a baby. I guess it's to dramatize the negative impact of being pregnant and using, but the child we see looks pretty healthy. The child doesn't huff out because they're boring like she did in the book.  Superficially The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice are similar but it's a completely different style of narrative. The Coen brothers are amazing, they have a very witty movie that I have loved for a long time. Pynchon is a whole other realm of fiction, and this conversion is fairly faithful, taking out the best lines and making it more compact. The audio book is 15 hours, the movie is 2 hours. Anyway, I like the different movies for different reasons. T...
