Lot of MAGA people on the internet today pretending real hard that they liked that boring ass TP USA show. The thing about hate is that it is a killer of joy.

I'm very much so enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The acting is great and the world building is fun. I do think the 30 minute episodes are hurting it though.

I just learned Dan McClellan is a Mormon which really drives home my theory that you can never immediately trust a white man on the internet

Complete and utter social shunning to those who support this regime and complete and utter punishment for those that are in this regime are the only ways to move forward and not be here again in a generation
Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...
Hating the Game
The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

People remembering mike tyson as the ear-biter, or the face tattoo guy, or the guy who was in that movie, is rape culture.
mike tyson is the guy who was sentenced to 6 years in prison after he was convicted of raping a teenager.

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

This is what a Southern Baptist preacher in my bio family's hometown (who is very politically/partisanly active) posted today. In case you were thinking the recent Epstein files release would change their minds. They've known who these people are. They don't care.

Christian Nationalists/MAGA won't be swayed by anything in the Epstein files not only bc they don't actually care about others, but also bc they've been raised their entire lives to unquestioningly obey a violent and murderous god who is infallible in his actions.
