Oh, I totally misread this. I read nude suit. Like skin colored onsies. Not rhinestone Nudie Suit.

My post shall remain.

Crazy that being a decent human being recognizing the the humanity of others no matter who they are is political courage today.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

At least the Goodwill looking at books. Gonna sneak this into Jing’s stack.

From the first trailer a few weeks ago I had two thoughts. The first was "Oh, look at this beautiful slop." The second is this scene from Zizek "The Pervert's Guide to Ideology" where he talks about They Live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVwK...

My god, my man, I’ve thinking about Zizek and this show. Catch up

Being aware and prepared.

But that's probably more self-pathological than anything.

I'll probably still watch it. But not in the theaters.

Besides the fact that there's a good chance this is an F You It's January Movie, this is just the B plot to The Fugitive.

They took the fugitive part out of The Fugitive and put in AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYW-...

I dated a Wiccan once a long time ago. Don't they tend to frown upon hexes?

Side story, she told me she did a spell so we would date which was... uh... something to find out after the fact. Didn't put to much stock in it though. Didn't last longer than 6 mos.

I'm doubtful he understand the tech of his own companies, hence this anti-christ nonsense. It's more likely a feint to sound like he knows what he's talking about when it's all just gobbledygook.

Ezra Howard @ezrahowru.bsky.social · 1d

It's also funny when people describe Theil as being a techbro. His undergrad was in Philosophy cause he was super into Ayn Rand. He then went to law school and raised a million from friends and family to be a venture capitalist.

Wayback Machine does have a pdf copy of the Silmarilian.

Skimmed a bit and it's still hard for me to follow who's who a lot of the time. But, tbf, I sill have to look at a wiki to keep the Dwarves in The Hobbit straight and I've read that like 4 or 5 times. ia802804.us.archive.org/5/items/TheS...

If you stop at the first book, yeah.

"Paul Atreides is the good guy!"

Well... there was that 61 billion genocide in Dune Messiah.

TBF, that's where I stopped. I think I read some portions of God Emperor cause the cover looked cool. But that was a long time ago.

Ezra Howard @ezrahowru.bsky.social · 1d

But maybe more like Saruman, thinks he's the smartest guy in the room but is ultimately one of the biggest dunderheads in Middle Earth.

That and JD Vance definitely strikes me as a Wormtongue.

I was running with his anti-christ theme, but I guess in that case Sauron is the anti-Christ and Morgoth is Satan.

Scatha is a fun one, especially since, like all dragons, surrounds himself with riches but also his den also stank.

Come to my 4 part lecture: The Cosmology and History of Arda and Why Peter Theil is Melkor (Or Morgoth, Black Foe of the World).

I'm going to go stand in the corner now.

Also, The Hobbit is something I'm reading to the kid.
