ooh, that’s a good point about Paul
the superficiality is control, like that time he was stopped on the street to give his reaction after the murder of John, he was keeping all emoting in check, because he needed to feel in control during a time of shock

When anarchism isn't being villified as evil it's being dismissed with an eyeroll by people who think they know better. But in Minneapolis, we're seeing the power of this maligned philosophy.

Minneapolis Shows Us Anarchism at Work — Assigned
The trans community should look to Minneapolis as an example of how leaderless, bottom-up organizing can be more powerful than traditional politics in making change.

I think the turn of phrase is “give a party”, which used to be the standard formulation at least as late as the sixties, but gave way to ”throw a party”.

funnily enough, I was just trying to think of Star Wars planets in binary star systems, because it’s implied that Darth Maul tracks down Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine because there are so few planets that have “twin suns”
there are a handful in canon, but perhaps their rarity lines up with reality

I’m probably missing the joke, but it’s a reference to the once well-known Vietnam War-era slogan “what if they gave a war and nobody came”, which originates in a Carl Sandburg poem from the 1930s.

Her performance in Home Alone is the emotional heartbeat of the film. Out of many wonderful moments, the scene with her old friend and collaborator John Candy, whose eulogy she gave, is my favorite. The way O’Hara moves from incandescent rage through confusion to joy in just two minutes is perfect.
