I just realized Little Finger was in The Dark Knight Rises. Made dumb decisions in that one too 😂
I'm realizing the only good actor in this film was Anne Hathaway.
In this hostage situation it's like Bane and his three guys vs 200 people on the floor of the stock exchange come on folks.
Batman sounds like Donald Trump when he talks in his weird fake voice 😂
How did the FBI not know anything about Bane? Where is the FBI during this entire film, there's a nuclear weapon in NYC? Amateurs.

For every political foe you hate, know that their bad behavior is something you are capable of exhibiting, and in fact you probably have behaved that way before on some small level. Do you hate their callousness?

You too, like all of us, have had your moments of callousness.
And as you both have the capacity to be callous, you also both have the capacity to be benevolent and gracious.

It is not enough for you to deride your foe for being callous. You must be the model for benevolence and graciousness.
It is not enough for you to correct or ridicule your foe. You must also show him the way.

It is not enough to tell him he is being bad. You must also show him what it means to be good.

And now for a thread on the list of things I accomplished this year that I'm proud of:

1. In July right before my 25th birthday, after being emotionally intoxicated by the musical genius of @benhowardmusic and @MumfordAndSons for 9 years I deleted my Netflix to learn guitar.
2. I taught the 'Theory of Enchantment' around the world. What started out as an approach to having better convos about Israel on campus morphed into a general approach to conflict resolution of any nature. Now I've taught in Europe and America and look forward to expanding.
3. I finally stopped dragging my feet and started volunteering. I can't recommend this practice enough. It clarifies the mind and is a reminder of what truly matters in life. For me, its all about connecting people and elevating the human condition.

When I first heard @jordanbpeterson series analyzing the book of Genesis, I realized that his mind actually works in a similar way to that of jazz artists. The difference is he's using words whereas they are using chords. But both are making music and both are a sight to behold.
This is the same way Camille Paglia's mind works except, to use an analogy, she's a better musician. If Peterson is Charlie Parker, Paglia is Coltrane.
What's interesting is that, having been exposed to the music of Paglia's ideas, I find others whom society deems wise to be at best, boring.

Like Yuval Harari, whose book Sapiens I found to be dull and flat.

And I think Paglia would destroy Harari's ideas in debate.

Settle in; I am going to be a real wet blanket here and tell you how the Santa myth perpetuates class conflict.
You may remember from previous soapbox rantings that I was raised not believing in Santa. I knew my gifts were from my Mama.
Now being raised on welfare by a divorced teen mother and dipping between rural-poor and urban-poor lifestyles, you know we did not have a lot. Like, finding Mama crying in front of the fridge poor.

Thread:
Another little history lesson for the socialist-democrats admirers of Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
There isn't a single day I don't read their comments on Tweeter about how THEIR new socialism isn't what MY old socialism, the socialism I survived was.
They self appoint themselves as advocates for the working class, wrapping themselves in the red mantle of anti-capitalist fighters for the benefit of the proletariat. Which is quite ironic, because 99.9% of them never had a steady job nor worked with their hands in their lives
Being a college student pursuing a major in Gender Studies or Sexual Intersectionalism doesn't qualify one as a member of the working class. Nor being an aging hippy commune dweller turned politician like Bernie. Or a part-time bar tender turned congress-chick like Ocasio Cortez

Since it came up in my mentions and it's not healthy to talk just about vote suppression today but I also can't NOT talk politics: Batman isn't a fascist. There's no political theory of action to him and certainly no "volk." He's far more akin to a warlord in a failed state
His only ideology is power and control, specifically for him and his family, and he's willing to do what it takes (within the bounds of his code) to maintain that. But he is not building an ethnostate in Gotham, and spends much of his time fighting others like him; other warlords
This is entirely correct, though thankfully Miller got most of his iconic stuff in when he was only crypto. The most fash iteration of Batman though, I'd argue, is the Nolan version who collaborated with Harvey Dent, who was an out and out fascist.

that "do gay teens really need 'Love, Simon?'" article is funny to me because I'm imagining a world where heterosexual art must also double as activism. in that world, the headline is "do straight people *need* Transformers 2?"
"'Fast, But Perhaps too Furious?' The ultra-PC heterosexual film scores points for diversity, but its angst and in-your-face depiction of opposite-sex attraction will rightly turn off mainstream viewers."
"'The Notebook' pulls at heartstrings, and heterosexual rights advocates are heralding its poignant 'love is love' message. But why must straight love always rely on tragedy to get its point across?"

It's time for me to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while now.
With the fallout of Justice League's release, I think it's time to talk about DCEU fandom, and how it developed alongside the unraveling of WB's ambition for DC films.
Full disclaimer upfront: I am NOT talking about people who enjoy DC films, fans of DC characters, or anything like that. I'm friends on here with many people who like these movies. I'm talking specifically about the toxic folks who have ruined the reputation of DC fans.
You know the ones. The ones who sent critics death threats after bad reviews came in, who have harassed others for not sharing their opinions, who have formed conspiracy theories about Disney paying critics, who claim that people who don't like BVS "don't understand it".
