To amplify or not to amplify?

That is the question. NY Times op ed piece suggested that ignoring all the shenanigans actually promotes acceptance, ignoring.

I'm done with Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Cruz, MTG, Bobo, Gertz, Santos and Christofascist Mike Johnson. These people are beneath America. It's crazy when a Cheney, Chisty and Romney are the sane ones. They're worse than carnival barkers. Dante has the deepest level of hell for them. The strategy is to overwhelm the parent with bad behavior so some slips through. Never mind it's being in the child position as a leader. The body rots from the top, we need a better system for finding politicians besides who is the most grandiose and venial. The far right wing Christofascist are trying to sneak in behind the grifter wingbats. It's a void, and that's where revolutions come.

Not amplifying their grifts does make space for some of it to sneak by. But I don't have time to be the policeman of America, it's a crowd sourcing job.

It's an acceptable political philosophy to want less government. But blowing it up from the inside is unamerican to me. Look in the mirror those people who voted for Santos. 

And the American voters need to get their shit together and make real choices based on the options.

Musk destroyed Twitter because he didn't like the liberal voices taking down the grifts. He didn't love free speech, but people bought that bullshit easy. Musk believes in can call workers at 2am on a Monday morning. He wants society to be more like ones where stochastic violence works. Stop listening to what they say and watch what they are doing. Have a little discernment. Use that advanced animal brain to notice what is going on. I don't care if you have conservative instincts, use those too, we need people paying attention. Because what I'm seeing, America isn't paying attention with their big boy pants on.

Lots of people don't like Carter's malaise speech. They were just whining about gas prices. Look at what is going on people.

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

Introduction

Robert B. Palmer's introduction to his translation of Walter F. Otto's Dionysus: Myth and Cult (p. ix-xi) Gods of Hellas, gods of Hellas, Can ye listen in your silence? Can your mystic voices tell us Where ye hide? In floating islands,  With a wind that evermore Keeps you out of sight of shore?                                     Pan, Pan is dead. ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING The Dead Pan W H E N Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote these lines which sound so pessimistic and so limited to any lover of the beauty and truth of Greek mythology, she had in mind a famous passage out of Plutarch's De Oraculorum defectu {Mor. 419 A-E) in which it was reported on good authority that Pan had died. But let Plutarch tell the story (Philip is speaking):  As for death among such beings [i.e., deities], I have heard the words of a man who was not a fool nor an impostor. The father of...

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...
