A good way to feel hope when shit sucks is to just rewatch Lord of the Rings and remember that Hobbits saved Middle Earth and it was long and tiring and they didn't come out unscathed but they did come out the other side.

Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain.
But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

BLACKHAT is not a perfect movie, but Mann's conception of the new face of evil being a dead-eyed slob playing at godhood, reducing all human life to data points while being utterly disconnected from their own actions by virtue of their tech was...on point.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.
Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

The Rock was attached to a remake of this about a decade ago, and I maintain that it's a terrible idea doomed to failure...but I 100% want to see someone tilt at that impossibly large windmill.
Because after all, what is Jack Burton if not ludicrously unfounded self confidence persisting?

I personally think this extreme wealth concentration and growth are the main reasons democracy is faltering. We can, as a public united, push for change. We do not have to accept this as our future.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Or Tim Drake, if they didn't want to be as obvious! Between the "Robin" nonsense and the dramatically insert mystery box nonsense with Talia, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is the one time Nolan let Franchise Fan Brain dictate story - and it's why RISES (while still good fun) is the weakest of the bunch.
Seriously though, why wasn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character in The Dark Knight Rises just named Dick Grayson?

This is part of why the Epstein class fights so hard against climate change mitigation. Make no mistake, by "overpopulation," they mean "not white people." These chuds are obsessed with "declining birth rates," but only among certain populations.

Your average rural 50 y/o farmer or horse trainer isn’t on Bluesky seeking the opinions of enlightened liberals.
They’re watching football and 70’s/80’s reruns on TV and getting shitfaced so they can face another day of manual labor tomorrow.
